Stora Enso is enhancing its core packaging material offerings with the introduction of Performa Nova, a cutting-edge folding boxboard (FBB). This innovative product combines high yield with outstanding performance, specifically tailored to meet the rising demand for renewable, recyclable, and efficient packaging solutions in sectors such as food and drink, including dry, frozen, and chilled food, chocolate, and confectionery.

Following the launch of Stora Enso’s advanced consumer board production line in Oulu, Finland, Performa Nova is now available for customer orders. This significant launch stems from a major investment in fiber-based materials, reinforcing Stora Enso’s ongoing dedication to sustainability and innovation in food and drink sustainable packaging.

Performa Nova is crafted using FiberLight Tec™, Stora Enso’s rigorously tested and proven proprietary technology that facilitates the creation of robust yet lightweight board. This approach enhances material efficiency, allowing for the production of more packages with less raw material, all while maintaining packaging strength and visual appeal.

“At the core of Performa Nova is a breakthrough in how we approach strength and sustainability. By leveraging our FiberLight Tec™ technology, we’ve been able to develop a product that supports brand owners’ and converters’ efficiency goals while maintaining the high standards required for protecting packaged products,” says Tuomas Puonti, Vice President of Product Development at Stora Enso Packaging Materials.

This board delivers exceptional stiffness, box compression strength, and a smooth surface for high-quality printing, making it ideal for demanding applications. Furthermore, it is designed with food safety in mind and can be paired with barrier coatings for enhanced protection. Performa Nova is available in grammages ranging from 200 to 315 g/m², accommodating a wide variety of packaging needs.

With the launch of Performa Nova, Stora Enso expands its extensive portfolio of cartonboard products. In doing so, Stora Enso continues to lead innovation in renewable materials, providing customers with flexible supply options while advancing the transition to renewable, circular packaging solutions.
