Stora Enso is collaborating with Oppboga Bruk AB for the lamination and sale of Stora Enso’s newly launched Ensovelvet™ – an uncoated solid bleached sulphate board.
“We are excited about our new paperboard Ensovelvet™,” says Tomas Larsson, Head of Product Line SBS, FBB, Liner & Book Paper, Stora Enso. “Customers will particularly appreciate the tactile feel of its velvety smooth surfaces as well as the high whiteness and stiffness of the product.”
Oppboga Bruk complements Ensovelvet’s range (240 – 320gsm) by laminating higher paper weights (490 – 650gsm). “This enables our customers to convert with a consistent look and feel to suit most packaging applications,” adds Larsson.
StoraEnso’s customers benefit from Oppboga Bruk’s recent investment of €6m in a purpose-built machine, which allows for increased production capacity and even higher quality output than previously. This is due to the constant monitoring of the board’s moisture profile and, if needed, its automatic adjustment, resulting in consistent sheet flatness of the paperboard compound.
Andrew Robinson, CEO, Oppboga Bruk, adds, “In addition to the word-class luxury packaging and graphic board Ensocoat 2S™, we are thrilled to promote the recently engineered uncoated solid bleached board Ensovelvet™.”
