Arena
Fedrigoni has released a new swatch for its Arena range, comprising a selection of white, off white and ivory uncoated papers and boards.
The multi-functional use papers are elegant yet practical 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 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 the 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 tenth anniversary of 1-54, the first and only international art fair dedicated to contemporary art from Africa and its diaspora.
