Premier, the UK’s leading paper merchant, has added a revolutionary new packaging solution to its carton and graphical board proposition with Performa Nova GC2. Enabled by patented FiberLight Tec™, this lightweight, high-performance folding boxboard (FBB) is designed for the dry, frozen and chilled food sectors as well as for chocolate and confectionery.
Developed by Stora Enso and manufactured at its state-of-the-art Oulu mill in northern Finland, the groundbreaking Performa Nova GC2 innovation is produced from responsibly sourced, renewable materials and has a triple coated top side and an uncoated reverse.
Using a proprietary FiberLight Tec™ engineering process which offers maximum efficiency from less material, it maintains 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 and is available in eight substances from 305mic/200gsm up 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 goods or refrigerated items 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.
With the Oulu mill’s daily production capacity currently exceeding 2,000 tonnes, this breakthrough offering underpins Premier and Stora Enso’s vision of reducing, replacing and reimagining packaging well into the future.
“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.
