The first company to commercialize Stora Enso's new DeLight fiber-based solution to store shelves is Atria, a food maker in Finland. This new package concept is based on a technical innovation in package converting that makes it possible to introduce new shapes and user-friendly functions into fiber-based packaging. The key lies in a strengthened rim, which ensures that even the most challenging forms hold together and are effectively sealed. According to Stora Enso, the DeLight technology also delivers excellent printability, better tactile properties, and sustainable packaging benefits. Compared with more traditional packaging materials such as aluminum and CPET, DeLight is light-weight, recyclable, and user friendly. DeLight is oven-proof and microwaveable, and it can be frozen. The package is suitable for Modified Atmosphere Packaging and has good light barrier properties.
