Premier, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of graphical and carton board material, are celebrating six decades of Stora Enso’s excellent Ensocoat brand of graphical and packaging boards.




Ensocoat was first produced sixty 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’s this structure that allows Ensocoat to withstand the most demanding finishing processes. Ensocoat delivers an unbeatable, 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.

Chris Bosworth, Sales Director of Premier’s Board division comments “Congratulations to all our friends at Stora Enso, on 60 years with a market leading brand. 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.”




The packaging you create epitomises your brand, and with Ensocoat by Stora Enso, presenting an outstanding product is effortless. For graphical end uses, Ensocoat comes with an EU Ecolabel Certificate option, showing that it fulfils the European Commission’s sustainability criteria for graphic paper. An increasing number of leading cosmetic and luxury brands are choosing Ensocoat for their packaging to meet their highest quality requirements.
