From September 29 to October 1 at Fedrigoni’s new stand a larger space for an even more immersive creative experience. Among the featured solutions: the Out of the Box – Beyond and Materia Viva Roots collections.
Giving new life to production waste, increasing its value, and creating a virtuous cycle. According to a study by Bain & Company in collaboration with Fedrigoni Group, half of the leaders in luxury packaging expect sustainable solutions to make up over 30% of sales within three years — pointing to a major shift in materials, design, and digital engagement.
For Luxe Pack 2025 Fedrigoni puts alternative materials in the spotlight, perfectly in line with this trend. The use of these resources is showcased at its best in Out of the Box – Beyond, the complete collection of papers for the luxury world that goes beyond traditional materials, offering new possibilities in a circular economy perspective. Out of the Box – Beyond moves beyond cellulose, embracing in particular wide variety of by-products from industrial processes that both reduce the use of virgin fibres and create papers with unique characteristics.
The collection includes a wide range of papers made from industrial by-products, products with alternative fibres and a section for Bespoke solutions.
Industrial by-products are secondary raw materials that can be reused, thanks to their specific features which make them ready for further applications. We can find papers with cotton linters, recycled textile, recycled cotton, recycled bagasse and mineral pigments.
An additional piece of the offering is dedicated to alternative fibres, such as hemp. Compared to traditional ones, these annual fibres reduce the amount of soil needed to produce the same quantity of cellulose, thanks to the rapid plant growth rate.
And there’s also a special section for Bespoke solutions – custom projects tailored to clients’ needs. These include papers made with miscanthus, grass, wool, or cocoa bean shells –products often supplied by the brands themselves to create exclusive papers, with unique finishes and textures. Each bespoke development enhances brand identity, combines luxury with responsibility, and gives materials a second life.
The Beyond concept is fully embodied in Terrae, a paper made with recycled fibres and coloured with naturally sourced mineral pigments. It reflects a new way of thinking about materials – one that values origin, circularity, and respect for the planet. Terrae is available in three colours: Desert Sand, a warm ochre shade derived from clay extraction in Burgundy; Light Umber, sourced from fertile soil extracted seasonally to allow the land to regenerate; Iron Grey, which draws its depth from a black pigment recovered as a by-product of coal processing in Germany.
Visitors will also discover Bagassa, a new paper made from the residual fibers of sugarcane processing. Recovering the remaining fiber after the pressing stage significantly reduces waste. But that’s not all: clearly visible on the paper’s surface, the fiber itself becomes a true distinctive feature.
All materials are carefully selected to ensure transparency and a truly circular process, aligned with brands’ sustainability goals. In this context, special attention is given to papers made with cotton linters – short fibres that remain attached to the cotton seed after ginning. Too fine for textiles, they are ideal for papermaking. The sourcing of linters is rigorously controlled to ensure they come from responsible supply chains.
Out of the Box – Beyond also include a set of 16 inspirational printed samples, one for each paper range featured in the collection, allowing visitors to experience the performance of the products firsthand.
Another main character at the Fedrigoni stand is Materia Viva Roots, a collection made with recycled fibres that includes 9 families, 21 paper types, 61 shades, and endless creative possibilities. It’s an invitation to design in new and sustainable ways, without compromising on aesthetic value.
