Success Stories

"I had to get out of wax boxes."

Fewer retailers would accept my product in wax-coated boxes.

The market is changing, and my customers just can't accept wax anymore. So, I asked my carton supplier to make the switch to SurfSHIELD and FluteSHIELD coatings from Cascades Sonoco. Not only am I evolving with my customers' needs, but I've significantly reduced my own product losses during shipping. My product has never arrived in better condition!

Success Stories

"I'm so glad I made the switch."

I've been shipping wine to my customers for over 15 years in boxes with standard partitions.

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.

Advanced Properties

    SurfSHIELD-treated pads and partitions help protect glassware, auto parts, beverages, cosmetics, appliance, furniture, and more.

  • Anti-Static

    SurfSHIELD conductive and dissipative coatings are ideal for partitions and corrugated and folding cartons designed for electronics shipments.

  • Rust Inhibiting

    Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs) are designed to create an invisible barrier against moisture, providing excellent corrosion protection for metal surfaces.

    SurfSHIELD offers PMS and GCMI color coatings with or without varnish, while Permawhite maintains an optimal white finish even after waxing.
