Stora Enso’s new LumiLiner
Stora Enso, in close collaboration with producers of boxes and corrugated packaging, has developed a new liner. With a basis weight of 90 g/m², Stora Enso says that this new liner combines the softness of lightweight paper with the bulk and tear resistance of significantly higher weight paper. LumiLiner is a white, one-side coated paper that is produced at Stora Enso’s Uetersen mill, Germany. According to the company, it features outstanding flatness, excellent smoothness and good ink holdout which supports vibrant graphics in corrugated board printing in offset and flexography (post-print). Also, LumiLiner is reported to be equally suitable for pre-printing of corrugated material in both printing methods. The material also offers high opacity, contains no optical brighteners and is suitable for the production of food packaging, says Stora Enso. Another special feature, says the company, is LumiLiner’s adhesion-friendly reverse side. For more information call 00 49 4122 719 685, email
