Fedrigoni Top Award

The jury of the Fedrigoni Top Award – an international prize inspired by the desire to narrate all the ways paper can be transformed – announces the short list of winners.

Fedrigoni Top Award is an international prize – now at its ninth edition – inspired by the desire to narrate all the ways paper can be transformed and how this ductile and versatile material, thanks to the study and creativity of printers and designers, can become a book, a ticket, a game, a brochure or a package

The Fedrigoni Top Award seeks to reward inventiveness and creativity coming alive precisely with paper, by exhibiting and comparing projects from all over the world developed using Fedrigoni papers. The award is open to conventional and digital printing techniques and has five categories: Books, Corporate Publishing, Labels, Packaging and HP Indigo Digital Printing.
