The new board is designed to serve sectors such as beauty, personal care, and healthcare packaging.<\/p>\n

Performa Lumi is made from CTMP [chemi-thermomechanical pulp] and features a coating on both sides, including a lightly coated reverse.<\/p>\n

According to the company, the board offers high whiteness and print quality, with a smooth surface. It is suited for situations where both shelf appearance and reliability are priorities.<\/p>\n

The production process uses FiberLight Tec, Stora Enso\u2019s technology that is designed to produce boards that are lightweight yet strong.<\/p>\n

Stora Enso notes that Performa Lumi is built to handle various stresses involved in printing and conversion, addressing the needs of demanding packaging applications.<\/p>\n

The board complies with industry standards for direct food contact, odour, and taste.<\/p>\n

Available in weights from 205gsm to 310gsm, it also provides high stiffness and efficiency across different packaging designs.<\/p>\n

The company said that with this development, it continues to address renewable material packaging needs, supporting the industry\u2019s move towards more circular solutions.<\/p>\n

Stora Enso FBB Product Line head Kati Ekman said: \u201cPerforma Lumi is designed for brands that want a premium appearance without unnecessary complexity.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor brand owners, that means one board solution that can cover multiple end-uses, from beauty to personal care and beyond with reliable results.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, Stora Enso partnered with Krekelberg <\/a>Flock Products and Flocktechniek\u2013C&B Innovations to develop a flocked version of its Papira wood foam material.<\/p>\n

This process gives the material a three-dimensional structure with a velvet-like texture.<\/p>\n
