Favini, a global leader in delivering innovative graphical specialties used by the distinguished players in the field of the luxury and fashion packaging sector, announces its participation at LUXE PACK, the International Fair of Luxury Packaging (Montecarlo, Monaco, 21-22-23 September 2016-VA 11 – Hall Verrière).

During this prestigious event, Favini will launch their two new graphical specialties: LUNAR and SUMO, these are ideal for both packaging and creative work with a refined style. The common theme for these new “stars” is to go beyond the classical two-dimensional paper with an effect that is closer to 3D.

LUNAR, is a metallic graphic specialty featuring a precious glow to give a minimal chic allure. In particular the light reflectance comes from the combination of metallic pigments and a surface with fine three-dimensional relief embossing. This fine micro embossing evokes the reflection of moonlight, as well as giving an ethereal elegance and that gives life to an unexpected multi-sensory experience, through touch. This enhanced effect happens without disturbance to the printed image. Thanks to the wide availability of weights and a colour palette consisting of seven delicate shades (white, black, platinum, sage, mauve, navy and silver), Lunar is perfect for luxuriating and will lend itself to many applications, from the brochure to the shopper bag , from labels to packaging, it is destined to please in the world of luxury and of fashion.

SUMO, the Favini board with a new dimension. In fact, this is the characteristic that makes it immediately recognizable as it has a thickness: from 1, 1.5, and 2 up to 3 mm. The new thick board presents you with a simple, but very effective style. Available in black and white, Sumo is ideal for incisive communication. Tags for clothing, invitations, covers, creative packaging, exclusive displays and window signs are just a few of the many uses of Sumo, the first card that will refuse to go unnoticed.

In the development of the innovative paper the technical and aesthetic aspects were treated in detail, from the shade, to the texture and last but not least was attention to its pleasant feel.
At the Favini stand, in the splendid setting of Monaco, visitors will also discover other products: Remake, the paper that contains 25% leather residues to replace the same amount of wood tree pulp, considered to be at the new frontier of creative reuse (up-cycling), now available with an embossed ‘Carapace’ effect. Crush, the ecological range of papers made from by-products of agro-industrial processes that replace up to 15% of cellulose from trees; Bindakote, the original range of cast coated papers and board; and Majestic, the metallic collection including a high quality satin and with a superb colour palette of papers and boards.

“We chose the exclusive location of Monte Carlo to present these new products that enrich our prestigious paper ranges. Lunar and Sumo are a new way to look and feel the paper, moving from two to three dimensions. The creation of these innovative materials represents a further step in the continuous process of innovation, aimed to find papers conveying a multisensory experience to the user,” says Eugenio Eger, CEO of Favini.
