Packaging Solutions

Premier is celebrating six decades of Stora Enso’s excellent Ensocoat brand of graphical and packaging boards.

Ensocoat was first produced 60 years ago by Stora Enso at the Imatra Mill in Eastern Finland. Throughout the years this luxury solid bleached sulphate (SBS) board has been consistently developed and enhanced, earning a global reputation as a world class luxury packaging and graphical board.

Ensocoat is a coated SBS board that features a multi-layered, fibre structure of chemical pulp for extra stiffness and strength; it is this structure allows for Ensocoat to withstand the most demanding finishing processes. It delivers an aesthetic visual quality combined with a smooth, luxury feel; truly enhancing a brand’s representation. For decades, printers have chosen this reliable material for its superior performance in folded structures and its surface smoothness for superb finishes.

Ensocoat is manufactured using renewable fibres from sustainably managed forests and bio energy, unboxing a wealth of sustainability benefits for printers, packaging converters and brand owners alike.

Ensocoat is high quality SBS board that offers versatility in a number of luxury packaging and graphical applications. It forms an integral part of our product portfolio at Premier.’
