ESD coating for paper, cartons, envelopes, labels and packaging boards.
ProShieldESD converts suitable paper, cardboard, corrugated cartons, envelopes, labels, inserts and paper-based packaging materials into static-control surfaces. After coating, the substrate also gains very good moisture resistance, helping improve both ESD protection and packaging durability.
ESD-coated cartons, envelopes and paper packaging
Use the paper packaging format you need. Add ESD and moisture-resistance performance at the surface.
Paper is used everywhere in electronics manufacturing, storage, shipping and handling — cartons, paper dividers, labels, documentation packs, envelopes and inserts. But ordinary paper can generate or hold static charge. ProShieldESD gives manufacturers and packaging converters a practical route to make suitable paper-based materials part of the ESD control programme.
Paper format freedom
Convert suitable paper, cardboard, cartons, labels, dividers, wraps and envelopes into static-control packaging surfaces.
Added moisture resistance
After coating, the paper substrate gains very good moisture resistance, supporting better handling and storage durability.
Brand-friendly appearance
Avoid the black or heavily filled look often associated with conventional carbon-loaded conductive packaging.
Coating-first solution
Apply ProShieldESD to suitable paper substrates instead of depending only on ready-made conductive packaging materials.
Paper packaging is often ignored in ESD control plans.
ESD programmes usually control floors, wrist straps, workstations, garments and tools. But the paper materials that touch, wrap, separate, label or travel with sensitive products are often treated as ordinary packaging.
The problem
Cartons, envelopes, labels, inserts and paper dividers can generate charge during movement, rubbing, stacking, packing and unpacking around sensitive electronic devices.
The coating route
Suitable paper substrates can be coated with ProShieldESD to create a static-control surface while retaining the practical advantages of paper packaging.
The result
Packaging can gain ESD-control behaviour and improved moisture resistance without depending only on conductive plastics, carbon-loaded sheets or temporary anti-static treatments.
ESD performance for paper — without turning packaging into carbon-filled material.
ProShieldESD is based on intrinsically conductive polymer technology. Unlike conventional carbon or filler-loaded systems, it is designed to create static-control performance through a conductive polymer-based coating approach.
For paper and cellulose-based substrates
Useful for suitable cartons, cardboard sheets, corrugated packaging, envelopes, labels, tags, inserts, dividers and paper wraps.
Uniform static-control surface
The homogeneous coating helps create controlled ESD behaviour across the coated paper surface.
Moisture-resistance advantage
Once coated, the paper substrate can gain very good resistance to moisture, improving packaging robustness in humid or variable storage conditions.
ESD-coated paper packaging in use
Turn paper packaging into a functional ESD and moisture-resistant layer.
ProShieldESD helps packaging teams move beyond ordinary paper and temporary anti-static treatment. Suitable paper materials can be coated to deliver static-control performance while also improving resistance to moisture exposure.

Make packaging part of the protected process.
Paper-based packaging often travels with the product from manufacturing to storage, shipment, service and return logistics. Coating suitable paper materials with ProShieldESD helps convert them from uncontrolled packaging into controlled static-management surfaces.
Visible control
Coated paper packaging can help teams separate ESD-control packaging from ordinary paper materials in production and logistics workflows.
Dual protection value
Static-control behaviour and moisture resistance can be built into the same coated paper surface for better packaging performance.
Audit support
Helps ESD teams include cartons, labels, inserts, envelopes and paper documents in a more complete static-control strategy.
Specify the paper product you need. Add ESD and moisture resistance with ProShieldESD.
ProShieldESD is useful for projects where the packaging design already requires a specific paper grade, board thickness, carton format, label structure, envelope style or printed appearance. The suitable paper product can be selected first, then coated for static-control and moisture-resistance performance.
The coating approach should be selected based on the paper type, porosity, surface finish, required resistance range, moisture exposure, printability and final packaging use.
For packaging converters
Develop ESD-coated paper products from suitable sheets, cartons, envelopes, labels, boards, separators and converted packaging forms.
For electronics manufacturers
Improve control over packaging materials used near PCBs, modules, devices, tools, instruments and static-sensitive assemblies.
For durability-focused packaging
Use the moisture-resistance advantage to improve coated paper behaviour during humid storage, transit, handling and warehousing.
From ordinary paper packaging to ESD-control packaging.
Each project should be evaluated based on paper type, board grade, absorbency, surface finish, print requirement, coating coverage, resistance target, moisture-resistance requirement and end-use environment.
Select the substrate
Choose suitable paper, cardboard, carton board, corrugated board, label stock, envelope paper or insert material.
Define performance
Set the ESD target, moisture-resistance requirement, appearance need, printability expectation and packaging function.
Apply coating
Apply the suitable ProShieldESD coating method based on paper porosity, surface area, thickness and final converted format.
Verify performance
Test surface resistance, coating uniformity, moisture behaviour, handling durability and final packaging suitability.
Specify ESD paper coating before choosing conductive packaging alternatives.
Review the ProShieldESD technology, ESD knowledge resources and application guidance before selecting the paper substrate, coating route and validation plan.

Can this be used for ESD cartons and corrugated boxes?
Yes. Suitable carton board and corrugated packaging materials can be evaluated for ProShieldESD coating based on the required resistance range, coating process, moisture-resistance need and final packaging use.
Can coated paper still be printed or branded?
In many applications, clean and brand-friendly appearance can be maintained. Final printability depends on the paper grade, surface finish, ink system, coating process and converting method.
Can ESD coated paper replace conductive plastic packaging?
In suitable applications, coated paper packaging may reduce dependency on conductive plastic packaging. However, final suitability depends on the sensitivity of the product, protection level required, shipping condition and customer-specific ESD requirements.
What paper products can be coated?
Typical possibilities include cartons, corrugated sheets, cardboard boxes, labels, tags, envelopes, inserts, dividers, paper wraps, documentation sheets and specialty packaging boards.
Need paper packaging that provides ESD control and moisture resistance?
Use the paper, carton, label, envelope or packaging board your application requires, then apply ProShieldESD coating to add static-control performance and very good moisture resistance.
Note: Final performance depends on paper type, board grade, surface condition, absorbency, coating grade, application method, drying or curing conditions, print system, abrasion exposure, moisture exposure and verification testing. The finished packaging should be validated for the required ESD range and end-use environment.
