Fedrigoni Top Award is back

The Fedrigoni Top Award 2022, in its 13th edition, is expected to attract as many designers, printers, publishers, brand owners and end customers as previous editions. Over 1,100 designs from 32 countries, presented by more than 600 operators in the sector, attended the previous edition, which ended in July with the announcement of 18 winners and an exhibition of the 50 most exciting designs displayed at the ADI Museum in Milan and included in a prestigious international catalog.

Once again, the designs will be evaluated by an international jury composed of a panel of well-known experts from the world of design and communication, who will take part in talks and round tables at the award ceremony in Paris. 

New for this year is the spotlight on sustainability. Together with graphic originality, functionality, degree of innovation, the accuracy of execution, and appropriate use of materials, the jury will also have to consider the project's sustainability, taking into account its entire life cycle and the quality of communication of its green credentials to the consumer. 

There will be five categories: publishing dedicated to Gianfranco Fedrigoni, which includes volumes, magazines, art editions; corporate communication that stretches from product and service catalogs to coordinated graphics; labels for wines, spirits, high-end food products; packaging, which includes boxes, gift cases, shopping bags, counter displays, and coated containers; and the new category, large format communication.

‘Pride taken in a job well done is the constant feature we find in all the designs we receive, whether it’s a small book for private circulation, a label for wine or a gourmet preserve, a cosmetics holder, a shopper bag, or a box for tea,’ commented Chiara Medioli, chief sustainability and communication officer of the Fedrigoni Group. ‘We celebrate the commitment, the design and the expressiveness in using Fedrigoni self-adhesive papers and materials. 

‘Year after year, the award is an opportunity to merge creativity and experimentation, culture and technology, highlighting excellence and confirming the role of paper and labels as a design tool, starting with the ever-increasing sustainability needs of packaging. The hundreds of high-quality designs that arrive from all over the world allow us to take stock of the state of art today, but also to understand what direction we are taking and how to contribute to the change. At Fedrigoni, we also want to do our part by supporting all our customers in improving and elevating their brands, just as our Elevating Creativity mission states.’
