Roland Coatings provides coating solutions for foodservice disposable packaging manufacturers. The focus is on functional barrier systems applied to paper and fiber-based substrates used in takeout and quick-service food packaging. These coatings are developed to support grease resistance, moisture control, and durability while reducing reliance on conventional plastic linings.
The product line supports manufacturers producing eco friendly food packaging items such as food trays, wraps, boxes, and containers used across foodservice operations. The coatings are formulated for compatibility with existing converting processes and are supplied in scalable production volumes for industrial use.
Foodservice Disposables Market Needs
Foodservice packaging manufacturers continue to face pressure from retailers, regulators, and brand owners to reduce plastic usage while maintaining performance requirements. Grease leakage, moisture failure, and recycling limitations remain common issues in paper-based packaging.
Roland Coatings supplies coating systems that directly address these requirements. The focus is on replacing plastic-based barriers with functional coating alternatives that allow paper substrates to perform under food contact conditions without compromising structural integrity or usability.
Barrier Coating Systems for Food Packaging
Roland Coatings develops barrier coatings for sustainable food packaging that support grease resistance, moisture resistance, and heat stability across foodservice applications. These coatings are applied to paperboard and fiber substrates used in packaging for hot, cold, and frozen foods.
The coating systems are formulated to work within standard manufacturing lines, allowing converters to maintain production efficiency while shifting away from plastic-laminated structures. Performance consistency across coated surfaces is prioritized for high-volume food packaging production.
Water-Based Plastic Replacement Technology
A key focus is the development of water-based plastic replacement coating systems that support the transition away from polyethylene and other plastic films used in food packaging.
These water-based plastic replacement coatings are designed for paper-based packaging that requires barrier protection without plastic layers. The technology supports grease holdout and moisture resistance while maintaining coating flexibility and print compatibility. Manufacturers use these systems to produce foodservice disposables that meet functional requirements while reducing plastic content in finished packaging structures.
Applications in Foodservice Packaging
Roland’s coatings are used across a range of foodservice disposable applications, including:
- Takeout boxes and containers
- Pizza packaging
- Bakery cartons and sleeves
- Fast food wraps and liners
- Frozen food trays and cartons
- Beverage containers and cup stock
These applications rely on coating performance that holds up under oils, sauces, condensation, and temperature changes. The coatings are formulated to maintain surface stability across these conditions while supporting fiber-based packaging formats.
Product Value for Packaging Manufacturers
Packaging converters and brand owners use these coating systems to shift product lines toward eco friendly food packaging solutions without changing core manufacturing infrastructure.
Key value areas include:
- Reduced reliance on plastic liners
- Compatibility with existing coating and converting equipment
- Stable performance for grease and moisture protection
- Flexibility for different paper grades and board types
The coatings support production efficiency while allowing manufacturers to meet customer-driven sustainability targets.
Manufacturing Support and Collaboration
Roland Coatings works directly with packaging manufacturers on coating development and production support. This includes formulation adjustments based on substrate type, end-use application, and processing requirements.
Production support covers pilot testing through scale-up phases, with a focus on consistent coating application and repeatable performance across production runs. This allows manufacturers to move from concept to commercial output with controlled material performance.
