Stora Enso launches Performa Nova folding boxboard for recyclable packaging

Stora Enso launches Performa Nova, a next-generation folding boxboard (FBB) designed for renewable, recyclable, and efficient packaging solutions in segments such as dry, frozen, and chilled food, chocolate, and confectionery.

Stora Enso launches Performa Nova, a folding boxboard for renewable, recyclable, and efficient packaging solutions.

Performa Nova is produced using FiberLight Tec which 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.

“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," said Tuomas Puonti, Vice President of Product Development at Stora Enso Packaging Materials.

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.
