Italian papermaker Fedrigoni has created Colour Dimensions, a new tool for presenting its product range, into five aesthetic categories, its entire portfolio of premium colored papers.
Previewed at Luxe Pack, held in Monaco on September 30, October 1 and 2, 2024, Colour Dimensions brings together, for the first time, all Fedrigoni's premium colored papers in a creative presentation medium.
The special feature of this guide is its CMF (Colour, Material, Finish), widely used by designers.
The paper samples are divided into five booklets based on color, material and finish. Smooth Colour features 54 papers in bright, luminous hues; Reflective Shimmer brings together 33 glamorous colors and more sophisticated shades, with pearlescent finishes and metallic tones; Circular Colour's 39 references are papers made from recycled fibers in line with the principles of the circular economy; Textured Colour features 52 natural shades with a strong tactile impact, reminiscent of the colors of the earth; Full Blacks is a collection dedicated to shades of black, with 15 different variations.
The Compass, a guide designed to help navigate the color system and use the CMF approach when choosing paper, with useful information and creative ideas, completes the five booklets that make up the collection.
"Colour Dimensions brings a totally innovative and revolutionary approach to the world of packaging and creativity in the luxury market, says Céline Bertuzzi, marketing director of Fedrigoni Special Papers. At Fedrigoni, we're convinced that elevating creativity doesn't just mean providing innovative, high-quality materials, but above all new approaches and new points of view on the world of design and imagination. We therefore invite the world of creativity and design to discover this new way of approaching the world of colors, materials and finishes."
Overcycling
Another new product presented at Luxe Pack is an extension of Fedrigoni's Re-Play range, which transforms waste into high-end labels.
Tinteretto, the papermaker's flagship paper range, is now available as a Re-Play label, incorporating 15 % of glassine, which is difficult to recycle due to the 2% of silicone it contains.
Glassine is the siliconized backing removed and discarded during the application phase of self-adhesive labels. With Fedrigoni, it goes from being a waste product to a component of the new label. Recovered from end-users, it returns to the production process for the manufacture of new premium labels.
