"It’s inspiring to see how collaboration between experts from different fields can create exceptional experiences for our customers and consumers — all while staying true to the principles of the circular economy that are so im- portant to us at LUMENE,” says Essi Arola, Sustainability & Packaging Director at LUMENE. Roberts Vasilevskis, General Director of VG Kvadra Pak JSC, Riga, adds, “Because packaging should do more than protect — it should inspire. Working closely with LUMENE and Metsä Board, we brought the Nordic experience to life through creativity, sustainability, and functionality. It shows the power of collaboration in turning a vision into reality.” The calendar is made from MetsäBoard Prime FBB Bright and MetsäBoard Pro FBB Bright folding boxboards, which are manufactured from renewable wood fibers and are easily recyclable. The excellent surface smoothness and high brightness of the board ensure that the winter landscape looks stunning on the outer packaging of the calendar as well as on the protective sleeve. “By combining deep material knowledge with convert- ing efficiency, we can create packaging solutions that are both functional and visually impactful. The multi-dimen- sional structure and Nordic aesthetics of LUMENE’s calen- dar deliver a rich consumer experience – while remaining easy to manufacture,” says Iiro Numminen, Packaging De- signer at Metsä Board.
