Packaging Boards
Sales of containerboard (fluting and liner), liquid board and Cup
Stock primarily as packaging for fruit and vegetables and consumer
goods. Europe is the largest market. Demand for the business
area’s products is driven by increased demand for strong and

differentiation, the increased focus on product safety and new
patterns of consumption. Deliveries during the year amounted to
482 ktonnes (488).
