Introduction to PE Coated Board

HardVogue PE Coated Board: The Guardian of Packaging That's Both Safe and Eye-Catching

In the world of packaging, we've dressed your products in an invisible "raincoat"—our PE coated board, ranging from 200 to 600 microns, is built to resist moisture and grease while beautifully showcasing your brand, just like a canvas. You've probably seen those perfectly shaped frozen food boxes in supermarket freezers or the leak-proof takeout containers on food delivery platforms—chances are, they are our masterpieces.


HardVogue Coated Paper Board Manufacturers 

have designed three "protective outfits" for different scenarios:
  • Single-Layer PE: Light and simple, the basic protection choice

  • Double-Layer PE: Heavy-duty protection, providing extra security for delicate products

  • Specialty PE: Custom solutions tailored to meet specific needs

This seemingly simple coating hides some impressive features:

✓ Moisture resistance keeps the box firm even in freezers

✓ Oil-resistant properties eliminate messy takeout experiences

✓ Excellent printability ensures vibrant, long-lasting designs


At HardVogue's factory, our fully automated coating machines apply a "protective coat" to every sheet of cardboard with micron-level precision. Our "electronic eye" quality control system detects even the smallest coating flaws. After a popular bubble tea shop switched to our PE coated cups, their customer complaint rate dropped by 60%.

From moisture-resistant frozen foods to quality-driven takeout boxes, we make packaging that's both practical and aesthetically pleasing. When your customers give a thumbs-up for leak-proof packaging, that's our greatest satisfaction. After all, in today's experience-driven world, packaging should offer both peace of mind and comfort.
