Papastratos, the Greek cigarette manufacturer, is the first tobacco producer world-wide to use light-weight paperboard for cigarette packaging from the board producer Enso Paperboards

The Finnish company commented that the results of stiffness tests convinced it to gradually convert to a lower gram weight when producing material for flip-top boxes.
The light board, called Enso Performa is a five layer SBS board with CTM pulp in the middle layer. Compared to ordinary SBS board, the light and tough mixture of CTM and SBS pulp in the middle layer of Enso Performa allows a reduction in the gram weight of the board while still preserving the mechanical properties and offering the same good printing qualities. According to Enso, material savings are estimated at between 10 and 20 per cent.
