Stora Enso introduces Performa Lumi, a new GC1 folding boxboard (FBB) designed for brands seeking both premium visual impact and efficient material use. Produced on Stora Enso’s new BM6 packaging line in Oulu, Finland, Performa Lumi expands the Performa 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, Performa Lumi is produced using FiberLight TecTM, 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 optimizing material efficiency.
“Performa Lumi is designed for brands that want premium appearance without unnecessary complexity,” says 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. Performa Lumi is available in grammages from 205 to 310 gsm and offers high stiffness and efficient yield across the range, supporting a variety of packaging formats.
Performa Lumi joins Stora Enso’s expansive portfolio of carton board products. With its launch, Stora Enso continues to drive innovation in renewable materials, offering customers flexible supply and helping to shift toward circular packaging solutions.
