Food Packaging & Sterile Packaging Coating Solutions

Safe · Water-Based · Cost-Efficient Finishing for Paper Boxes, Cups, and Eco-Friendly Packaging

Modern food packaging demands high safety standards, anti-grease performance, moisture resistance, and attractive surface finishing—without relying on PE film lamination.
Double100 provides compact, flexible, and cost-effective coating solutions for small and medium-sized packaging converters.

Why Coating Matters in Food Packaging

Food packaging converters face new challenges driven by environmental rules, hygiene standards, and the growth of digital printing.

Common Problems

Ink absorption & color dullness on uncoated kraft/paper
Oil & moisture penetration (pizza boxes, bakery boxes, takeaway food)
Scratches & rubbing marks during transport
Incompatibility between water-based inks and traditional varnishes
High cost & waste from PE lamination films

Double100’s Solution

A primer + top coating structure that works on most food-grade papers:

Water-Based Primer → IR Drying
  • seals the fibers

  • prevents excessive absorption

  • improves print vibrancy

  • enhances adhesion for UV coatings

UV or Water-Based Top Coating
  • glossy or matte finishing

  • anti-scratch surface

  • moisture and grease resistance

  • food-contact compliant formulations (outer surface)

👉 This hybrid structure provides PE-like performance without film lamination.

Industry Applications

1. Pizza Boxes & Takeaway Food Packaging

Typical Problems

  • oil penetration

  • uneven print coating

  • color fading after stacking

Our Solution

  • Water-based primer + IR drying

  • UV gloss/matt top coat

  • Durable anti-grease surface

  • Ideal for short to medium runs

Recommended Equipment

  • Water-Based Automatic Coater (Feeder → Primer Coater → Water Based Top coater and Dryer → Stacker)

  • AUPRO650 COATER

2. Paper Cups, Ice Cream Cups & Beverage Packaging

Digital-printed cups often face:

  • water absorption

  • slow drying

  • poor surface smoothness

Our water-based primer creates a uniform surface for printing and top coating.

Recommended Equipment

  • Water-Based Sheet-Fed Coater

  • UV Coater for outer-cup finishing

3. Bakery Boxes, Snack Boxes & Kraft Cartons

These boxes require:

  • rub resistance

  • clean surface finish

  • food-safe outer coating

Water-based coatings provide a sustainable alternative to film lamination.

4. Frozen Food Cartons (Moisture-Resistant Finishing)

Cold-chain logistics require coatings that withstand:

  • condensation

  • low temperature

  • frequent handling

The hybrid coating structure significantly improves durability and print clarity.

5. Sterile / Hygiene Packaging (Non-Contact Surface)

For packaging that does not touch food directly but demands hygiene:

  • cosmetic boxes

  • pharmaceutical cartons

  • medical accessory packaging

We provide water-based & UV-safe coatings to enhance cleanliness and protection.

Recommended Machines for Food Packaging Coating

1. Water-Based Automatic Coater (Feeder → Coater → IR Dryer → Stacker)

  • ideal for kraft paper, cartons, pizza boxes

  • fast drying

  • food-grade compatible primer

  • stable finishing for digital & flexo prints

  • supports gloss/matt water-based varnish

2. PRO Series UV Coaters

  • premium gloss/matte finishing

  • anti-scratch performance

  • compatible with UV inks, water-based inks, toner

  • compact footprint

3. Hybrid Coating Line (Primer + UV Top Coat)

  • primer coating with IR

  • printing

  • UV finishing

  • designed for short-run, high-value packaging
