At Luxe Pack Monaco 2026, Fedrigoni Special Papers will place color at the heart of its showcase with the launch of the revisited Sirio Color range, the centerpiece of its display in the prestigious Hall Verrière at the Grimaldi Forum.

Chromatic uniformity, sheet purity, and formation quality remain unchanged; what evolves is the focus on lightfastness, systematically improved and harmonized across the entire range, as well as a reduced carbon footprint thanks to the use of renewable energy in manufacturing. Under the slogan "Trust Your Color," this redesign celebrates the power of creativity and invites designers and brands to trust their color choices and bring their vision to life.
