Stora Enso launches Performa Nova, high-yield folding boxboard for consumer packaging | Stora Enso, new product,

Stora Enso is expanding its core packaging material offering with the launch of Performa Nova, a next-generation folding boxboard (FBB) that combines high yield with exceptional performance. The new board is designed to meet the growing demand for renewable, recyclable, and efficient packaging solutions in segments such as dry, frozen, and chilled food, chocolate, and confectionery.

Performa Nova is now available to customers for orders following the start-up of Stora Enso's state-of-the-art consumerboard production line in Oulu, Finland. The launch is a result of a major investment in fiber-based materials, reinforcing Stora Enso's long-term commitment to packaging sustainability and innovation.

Performa Nova is produced using FiberLight Tec, Stora Enso's extensively tested and proven proprietary technology that enables the creation of strong yet lightweight board. The result is higher material efficiency, which allows for more packages to be produced with less raw material - without sacrificing packaging strength or visual appearance.

The board offers excellent stiffness, box compression strength, and a smooth surface for high-quality printing, making it well-suited for demanding end uses. It is engineered for food safety and can be combined with barrier coatings for enhanced protection. Performa Nova is available in grammages from 200 to 315 g/m², supporting a wide range of packaging applications.

Stora Enso is the leading provider of renewable products in packaging, biomaterials, and wooden construction, and one of the largest private forest owners in the world.
