Wax Alternative Packaging
PB Packaging is at the forefront of providing the most effective wax alternative boxes in the market. Operating in a highly specialized segment in the corrugated box market, our expertise in specifications, strength and the sustainability of coated boxes provides packaging solutions to the poultry, seafood, and produce industries we supply. When water, ice, humidity, oils, grease, and fats compromise the strength of the inside and outside of the box, the treatments in and on the paper are critical to its performance.
Our industry knowledge in the processing of coated boxes drills down to the coatings, adhesives, inks, and even the equipment used in production. Optimal performance in moisture-rich environments depends on metrics such as ring crush value, cobb value, tensile strength, basis weight, and recyclable content. We ensure the correct roll stock is used so our clients know that the box is built to optimize performance.

Sustainability
For years, the most cost-effective way to coat a box was through the use of paraffin wax. While it improves the performance and strength of the box, the wax prevents it from being recyclable. As sustainability initiatives become more universal and more companies dedicate resources to assess what happened to their boxes at the end of their life cycle, wax alternatives became the solution.
