Arena line extension and new swatch of its white papers and boards for publishing and luxury packaging follows on from the 2019 launch and 2021 rebrand by Fedrigoni
Fedrigoni, the Italian manufacturer of luxury and speciality papers, has released a new swatch of its Arena range comprising a selection of white, off-white and ivory uncoated papers and boards.
Dubbed the “Swiss army knife” of papers because of its multi-functional use, the papers are an elegant yet practical tool for packaging, print, photography and illustrations and are compatible with any printing, post-printing, binding and folding processes and techniques.
Available in four shades (Ivory, Natural, White and Extra White), three different finishes (Smooth, Rough and Bulk), 14 weights from 70 to 580 g/m2 and six sheet formats (B1 in long and short grain; B2, SRA1, and SRA3 in long and short grain), the papers in the new Arena swatch are sustainably made and using 100% FSC® certified fibres, as well as having a version made with 50% recycled fibres. The range also includes matching envelopes and a selection of HP® Indigo-optimised papers.
The new Arena swatch complements Fedrigoni’s existing range of Arena papers launched in 2019 which have all been crafted using innovative and sustainable processes that limit the use of production waste and water. The swatch follows the new branding guidelines, with the same ‘gallery of ladders’ at the back as their Sirio and Digital swatches.
Ian Braithwaite, Commercial Manager, Fedrigoni UK commented: “Arena is an excellent material for creatives of all persuasions who appreciate how texture and form can elevate artistic expression to new heights. The versatility and performance of the new range enhances creative possibilities, making it the perfect partner for all print, illustration and 3D structures.”
Arena papers have been used in a number of standout projects made in partnership with creatives and Fedrigoni, including award-winning “HappyMess” – a sketchbook celebrating the messy by-product of physical creation and the vital role artists play in archiving positive moments in life through creative expression.
It was also used for the exhibition publication for the 10th anniversary of 1-54, the first and only international art fair dedicated to contemporary art from Africa and its diaspora.
In a moment of market volatility, Fedrigoni reconfirms it’s position as a reliable manufacturer and supplier of premium papers and boards for publishing, luxury packaging and creative work, able to guarantee the continuity of projects over time.
