Stora Enso has launched CKB Nude, a new paperboard designed to meet consumer preferences for renewable, recyclable and sustainable materials with a natural look and feel.

Presented at the FachPack trade show in Nuremberg (27-29 September 2016), CKB Nude is suitable for a wide range of end use applications, from food packaging to beverages, cosmetics and luxury thanks to its durability, light weight and converting and printing quality.

Made from pure virgin fibre, CKB Nude is a safe choice not only for food packaging, but also for many other products. As an uncoated, brown board, CKB Nude has an eye-catching organic appeal to consumers who favour sustainable, natural products. The material provides opportunities to differentiate a brand on the shelf, and the appearance of the packaging can enhance the organic perception of the packaged product,” says Essi Lauri, Product Manager.

Made from 100% virgin fibre and in a strict production process similar to liquid packaging board, CKB Nude provides proven food safety, and there are no coating chemicals used. This creates additional value, as there is an increasing demand for more natural and healthier products.

CKB Nude offers the same remarkable stiffness and strength for which the entire Stora Enso CKB product family is known. Its good runnability and convertibility enable high production efficiency and packaging performance in every application,” adds Stora Enso.

CKB Nude comes in 205, 230 and 255 g/m2 basis weights.
