Premier, the UK’s leading paper merchant, has added a revolutionary new packaging solution to its carton and graphical board proposition with Performa Nova by Stora Enso (GC2). Enabled by the company’s patented FiberLight Tec™ technology, this lightweight, high-performance folding boxboard (FBB) is designed for the dry, frozen and chilled food sectors as well as for chocolate and confectionery.

Manufactured at Stora Enso’s state-of-the-art Oulu mill in northern Finland, Performa Nova (GC2) is made with traceable, renewable materials and comprises a triple-coated top side and an uncoated reverse.

The production process also utilises the company’s proprietary FiberLight Tec™ technology, which offers maximum efficiency with less material, while maintaining its strength, lightness and a smooth aesthetic that supports optimal printability.

Premier is the exclusive merchant stockist for Performa Nova (GC2) within the UK and Ireland. The new grade is available in eight substances from 305mic/200gsm to 533mic/315gsm. It is accessible from stock as FSC-certified and hard-sized.

Devised with food safety in mind, it can be used for dry,  frozen and chilled goods and is

Robinson-certified for chocolate. It is also worth noting that any product purchased from Premier within the UK can be carbon captured, offsetting your CO₂ emissions through their affiliation with The Woodland Trust.

“We’re delighted to have strengthened our relationship with Stora Enso and look forward to working with them as a key supplier within our carton and graphical board division”, says Duncan Green, Sales Director, Premier Board Division.
