Archipelago's Powerdrop^TM is a versatile non-contact coating technology.  Powerdrop enables metered application of your chosen coating material with low waste and high transfer coefficient. Powerdrop enables waterproof, oilproof, and gasproof layers to be created on paper-based 3D-shaped containers.  The coating layer can be thin enough for the used containers to be recycled through standard recycling routes. The Powerdrop technology is robust; you can use it with sticky, glue-like coatings with low maintenance and high productivity.

Archipelago Technology makes, supplies, and supports its Powerdrop non-contact coating systems.  Powerdrop coating is the ideal choice to functionalise paper packages for storing food and drinks safely.
