Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing coated paperboard suitable for packaging paperboard applications. The method comprises coating a first surface of the paperboard web by applying a) a first coating composition in a precoating unit for forming a precoating layer comprising inorganic mineral pigment particles and least one binder for sealing the first surface of the paperboard web; and b) a second coating composition in a curtain coating unit for forming at least one barrier coating layer on the first surface of the paperboard web; and c) a third coating composition comprising a polymer dispersion in the curtain coating unit for forming at least one heat sealable coating layer on the first surface of the paperboard web. The temperature of the coated paperboard web is controlled and adjusted, and the paperboard web is cooled in at least one cooling unit.
