What is poly coated paper?
Poly coated paper packaging and products are made of the same kinds of fibers used to make paper and paper board.
A thin coating is then added to one or both sides of the paper to provide a barrier against water, oil, and grease so that it can be used to serve, package, and protect a wide range of products. These can be multi-material, foils, laminations, steel bottoms/tops, and more. Common poly coated paper products include:
Food and beverage packaging
like cartons for milk, juice, or broth, cans or tubes for chips or refrigerated dough, tubs for ice cream, or resealable pouches for nuts or coffee.
Household and personal care packaging
like shipping envelopes, push-up tubes for deodorant, and blister pack backing.
Foodservice items
like beverage cups, paper plates, trays, and carriers.
Flexibles and laminates
like bags or pouches for coffee beans or nuts.
