Fedrigoni Self-Adhesives North America (FSA), part of The Fedrigoni Group, a global leader in the production of premium self-adhesive materials, proudly expands its collection of premium wine and spirits labeling materials with the introduction of an exclusive black paper range. Crafted with innovation and quality at its core, this range offers three distinct black materials, each meticulously designed to elevate brand identities in the competitive market landscape.
Fedrigoni’s black paper range features facestocks produced using Fedrigoni paper, pulp dyed to ensure a seamless and elegant finish. This new range promises to redefine labeling possibilities for wine and spirits brands across North America.
All three label facestocks feature FSA’s Ultra Wet Strength treatment, reducing wrinkles and creases and providing resistance to immersion in water/ice. Paired with Fedrigoni’s water-based permanent acrylic adhesive, this range of materials is ideal for application to glass in low temperatures. The darkest black stock, Black Tuxedo, has a coordinating neck label, Black Tie, down gauged paper with wet strength properties, making it ideal tight mandril applications.
Key offerings from this exclusive range include:
Tintoretto Black Pepper
Tintoretto Black Pepper presents a distinctive felt-marked texture on both sides, ensuring a uniform, pulp-dyed finish without white edges. Even if scratched, this black material does not allow any white to show through, as the pigment is added to the pulp when the paper is crafted. It boasts a refined felt marking texture, standing as the subtlest shade among the black paper stocks.
Cotone Nero
Cotone Nero not only offers a rich black color but is also a tree-free alternative fiber option for brands. Crafted from 100% cotton pulp dye, Cotone Nero has the feel of cotton and a light texture throughout. This option embodies a deeper black hue compared to Black Pepper and is the thickest choice among the black stocks. It is ideal for embossed designs as this ultra-premium facestock gives more definition when embossed than other facestocks.
Black Tuxedo and Black Tie Neck Label
Black Tuxedo is the newest addition to the black range, boasting the darkest black of the line with an intense and more saturated black color and a smooth, uncoated finish. This luxury material is free of carbon additives, unlike current papers in the market, and is an ideal choice for designs utilizing cold foil applications.
Paired with its companion neck label, Black Tie, this duo stands out as the perfect solution for products requiring a coordinating primary and neck label. The Black Tie label, designed with down-gauged substrates and a specialized adhesive, ensures a seamless application, overcoming the ‘memory effect’ that often plagues smaller circumference surfaces. Both the Black Tuxedo and Black Tie materials are available with FSC® certification.
“We’re thrilled to introduce our black paper range to the North American market,” said Melissa Harton, Marketing Manager North America. “With these premium materials, we aim to offer brands an opportunity to create labels that not only stand out but also embody elegance and quality, elevating their products in the eyes of consumers.”
Fedrigoni’s black paper range sets a new standard for elegance, versatility, and performance in the wine and spirits labeling arena.
