The leader in innovative, lightweight folding boxboard

Our lightweight and strong folding boxboards are recyclable and offer high performance. The range includes lightweight paperboards with a natural look and feel as well as coated paperboards for premium image reproduction and luxury appearance.

Lightweight without compromising performance

Metsä Board's folding boxboards offer high yield, excellent printability and superior safety for a wide variety of packaging applications. The functional properties of our lightweight products are the same or better than heavier grades, making it possible to create sustainable packaging without compromising on performance.

Ensured safety for branded products

Whether you’re packaging sensitive products like food or pharmaceuticals, or looking for a way to enhance your brand’s impact in stores or online, we have the perfect paperboard for you.  

Fresh fibres supporting circular economy

Our folding boxboards, like all our paperboards, are made from renewable pure, fresh fibres that can be fully traced back to their source in sustainably managed Northern European forests. Our folding boxboards are recyclable and/or industrially compostable, supporting the circular economy.
