Paperboard manufacturer Stora Enso has invested in new packaging software from Esko.

“ArtiosCAD Enterprise allows all authorized parties involved in the design of a product to access up-to-the minute information and share their input in real time for more efficient approvals and faster time to market,” said Andis Skujenieks, Baltics sales and marketing manager for Stora Enso Packaging. “As a result, we can handle a greater number of jobs and complete them more cost efficiently.”

ArtiosCAD Enterprise, supplied by Esko dealer BZG Solutions, has been installed at Stora Enso’s sheet converting plants in Riga, Latvia; Tallin, Estonia; and Kaunas in Lithuania.

Esko is a specialist in software for packaging.

Peter Ogden, Esko’s business development manager – structural design and key account manager, explained: “The overriding benefit of ArtiosCAD Enterprise is its ability to enable faster sharing of information that reduces errors, hastens the approval process and significantly reduces lead times.

“Before Stora Enso Packaging made the investment in ArtiosCAD Enterprise, each job would go through a linear approval process with every stakeholder. This potentially added weeks to the time from concept to completion. Now everyone involved can access the project immediately. They can even invite other interested and authorized parties such as graphic suppliers or diemakers to benefit from their expertise. Each and every action in the system, including the viewing of files or other assets, is recorded for the ultimate in reportability.”
