The boxes come in decreasing sizes placed one inside the other in a style similar to that of a Russian nesting doll.

Every other month has been individually die-cut and each one has been litho printed with metallic silver ink on a Komori B2 press and hand finished with an envelope fold base.

The Sirio Color paper range is available in 24 colours, nine weights and two embossing effects, and can be used for a variety of luxury design applications. It is also elemental chlorine free.

The calendars have been designed by Cornwall University graduate Paul Betowski as part of a creative brief set by Fedrigoni UK for the Young Creative Network Student awards.

In conjunction with the launch, Fedrigoni UK is holding a Golden Box contest. Customers that find a golden box inside one of the Fedrigoni 2011 calendars are in with the chance of winning a 16GB Apple iPad.
