Finnish packaging manufacturer Stora Enso has introduced a new board grade, Performa Brilliance, for high-quality folding cartons and graphical products.
The premium offering differs from other board grades in the company’s Performa product family through the inclusion of chemi-thermomechanical pulp (CMTP), which is made from birch fibre and enhances the board’s visual properties. Stora Enso has invested €6m in its mill in central Sweden to enable CTMP production from birch.
Jari Latvanen, head of Stora Enso’s consumer board division, said: “Performa Brilliance is one of the best folding boxboards created by Stora Enso and sets new standards for visuals, printability and runnability. The key characteristics of Performa Brilliance include high brightness, excellent smoothness and great visual appearance. Combine this with high quality and versatility and you have a perfect match for any premium brand. The board offers superior whiteness, on both top and reverse side, in the folding boxboard market.”
