High-Performance Coatings
Our proprietary SurfSHIELD coatings and laminations protect your products and aid in your production line, all while benefiting the environment. The SurfSHIELD line includes all resin-based and water-based coatings as well as our specialty films and foil laminations.
SurfSHIELD coatings and laminates can be applied to all standard liner basis weights. With three different options, they offer you just the right level of protection for your specific need:
- Regular Cobb and Super Cobb are hotmelt and coldset compatible. Both coatings offer the benefit of water hold-out in addition to being flexo printable.
- The SurfSHIELD Plus coating is highly water-repellent. It is recommended when water and ice are to be kept in the box for prolonged periods of time.
- All three have an anti-blocking treatment to ease handling into the sheet feeder.

When I found out about the water-based, anti-abrasive coatings available through Cascades Sonoco, I asked my packaging facility to implement their solution. Today, I've reclaimed almost 70% of my previous product losses. And my customers love that they are able to recycle the boxes my bottles are shipped in.
