Fedrigoni Top Award 2025 winners announced

Fedrigoni has revealed the results of Fedrigoni Top Award 2025, a competition designed to celebrate design excellence and highlight the creations of those who use Fedrigoni paper and self-adhesive materials to craft unique masterpieces.  

The winners of this edition were announced on June 5 during a ceremony at the Pavillon Gabriel in Paris. Five categories: packaging, publishing, label, creative communication, and graphics applications. Additionally, students and young researchers participated by submitting projects in the Young Talents section. 

Designers, printers, publishers, brands, and young creatives from around the world had their projects evaluated by an expert jury, including Simon Esterson (publication designer), Silvana Amato (graphic designer and professor), Paul Boudens (graphic designer), Marianne Givone (head of Global Content Factory at Diptyque), Gustavo Greco (founder and creative director of Brazilian independent design firm Greco), Kate Marlow (co-founder of Here, a collective of writers and designers), Melanie Mues (founder of Mues Design studio in London), and Sebastián Yañez (co-founder of YG Branding & Design Experts Agency, now renamed Thingular Creative Partners). 

‘I want to congratulate the winners and all Top Award participants for their dedication in selecting, evaluating, and creating this incredible collection of projects. At the core of Fedrigoni’s mission is the desire to craft products that inspire brands worldwide,’ said Marco Nespolo, CEO of Fedrigoni Group. ‘The beauty and quality of the submitted projects motivate us even further and drive our constant pursuit of the perfect balance between sustainability, aesthetics, and performance.’   

In the label category, ‘Sentinella’, from the Marche-based winery La Lepre e la Luna won for its label. The bottles feature a label with simple shapes and a touch of vibrant color, enhanced by the natural texture of 100 percent cotton paper. 

Next was ‘Cline Family Cellars, The Sneak Wines’ by The Sneak (USA). Inspired by the rebellious character of winemaker Henry Cline, The Sneak is a wine that pays tribute to the courage to defy the status quo, a concept echoed in its refined and minimalist packaging design. 

Third place went to ‘Sulcus – Extra Virgin Olive Oil’ by Sulcus, a project that perfectly expresses the features and qualities of the native land of this oil, Apulia: the red letters of the name Sulcus rest on a textured label that reflects the rocky landscape and the roughness of land cultivated for generation

Fedrigoni also recognized ‘Laberinto de Cidonia’, by UNESDI (Spain), a mysterious name that ideally takes us to the surface of the planet Mars, in the Cydonia region. The labyrinth occupies almost the entire label, distinguished by a high-relief finish and surrounded by six enigmatic symbols, ranging from a face to a pyramid.
