Materica now has four new shades and is available in a total of 14 warm shades, all from 120gsm to 360gsm. Fedrigoni said the distinct bulkiness of the range inspired the name, as Materica is Italian for the English word ‘material’.
The pulp-coloured paper and boards are made with a blend of 25% recycled materials, 25% pure virgin fibres, 10% cotton fibres, 40% CTMP fibres, all FSC certified.
“The earthy, rustic Mediterranean colours are reflected in the rough texture given by the cotton fibres providing a rich tactile and visual experience, and created to give an elevated feel to both premium packaging and book covers because of its print definition and foldability,” Fedrigoni commented.
Woodstock, expanded with a new grammage suitable for folding boxes, is a range of uncoated papers and boards made with 80% recycled waste fibres and 20% FSC certified virgin fibres.
This collection is available in pulp-coloured, soft pastel shades, and is smooth to the touch with “a unique retro and nostalgic feel”.
Fedrigoni UK commercial manager Ian Braithwaite said: “Materica and Woodstock have become iconic ranges from Fedrigoni, and we wanted to create greater features for our customers to choose from.
“Each range offers unique attributes which can be applied across various forms including packaging, menus and books.
“As we move towards a greener future we’re proud that our premium ranges are embracing both virgin and recycled fibres, helping to ensure Fedrigoni remains committed to our efforts and remain experts in the print and paper industry without compromising on our environmental values.”
New swatches for both ranges are available now from Fedrigoni.
