Packaging for every purpose
The rapid growth of eCommerce is a significant driver in the increased demand for innovative and customizable packaging solutions. As a leading packaging provider, Stora Enso is at the forefront of answering customers’ increased environmental awareness and plastics replacement ambitions with fiber-based packaging. Customer expectations are evolving to leverage packaging as a tool for brand building and engaging with end-consumers, thus demanding more opportunities to customize and select the type of solution for their specific needs.
The Packaging Solutions division provides fiber-based board materials, corrugated packaging products, and services for a wide array of applications. From thousands of packaging solutions and designs, we want to make sure the client has an efficient way to select the type that answers their specific need. Our aim is to engage the customers in our design processes and bring them closer to Stora Enso. We want to use intelligent technologies to build a collaborative platform for our community of over a hundred designers, as well as hundreds of sales representatives and customers working together in 30 different countries.

Read a few of our examples below bearing in mind your solutions may go above and beyond them, or even be something completely different.
Examples
Analyzing the customer profile and their use of keywords, product images and earlier customer decisions to suggest the exact design that answers their specific need. We want to create easier access to Stora Enso’s packaging design catalog by using e.g. deep learning and search algorithms. What do you have to offer?
Transforming from 2D drawings of the designs to photorealistic, more detailed visuals for the entire packaging product line. Do you have a solution to digitally render and create the different options of packaging designs to match the customer preferences, and thus support the purchase decision?
Customers are increasingly seeing packaging as a brand-building tool. We are looking for AI-assisted design solutions where customers can select characteristics for their packaging, such as color, images, and logos with a click of a button. How would you enable AI-assisted design?
