What is aqueous coating?

About Aqueous Coating

Aqueous coating is a clear, water-based layer applied over the print on the press. It dries quickly and helps protect your boxes from scuffs, smudges and light moisture.

It is available in matte, satin and gloss looks and is a cost-effective, recyclable-friendly option for everyday retail, food and shipping packaging.

Design tips

  • Choose aqueous coating for basic protection at a lower cost.
  • Matte, satin and gloss looks are available.
  • For heavy handling, lamination offers stronger protection.
  • A great match for kraft and eco-friendly packaging lines.
