May 9, 2023 (press release) –

Favini, the Italian paper mill with a constant vocation for eco-innovation, presents the new paper Mirage with a mirror surface, developed with bio-based raw materials.

There is increasing emphasis on the scarcity of resources and, thanks to a Favini R&D project, a new paper has been developed which presents itself as a more ecological alternative in its category.

The mirror effect of Mirage is available in 7 colours and is obtained by combining a biodegradable and bio-based bioplastic film with an uncoated pulp-coloured board. The result is a range of FSC™ certified boards in 400 g/m2, and also in 120 g/m2 for the silver option.

Mirage is a paper designed for high-end packaging, as well as for invitations and other printed matter that need to amaze and stand out.

All of Favini’s communication – from its dedicated website, its social media campaign, including the visual booklet that combines print with storytelling – plays on an original interpretation of Alice in Wonderland and its sequel Alice through the Looking Glass, specifically to highlight the key feature of Mirage, namely its mirrored surface.
