Manufactured from renewable material, the solution is a solid bleached sulphate (SBS) board made from pure virgin fibre.
Stora Enso product manager Eva Lundqvist said: “As our aim is to be the global benchmark in high-quality virgin-fibre carton board and the preferred partner to customers and brand owners in premium end-use segments, we have further developed our flagship board grade Ensocoat to fulfil this ambition.
“Luxury packaging typically involves embossing, foil stamping and other special effects that demand a lot from the material, its smoothness, whiteness and folding properties.
“Whiteness and brightness are the key technical properties, and we are also looking into whiteness as an aesthetic experience, based on insights gathered from our customers and stakeholders.”
Launched in the 1960s, Stora Enso’s Ensocoat boards offer improved barrier coating capabilities, and are capable of featuring printed graphics on both sides.
