Introduction
Based on the characteristics of Italian recycled cotton paper products.This visual book could only have been inspired by the realm of fashion.The new Refit visualisation book is an editorial project with the meticulous craftsmanship of high-end clothing. The new Refit visualisation book is an editorial project that has been completed with the same care and attention to detail that goes into the production of high-end clothing, and Favini particularly hopes that it will inspire designers and explain the idea behind the birth of Favini Refit.
Favini Refit WoolIt has a bright surface fluff that contrasts with the darker tone of the paper.Although it is not suitable for litho printing, it gives excellent results through hot stamping, screen printing and letterpress.
Favini Refit CottonThe emotional experience of "fresh laundry" is applicable to all major printing techniques. However, it is also worth trying some non-traditional techniques.Examples are embossing or scorching!
Conceptual stage: linking the theme with Favini Refit
(The Concept Phase: The Theme and Connection with Refit)
As a paper designed for the fashion and boutique packaging industry, this visual book naturally draws from the world of fashion. The visual book, entitled Cotton Wool.The concept of "Creating a Suit" is at the centre of the concept.The collection includes a cotton shirt, a wool jumper, and a pair of jeans made from cotton and wool, the raw materials of Refit's eco-friendly paper.
In the visual book, each item of clothing is presented individually and highlighted with different printing techniques, allowing the characteristics of the paper and the printing process to be closely integrated, presenting a unique experience that is both visual and tactile.
Production stage: non-traditional techniques and fine craftsmanship
Right from the cover, we get the impression that this is a unique editorial project.
Cover made of Favini Refit - F8802 Grey CottonIt looks like a cross-generation street style "worn" denim.
It has even undergone a similar treatment:Those black marks and burrs are produced by combining embossing and black ink in the industrial laundry process.
Even the binding of Cotton Wool is designed to be reminiscent of jeans pockets.The Singer sewing process was used to complete the project.
The title of the book on the cover is in blind emboss, echoing the effect of the leather label on the back of the waistband of jeans with five pockets.
In the body pages, traditional and non-traditional craft techniques are combined. For example, a page featuringFavini Refit - F8803 Pearl Cotton The design of the tags is inspired by the industrial process of garment and trouser labelling: Cleaned and embossed firstThe word "Refit" is then hot stamped with the word "Refit" using a 420°C scalding process.
Favini's two eco-papers, Wool and Cotton, are based on the same idea: the creative reuse of textile waste. However, they exhibit different characteristics, such as differences in touch and printability.
Favini Refit Cotton performs particularly well in offset printing and we can use Favini Refit Cotton in our visual books - F8801 White Cotton 與 F8803 Pearl Cotton The excellent printing effect can be clearly seen on the printed cards.
Although Favini Refit Wool is not suitable for litho printing, hot stamping, dry embossing and screen printing can give excellent results.
Example: Sewing Needle Patterns Printed onFavini Refit Wool - F8804 Wool Black Up. Combined.Foil stamping and screen-printing, the end result is a three-dimensional, minimalist, yet powerful impact..
The six buttons are presented in three different printing techniques: hot-foil stamping, blind embossing and screen printing on theFavini Refit - F8805 Wool BlueThe texture is rich and distinctive.
The blind emboss on Favini Refit - F8804 Wool Black - reproduces the effect of embroidery on fabric. This embossing subtly interacts with the wool fibres on the surface of the paper, allowing the design to be appreciated not only by the eye, but also by touch.
