GERHARDSHOFEN, Germany — WEILBURGER Graphics GmbH, a coating, flexo inks and adhesive manufacturer headquartered in Gerhardshofen, Germany, introduced a waterproof coating for flexo coating applications and used the coating to create a waterproof drink cooler.
To demonstrate the properties of this coating, the company designed and made a special drink cooler to be used with bottles from the Loscher Brewery GmbH & Co. in the nearby town of Münchsteinach, Germany. This folded carton packaging made with four pieces comes equipped with a cooling tray and can take up to 500 g of crushed ice or cold water. To optimize the cooling, the box was designed in a way that a removable cover achieves a long-lasting, continuously hermetic cooling chamber in which two 330 ml bottles from Loscher Brewery are contained.
