Elegant and resistant, Fedrigoni's historic Imitlin range is evolving and becoming even more versatile. It promises the packaging world new embossings such as the leather effect, new colors, elegant finishes and a range of high grammages.

Imitlin is distinguished by its refined, sophisticated style. It resists scratches, fingerprints and light. It yields to elegance without sacrificing performance. Embossed and woven like a canvas, it adds a touch of class to every creation. Imitlin paper is a historic Fedrigoni benchmark. 

Now it's even more versatile. Originally conceived for its resemblance to noble materials, Imitlin is now enhanced by Diana, a new embossing reminiscent of hammered leather. The evolution of Imiltin continues with the addition of new shades: Vibrant ochre, teal green, jade green, gray stone, pink sand and ginger brown, chosen in line with the latest market trends. 

For an even more original and creative touch, Imitlin now comes in two new 130 g versions, one with a Glow finish and the other with a Metal finish: the first features a glossy surface, the second a metallic finish. 

Allpack, weights dedicated to packaging

Allpack, the new version included in Imitlin, confirms Fedrigoni's leading position in the world of luxury packaging with its 210 and 350 gram weights. Thanks to its characteristics and performance, Imitlin papers reflect the Fedrigoni Group's "plastic to paper" approach, i.e. the objective of reducing the use of plastic in packaging. 

The many variations in the range make Imitlin the ideal solution for creating complete, high-level coordinates for the packaging and publishing sectors, with multiple combinations of grammage and finish.

"Imitlin is one of Fedrigoni's most famous papers, characterized by a unique style that combines elegance and strength, explains Micaela Di Trana, Marketing and R&D Manager at Fedrigoni Paper, While its essence remains unchanged, it has become more versatile and transversal, ideal for packaging design. What's more, Imitlin allows us to create beautiful combinations with other Fedrigoni ranges, and a fine dialogue between shades and textures."

Inessens has developed a discovery box for the Anomalia brand. The box, which holds seven 2-ml bottles, is made in France in Grasse, the perfume capital of the world. 

Inessens points out that this is not just a discovery box. It was designed specifically for the Anomalia brand, printed in Grasse. Part of it is hand-made.

Offered at the Formes de Luxe prize, on the occasion of the Luxe Pack trade show, this box is made up of three parts: the first is a printed, hot-marked (gold) and embossed sheath for a very haute couture look; the second part is a cut-out, printed, hot-marked (hot gold, pearlescent gilding) and creased pouch. The third part is the wedge.

The shape of the cut-out was specially designed to accommodate the seven Anomalia bottles. Due to the small size of the pouch, gluing and assembly were done by hand.

The box is made on FSC-certified perfume card, a more environmentally-friendly paper because its long fibers intermingle, with no additives in the manufacturing process to disrupt its totally neutral side. The black ink is based on non-GMO vegetable oil. The design is minimalist, with no flat tints. An embossing tool adds animation to the background.

For the launch of its men's fragrance Myslf, Yves Saint Laurent has opted for ultra-premium refillable packaging. The Texen group was entrusted with the development of a specific cap, with its many technical and aesthetic challenges. 

Myslf Eau de Parfum, with its woody fragrance, is available in three formats with identical caps. For this product, Texen continues its long-standing collaboration with the brand, bringing its expertise in the perfume segment and eco-designed solutions. 

A turnkey creation 

This hood features a remarkably subtle design. It combines streamlined lines with light-and-shadow decorations. 

Once the body of the hood and its insert have been injected, each component is decorated and then assembled on line. The finished product is delivered pre-assembled to the brand. 

The YSL logo is engraved on the inside of the insert and on the top of the cap, both of which are perfectly aligned with the cap and the front of the bottle. 

The magic of decor 

Texen's high level of technical expertise is reflected in the aesthetics of the decors, which are based on a low-solvent HES (high-solids-extract) varnish, followed by a pad printing process on the top. This creates a bold contrast between the glossy walls and the matte top, enhanced by an elegant indentation at the corners. 

In addition, pad printing hugs the smallest contours of the letters, revealing their relief. Extremely fine grain and ultra-smooth surfaces make the technical complexity of these pieces unimaginable. 

Challenge and involvement 

From the particularly demanding injection to the decoration stages, Texen has carried out numerous tests and invested in the most advanced processes to achieve a level of quality shared with the L'Oréal development teams (parameterization and adjustment of industrial processes, decoration techniques, camera controls, etc.).
