Natura™ by Stora Enso
Our best-selling liquid packaging board, Natura is the high-performance choice for dairy products and other sensitive liquids.
Natura liquid packaging board is based on virgin fiber at production sites that follow certified product and hygiene management systems. It has an exceptionally high standard for odour and taste neutrality, making it ideal for packaging sensitive food products – and keeping them fresh and untainted over their entire lifetime.
As we always look to improve our material efficiency, making more out of trees, Natura today is enhanced with micro-fibrillated cellulose (MFC) for extra strength at a lower weight.
Natura Life™ by Stora Enso
Natural brown wood gives Natura Life its authentic look and visible fiber structure.
An unbleached liquid packaging board, Natura Life by Stora Enso is uniquely brown both on the inside and outside. This enhances the carton packaging’s organic appearance, making it stand out on shelves.
For Natura Life, less wood is needed and no bleaching chemicals are used, resulting in a lower weight.
Prime™ by Stora Enso
Prime offers premium beverage packaging and robust performance you can rely on.
Prime™ by Stora Enso for beverage packaging has been developed specifically to meet preferences in markets that have exacting requirements for liquid packaging boards. Its durability and high quality are enhanced by its three-layer structure, which is entirely based on solid bleached sulphate pulp (SBS).
When combined with an appropriate barrier, Prime serves a wide array of liquid food and beverage packaging applications – dairy products, juice, soups, water and yoghurt.
