Fedrigoni Special Papers: Sirio Color debuts at Luxe Pack Monaco
Wednesday 23. September 2026 - At Luxe Pack Monaco 2026, Fedrigoni Special Papers will put colour at the heart of its presence with the launch of the revamped Sirio Color, the hero of the companys showcase, in the prestigious Hall Verrire of the Grimaldi Forum. This historic uncoated range, appreciated since the 1960s for its deep, brilliant shades, now welcomes fifteen new colours - 42 in total, 19 of which are also available in a rough finish.
Chromatic uniformity, sheet cleanliness and formation quality remain unchanged; what evolves is the focus on lightfastness, consistently enhanced and harmonised across the range, together with a lower carbon footprint thanks to the use of renewable energy in manufacturing. Under the claim “Trust Your Color”, the relaunch celebrates creative confidence and invites designers and brands to trust their colour choices and bring their vision to life.
Born in the 1960s and loved ever since for its ability to easily respond to moods, trends and branding requirements for several applications, Sirio Color stands out for its deep, intense colours delivering visual depth and character. With the revamp, the range welcomes 15 new shades, expanding the overall palette to 42. New entries such as Vivid Red, Oasis Green and Moonrise Blue have been developed with the evolving needs of the packaging world in mind, offering brands and designers an even broader palette to express identities, occasions and cultural nuances through colour.
The rough version also extends from 11 to 19 shades, tapping into the market’s growing demand for tactile, textured substrates. Alongside Sirio Color and Sirio Color Rough, the series includes Sirio White/White and Sirio Ultra Black, the latter made without carbon black pigments, like all the blacks of the range, and renowned for its depth and lightfastness.
“Sirio Color has always been about much more than colour: it is about giving designers and brands the freedom and confidence to express their creative vision”, comments Céline Bertuzzi, Marketing Director, Fedrigoni Special Papers. “With this relaunch, we are taking one of the most distinctive ranges in our portfolio into a new chapter. This is the idea behind Trust your color: choose the colour that best expresses your vision, and trust Sirio Color to bring it to life”.
Among Sirio Color’s defining features has always been the use of selected fibres which guarantee long-term stability, sheet cleanliness and formation quality. Lightfastness – the ability to resist fading over time – equally depends on fibres and the careful choice of dyes and pigments. Ahead of the relaunch, lightfastness has been improved and made more consistent across the entire range, alongside a meaningful step forward in sustainability. Sirio is now manufactured with renewable energy: certified biomethane replacing fossil natural gas, and electricity coming from renewable sources. This contributes to a significantly lower cradle-to-gate carbon footprint, the reduced impact being measurable and transparent thanks to dedicated Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data, allowing customers to quantify and communicate the real environmental impact of their projects.
Visitors to Fedrigoni’s Luxe Pack Monaco stand will be invited to explore Sirio through a new lense and a dedicated paper experience – a new release swatchbook, and a visual booklet reminiscent of Sirio’s Italian heritage and long-treasured tradition of colour expression.
