Fedrigoni Announces Brand Protection Portfolio

Fedrigoni Group, a leader in the production of value-added speciality papers for luxury packaging and other applications, along-with self-adhesive materials for premium labels, has introduced a range of paper products and self-adhesive materials for brand protection in the commercial sector.

As part of this new offering, the company signed a contract in February 2023 for a manufacturing collaboration with a specialist paper mill in China that produces transparent papers. The deal strengthens its presence in Asia, where it already has an extensive distribution network in China, Hong Kong, Philippines, Indonesia, and Bangladesh.

Secondly, it acquired a dedicated research and development centre in France from Arjowiggins, which allows it to boost its product innovation roadmap in RFID, printed electronics, and advanced research on paper substrates. In addition, the company purchased Tageos, a French business specialising in designing and manufacturing RFID inserts and tags for self-adhesive labels.

Fedrigoni’s anti-counterfeiting portfolio covers all requirements for the creation of seals on self-adhesive materials and tamper-evident packaging. These include voids, which are customisable film products that transfer a design or text to the substrate when removed from the item and can no longer be repositioned; ultra-destructible materials, which break irreparably if an attempt is made to remove them after application; labels printed on delaminating materials, which are destroyed by delamination when removed; and holographic materials, which can be customised with different levels of security features.

Also available are tamper-evident solutions specifically designed to prevent the cardboard on which the seal is applied from ripping if an attempt is made to open the packaging, or security papers embedded with fibres, confetti and other special pigments.

According to Michele De Pascalis, Product Manager for Security Goods, ‘we are responding to a rising and pervasive demand for authenticity protection in the commercial sector by offering this line, which was created in collaboration with the Paper and Self-Adhesives divisions. Fedrigoni is dedicated to combating a problem that harms brands, consumers, and the entire economy’.
