Metsä Board Magazine – Summer 2026

Pack to the Future – ready for what’s next THE FUTURE OF PACKAGING isn’t just about materi- als: it’s about imagination and execution. At Metsä Board, our Excellence Centre is where those worlds converge – helping brands explore structural crea- tivity, optimise performance and validate sustaina- bility claims before a single package hits the shelf. It’s a space for co creation, where converters, brand owners and our experts work side-by-side to solve challenges and accelerate the time to market. This year, we are taking the next step by bring- ing this capability closer to our customers with the launch of the Metsä Packaging Design Studio in Europe. Located in one of Europe’s leading design capitals, the Milan studio provides us with a perfect setting to work even more closely with you. The studio makes it easy to connect, test ideas and move towards solutions that keep pace with the fast evolv- ing packaging landscape. At the same time, we are continuing to evolve our product solutions. The launch of Metsä Board Pro FBB Go supports your reality: products must remain available, demand peaks arrive without warning, and launches we’re continuing must land flawlessly. With fast, predictable delivery and board you can count on, we help you react quickly, secure continuity and support your brand in a fast moving market. Together, these developments
