Roland Coatings brings specialty coating expertise to packaging applications that require protection, consistency, and material performance. As packaging demands grow across regulated and consumer-driven markets, the company’s coating technologies are a strong fit for newer segments such as Pet and Pharmaceuticals. These industries rely on packaging materials that support barrier performance, product safety, shelf stability, print quality, and operational efficiency. Roland Coatings addresses those needs with coating solutions developed for paperboard, flexible packaging, labels, and other specialty substrates, including options that support food-contact requirements and sustainability goals.
Why the Pet Industry Is a Strong Fit
The pet category is a natural extension of Roland Coatings’ packaging capabilities. Pet food and pet treat packaging often require the same performance features as human food packaging, particularly for products exposed to grease, oils, moisture, and repeated handling. Dry kibble, wet food, treats, and frozen pet products all depend on packaging that protects freshness while maintaining package integrity from production through retail. Roland’s coating solutions help support those requirements while also giving brands more flexibility in how they build and present their packaging.
Pet Packaging Applications: Performance and Product Protection
Barrier coatings can help reduce grease migration, improve moisture resistance, and protect packaging integrity during storage and distribution. This is relevant across paperboard packaging, wraps, cartons, lidding materials, labels, and flexible structures used for pet food and treats. If the package needs to hold up on shelf, protect the product, and maintain a clean, high-quality appearance, the coating has to do real work. Roland’s expertise in food contact approved barrier coating applications makes it especially relevant for pet consumable packaging where safety and material performance are both essential.
Sustainability Opportunities in Pet Packaging
Sustainability is also shaping packaging decisions across the pet category. Brands are under pressure to reduce plastic use, improve material choices, and meet consumer expectations without giving up package performance. Roland Coatings can support that shift through coating technologies compatible with bio-based substrates and paper-based packaging formats. These coatings can add the resistance needed for grease, moisture, and handling stress, helping pet brands move into more sustainable packaging structures with greater confidence.
Why Pharmaceuticals Represent a Strategic New Industry
In Pharmaceuticals, Roland Coatings is best positioned as a packaging solutions partner rather than a drug manufacturer. The company’s value is in coated materials and specialty packaging components that support labels, cartons, inserts, thermal papers, and paper-based secondary packaging. Pharmaceutical packaging must balance presentation, protection, and consistency, especially in environments where handling, storage, and traceability matter. Roland’s experience with regulated packaging applications makes it relevant for businesses that need coating performance without unnecessary complexity.
Pharmaceutical Packaging Applications for Roland Coatings
Roland Coatings can add value across several pharmaceutical packaging applications, particularly where coated materials play a role in packaging function and usability. Folding cartons, coated labels, inserts, thermal label materials, and secondary packaging components can all benefit from coatings that improve barrier performance, printability, and handling durability. For packaging teams focused on keeping materials legible, stable, and clean throughout distribution, coating selection matters. Roland’s background in food contact approved barrier coating solutions also reinforces its credibility in packaging environments where safety, consistency, and compliance are key considerations.
The Role of Bio-Based Substrates in Pharmaceutical Packaging Innovation
Sustainability goals are also influencing pharmaceutical and healthcare-adjacent packaging decisions. As more companies consider paper-based and renewable packaging materials, coating performance becomes a critical part of making those materials viable for commercial use. Roland Coatings can support that effort with solutions compatible with bio-based substrates, helping improve durability, print quality, and barrier performance in non-sterile or secondary pharmaceutical packaging applications.
