Packaging Solutions

Stora Enso has introduced Performa Lumi, a new GC1 folding boxboard (FBB) designed for brands seeking both premium visual impact and efficient material use.

Produced on the company’s new BM6 packaging line in Oulu, Finland, Performa Lumi expands the range alongside Performa Nova, offering a complementary option for everyday beauty, personal care, and healthcare packaging.

Performa Lumi is a CTMP board coated on both sides with a light coated reverse, delivering high whiteness, excellent printability, and a smooth surface that supports strong brand expression. It is an ideal choice for applications where shelf appeal and consistent performance are equally important. 

Like Performa Nova, the new Lumi is produced using FiberLight Tec, Stora Enso’s proven proprietary technology that enables the creation of strong yet lightweight board structures. This allows brand owners to achieve the desired functionality while optimising material efficiency.

‘Performa Lumi is designed for brands that want premium appearance without unnecessary complexity,’ said Kati Ekman, head of product line FBB. ‘For brand owners, that means one board solution that can cover multiple end uses, from beauty to personal care and beyond with reliable results.’

Performa Lumi has been designed to withstand external stresses in printing and conversion, making it well suited for demanding end uses. The board is suitable for direct food contact and adheres to industry odour and taste standards. It is available in grammages from 205 to 310 g/m2 and offers high stiffness and efficient yield across the range, supporting a variety of packaging formats.
