Perego Carta presents Pergraphica® premium design papers at exclusive showroom in Florence

Consisting of both white and coloured design papers, the extensive Pergraphica® range of packaging and paper group Mondi is now fully listed with Italian paper merchant Perego Carta. To celebrate the occasion, Perego Carta held an exclusive opening event in cooperation with Mondi and Ricoh on 1 December 2023. The event was set to promote their new showroom in Florence, which vividly presents the Pergraphica® premium design paper range.

“In our new showroom “Paper Wonder Lab” we display a wide range of colours, grammages and printed samples. At the event, our customers were especially impressed by the sharp contrast of white ink printed with Ricoh Pro C7500 on Pergraphica® Infinite Black. Designers, creatives, printers, and anybody involved in luxury communication can now get a look and feel of the available papers and get inspired by the range and quality,” says Lorenzo Perego, General Manager at Perego Carta.

A comprehensive premium paper portfolio for the Italian market

Based in Florence, Perego Carta is an independent distributor of graphic, fine, and packaging paper and board since 1892. Marco Perego is the President of Perego Carta, and his sons Lorenzo and Vittorio are bringing in new energy. In addition to the Pergraphica® Colours portfolio listed with Perego Carta since 2022, the company has now included Pergraphica® white papers in its sales offer to customers in Italy. Pergraphica® opens new opportunities for creative designers, print producers, premium printers, publishers, and luxury packaging converters in Italy. The premium paper range is produced at the Austrian paper mill Mondi Neusiedler and available at Perego Carta in folio format with grammages of 90 to 400 g/m2.

“We just love our Pergraphica® premium design papers – and are excited that over the past 18 months distributor Perego Carta has fallen in love with Pergraphica® Colours as well”, raves Bernhard Cantzler, Marketing & Sales Director at Mondi Uncoated Fine Paper. “Including the white Pergraphica® range was the natural next step to provide a wealth of opportunities to Italian luxury packaging producers, premium printers and paper project creators throughout Italy”, he continues.

Creative ideas in full colour

Designers and creators of premium print products only get one chance to make a first impression. Outstanding product design needs to deliver a stunning look, elevated with complementary haptics. The versatile Pergraphica® range available at Perego Carta offers an abundance of possibilities to bring creative ideas to reality. Designers of premium packaging and print products can benefit from a wide choice – selecting and even combining Pergraphica® shades and surfaces to create the perfect look and feel for their clients. The white paper range comes in three different shades and two different feels – rough and smooth – while the coloured range comprises 31 colours including Infinite Black. Pergraphica® is optimised for offset and digital printing, which enables printers and designers to merge a distinctive haptic experience with high print quality. Its strong, elastic surface lends itself perfectly to special finishing techniques such as hot foiling, laser engraving and embossing.

“We are proud to be the official Italian distributor of Pergraphica® – it's a truly fantastic paper. We now stock an amazing range of white and coloured papers in different grammages in our warehouse in Florence,” says Marco Perego.
