Deep, dark, sensual; our superior new solid board surpasses all expectations. The attention to detail, the sharp edge finesse and the tantalisingly tactile texture makes this our most popular luxury board.

Luxury packaging exudes care and dedication.

It caresses the eye and invites to touch.

Packaging with an alluring design is the introduction of a top-quality product.

The material for such packaging has to comply with those characteristics.

Eska®black is deep-black and was developed for the luxury packaging industry.

It pushes boundaries and was developed without concessions.
