1st PRIZE TO “LUXURY BAGS”

 “Luxury bags” wins 1st prize at the Luxury Packaging Awards 2018 – London

Our exclusive collection of wearable shopping bags (patent pending) impressed the international jury of the fifth “Luxury Packaging Award”, organised by Packaging News, at Luxury Packaging and Packaging Innovation in London.

[Overall a very premium & luxurious, high end retail offer]

On September 12th 2018, at the awards ceremony at Grosvenor House, in the heart of Mayfair, London, we had the honour and pleasure of winning a joint first prize with Gruppo Cordenons.
We wanted to have a paper that called to mind the softness, the finish, the strength and elegance of the most precious leather. So, we selected Leather-like paper, in the Classic and Minimal embossed finishes, perfect for the black version of our range.

Finely designed and embellished down to the tiniest detail, the style was displayed in both the cross-body and in the backpack versions, without the side gussets and with a handy fastening; available in different sizes and customisable to suit any brand’s style and image. www.packagingnews.co.uk

GRAFICA VALDARNO INSERT IN “PRINT BUYER”
EDITION FOR LUXE PACK MONACO 2013

Grafica Valdarno’s creative supplement to the magazine “Print Buyer”, distributed at the Luxe Pack Monaco, the yearly fair of luxury packaging materials, is a tradition by now.
After the three “Jewels of printing”, in 2013 it was the turn of “Stylishly Printed_Fashion”, a technical-creative experiment inspired by timeless elegance, beauty and style. A charming lady wearing only pearls, her hair softly done up, seduces our eyes with a metallic-finish four-colour print that changes depending on the way the light falls on it. Grafica Valdarno’s style stands out in its pursuit of tactile as well as visual effects, which here are provided by an elegant black flocky lace

“ROBOT” COVER
GRAFICA VALDARNO PRINTS THE 12rd COVER OF “DIGITALIC” MAGAZINE
Grafica Valdarno continues its partnership with “Digitalic - Tecnologie e protagonisti dell’ICT” in their “challenge-adventure” of creating unique covers by experimenting with different papers, printing and finishing solutions for an impressive communication – through the feel and visual sensations conveyed by the technique applied to the idea – of the leitmotif of the inside pages.
For its issue no. 12, Digitalic – that has always believed in the numberless potentials of paper and on such belief has built its plans targeted to innovation-producing and -distributing companies – has teamed up once again with Grafica Valdarno as its technical partner to reproduce on the cover (a 15,000 run) a metal robot that eats up and digests “Digitalic”, turning it into bits and data: an amusing, amused portrait of the idea that, far from disappearing, paper may find a new digital dimension in any application.
