US converter Michelman has unveiled a repulpable coating to replace wax coated boxes in meat packaging.

The corrugated boxes are usually coated with wax to protect perishable food items such as meat during transportation.

The new coatings are resistant to heat, cold, water and oil and can be custom-manufactured to meet the packaging requirements of fresh and frozen meat products, said Michelman.
