Not every application can be solved with a standard material—and not every coating partner can take a concept all the way to validated production.
When performance requirements are complex, success depends on more than coating capability. It requires a partner that can develop, test, validate, and scale a solution with confidence.
General Data’s Coated Products Division combines custom toll coating with in-house lab services to help customers move from idea to production-ready material—efficiently and with reduced risk.
Custom Toll Coating Built Around Your Application
General Data’s team of product engineers, technicians, and coating specialists brings decades of experience to solving both simple and complex coating challenges.
Capabilities include coating customer-owned substrates, applying topcoats and adhesives, and developing custom constructions and formulations tailored to specific requirements.
Whether supporting an existing product or a new development initiative, toll coating services provide:
- Application-specific coating solutions
- Access to experienced coating specialists
- Support for new product development and R&D initiatives
- Scalable processes aligned with production requirements
- Reliable turnaround to support product launch timelines
For many organizations, this added layer of expertise strengthens internal development efforts and accelerates time to market.
Lab Services that Validate Performance Before Production
Development without validation introduces risk. That’s where General Data’s lab services play a critical role.
The Coated Products lab provides testing, analysis, and third-party validation across a range of adhesive and coating technologies, including:
- Traditional rubber hot melt
- Emulsion acrylics
- UV acrylic adhesives
Once validated, coatings can be scaled using General Data’s wide-format toll coating capabilities, including:
- Adhesive
- UV
- Direct
- Flexographic
- Corona
Finished materials can be delivered in press-ready formats through:
- Slitting
- Perforating
- Material
This integrated workflow ensures alignment between lab results and production output, a critical factor in maintaining consistency.
For Procurement and Operations, this approach reduces supplier complexity.
For Engineering and R&D, it provides validation and technical confidence.
For Quality, it ensures measurable, repeatable performance.
For Marketing and Product teams, it enables faster, more reliable product launches.
By combining custom toll coating with in-house lab validation, General Data helps organizations move forward with greater certainty and better results.
Validate Your Coating Before You Scale It
Bringing a new coated product to market requires more than a concept—it requires proven performance.
General Data works with engineering, R&D, quality, procurement, and product teams to develop, test, and validate coated solutions before full-scale production.
If you’re evaluating a new coating, adhesive, or material—or need to validate performance before launch—contact General Data to start the conversation.
