#FaviniTextures – Gloss-coated papers ✨
Favini’s gloss-coated papers – such as Bindakote, Bindakote Colours and Astralux – share one key feature: a smooth, glossy surface designed to enhance print performance and visual impact.
This effect is achieved through the coating process, where a layer made of mineral pigments, binders and specific additives is applied to the paper surface, creating a uniform, compact and highly reflective finish.
What makes gloss-coated great?
• A smooth and even surface, ensuring optimal ink distribution
• High colour brilliance and sharpness
• Lower ink absorption, resulting in reduced ink consumption and faster drying
• Improved resistance to scratches and abrasion
Think about a gloss-coated paper for your next catalogue, brochure, corporate print project or business card, or wherever you need premium image quality and visual impact.

Alga Carta, Crush, Remake, Refit, Shiro Echo, Sparto and Tree Free make up the Paper From Our Echosystem universe.
Favini’s most innovative and eco-conscious papers share a common ethos while exploring different materials.
Some use alternatives to traditional cellulose, like Sparto.
Others make use of agro-industrial refuse, like Crush.
Others give new life to textile off-cuts and waste, like Refit.
What they share is a strong focus on reducing water and energy consumption, as well as emissions.
Discover all their features on our website.
SPOILER: At Packaging Première Milano we will be unveiling an important new addition to this range.
Any ideas what it could be?!

Never judge a product by its packaging… Or maybe you should?
In an overstimulating world, where the barrage of new forms of information is constant, we are rediscovering ways of capturing attention and staying memorable.
One of these is packaging. Packaging that isn’t just beautiful, but memorable.
That tells the story of the product before it’s even opened.
For Il Centralino’s Torta Modena – a cake from Emilia, Italy, of chocolate, coffee and dried fruit – @studiobabai selected #CrushFavini Coffee: a paper that evokes taste and aroma from the outside, turning the receiving and unwrapping experience into something truly sensory.

Hello, May!
We’re welcoming the new month with a work by @marko_skrbic from the Posterheroes 2026 Calendar.
“Blade of Empathy” was printed on 250 gsm Sparto Cloud paper using white UV and CMYK inks, with a silver hot foil finish.
The poster contrasts two symbols – a knife and a feather – set against dark, grey tones.
The message is clear: violence stops where empathy begins.
The work reflects contemporary reality through a direct visual language.
Marko’s artwork received the Favini Mention in the 2025 edition.
In the carousel, you can find his thoughts about the kind of reflection he hopes to inspire.
What does this artwork convey to you?
Do you feel it?
For the graphic designer, paper is not just a support: it is seen, touched and felt. Its texture conveys aesthetic and material values to the end user.
For these projects, @wearechilli chose #RemakeFavini Carapace in Smoke, Sand and Midnight.
''Favini Remake Carapace was carefully selected to reflect our design intent. Its subtle texture and character reinforced the natural and tactile look we aimed for.”
Carapace’s distinctive embossing enhances every detail, creating a surface as pleasing to the eye as it is to the touch.

FaviniTextures – Metallic papers are not just shiny surfaces
Metallic papers don’t just reflect light – they transform it, creating depth, movement and visual effects that shift depending on angle and lighting.
We created #MajesticFavini, for example, to deliver visual impact even without printing, and to become the design itself.
Its distinctive shimmer is created using a liquid coating enriched with pigments (not varnish), to reflect and diffuse light, producing luminous and dynamic surfaces.
Use metallic papers:
• to deliver an instant, sophisticated visual impact
• to make the material itself is part of the design
• where light interaction can speak about brand or content
• for invitations and premium stationery
• for corporate literature

Not an ordinary wedding invitation: a game, a story you can touch.
@coseacasodesign turned this set of wedding stationery into something interactive and immersive…. with #ShiroEchoFavini and #CrushFavini papers becoming part of the project – textures, colours and materials that help bring the creative idea to life.
“We use Favini papers in many of our projects,” say the design team, “because they meet our needs for quality, colour and sustainability. In this case, they added real value to all the printed materials.”
When the paper is more than just a medium – it’s part of the design.
What do you start with, the idea or the paper?

@collaninecolorate × Favini: a collaboration shaped by Prisma’s colours ✨
For the launch of the new #PrismaFavini shades, we brought to life a special project: piece of jewellery inspired by the 2026 novelties, designed to be worn as a bag charm or used as a keyring.
Collanine Colorate translated Prisma’s colours into materials and forms, selecting natural beads that interact with the packaging and shopper created in the same tones. The result is an object that invites touch, observation and experience — just like the paper that inspired it.
This accessory tells the latest chapter of Prisma while preserving the legacy of a paper designed to engage both sight and touch. Its felt-marked texture is the defining feature, making it ideal for packaging, shoppers and printed materials.
Produced in limited quantities, the project becomes a small collectible piece.
Special thanks to @centrodigitale for their support in the development of the packaging.
