Choose paperboard materials
Get on track towards a circular bioeconomy with paperboards based on renewable materials. Find the right packaging materials for the most demanding end-uses.
Paperboard offers a versatile solution for a wide range of packaging and printing applications. With our broad range of strong and lightweight paperboards, you can find the right balance of strength, stiffness, printability and material efficiency for your packaging needs.
Through smart material design, paperboard can deliver the performance required for packaging while using less material. Lightweight solutions can help improve material efficiency and logistics while maintaining the strength and functionality needed throughout the value chain.
Paperboard can also provide an alternative to plastic in suitable packaging applications. Our material and packaging expertise can help you identify where fiber-based solutions can meet your performance requirements and support your plastic-reduction targets.
