Packaging
In the packaging industry, waxes perform key functions such as protecting products and enhancing their appearance. Some waxes provide greater moisture resistance, improve packaging durability, or create visually attractive finishes. Here we tell you which are the most used waxes for this purpose at Ceras Martí and their applications.
Benefits of using waxes in packaging
- Improved durability. Waxes provide an additional layer of protection that helps maintain the integrity of the packaging during handling and transportation.
- Superior aesthetics. They offer a glossy and professional finish that can enhance product presentation.
- Environmental protection. Natural waxes are an eco-friendly option for packaging, appreciated by sectors that prioritize sustainability.
- Versatility. Waxes can be adapted to different types of packaging materials, from paper and cardboard to food containers.
Carnauba wax
Carnauba wax is one of the most valuable in packaging for its ability to form a resistant and glossy protective layer. This wax is used in coatings for cardboard and paper to improve their resistance to water and abrasion. Its durability and luxurious appearance make it ideal for products that require maintaining excellent presentation under varying environmental conditions.
Candelilla wax
Thanks to its flexibility and durability, candelilla wax is commonly used in the coating of boxes and other packaging materials. In addition to providing a barrier against wear and moisture, this wax is perfect for packaging that must withstand continuous handling and maintain product integrity during transport.
Beeswax
Although its use in packaging is more limited, beeswax offers a natural and eco-friendly option. It is particularly suitable for food coatings or products that need gentle, safe protection. Its antimicrobial properties help preserve the quality of the contents without affecting the nature of the product.
