From covering papers to covering cloths: everything you need to know about high-end packaging<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In luxury packaging, the material is not just a technical component but an integral part of the product experience. Have you ever wondered how a simple box can influence the perception and value of its contents? Choosing the material therefore becomes strategic: it enhances the product and strengthens the brand’s positioning. A fragrance box, for example, will call for sensory materials such as soft-touch papers or velvety finishes, while a presentation box for the fashion sector may rely on textured cloths or embossed papers. Working with a specialist supplier of covering materials helps you find your way among technical, aesthetic and sustainable solutions. In this guide we look at the main materials for developing luxury packaging and how to choose them.<\/p>\n

\"covering<\/p>\n

Which covering materials should you use for premium packaging?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Once the structure has been defined, the covering becomes the real star: this is where the packaging takes shape and communicates identity. The choice of materials should always be considered together with printing and finishing techniques, to achieve a quality result and meet customer expectations in the luxury market.<\/p>\n

Covering papers<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Papers offer endless possibilities in terms of grammage and embossing. Lighter grammages, generally between 90 and 120 g\/m\u00b2, are ideal for covering, while heavier ones are used for shopping bags, soft covers and boxes. Depending on the desired effect, you can choose from a variety of certified and sustainable solutions:<\/p>\n

– Papers with high scratch and wear resistance: designed for high-end projects, they combine durability and elegance, keeping an impeccable appearance over time, like the Elefante<\/a><\/em> line.<\/p>\n

– Embossed papers: they add depth and character to packaging thanks to their tactile effect. The Efalin<\/a><\/em> collections offer a variety of textures, from more uniform surfaces to more pronounced embossing, for high-quality visual results. Learn more about the applications and technical features of Efalin paper for quality bookbinding and paper converting in this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n

– Coloured papers: perfect for creative projects in which colour becomes the key element of the brand, like Olin<\/a><\/em> covering papers.<\/p>\n

Covering cloths<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Cloths differ in composition, weave and finish, elements that directly affect the performance and look of the packaging. The choice of cloth depends on:<\/p>\n

– Material: cotton cloths, such as the ST Series<\/a> <\/em>or the IR Series<\/a><\/em>, are suitable for hot foil stamping, blind embossing, screen printing and UV offset. Recycled dyed polyester, such as the FR Series<\/a><\/em>, adds UV and inkjet technologies to traditional printing techniques. Rayon-based cloths, such as Buldan Canvas<\/a><\/em>, stand out for their refined surface and excellent results even with digital printing.<\/p>\n

– Weave and surface: the number of threads per centimetre defines the density of the material. Tighter weaves, such as that of the Luxury<\/a><\/em> cloth, offer a compact, elegant effect, while more visible weaves enhance the tactile effect. Some surfaces, such as that of the Print<\/a><\/em> cloth, are designed for printing and ensure excellent adhesion and results in offset.<\/p>\n

– Finishes: they help define the brand’s positioning. For example, cloths from the Natural Series<\/a> are ideal for projects with a craft aesthetic, while the Special Series<\/a><\/em> includes different types of cloth from several families, featuring sophisticated effects for those seeking a result with strong visual impact.<\/p>\n

Flocked covering materials<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Quality coverings with a velvety surface, ideal for packaging where aesthetics convey exclusivity. Our flocked materials are available in a wide range of colours. They are typically used inside jewellery boxes and are particularly valued on the market because they are the flocked materials that attract the least dust. The choice is based on:<\/p>\n

– Material: solutions such as the Dainel<\/a><\/em> collection guarantee an extremely soft, deep finish that conveys refinement and elegance.<\/p>\n

– Experience: luxury is associated with creativity, distinction and pleasure. Materials such as the Lynel<\/a><\/em> collection combine a velvety effect with embossing that is pleasant to the touch, enhancing the unboxing moment and the perceived value of the product.<\/p>\n

– Application: high-resistance velvety coverings, such as the Patina<\/a><\/em> line, are ideal for packaging that requires a combination of aesthetics, attention to detail and durability.<\/p>\n

Coated covering materials<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Perfect for luxury packaging with a contemporary design and a distinctive look. The choice is mainly based on:<\/p>\n

– Material and embossing: PVC substrates such as the Buckplast<\/a><\/em> series guarantee solidity and resistance to scratches, stains and wear, with smooth, linen-textured, clouded or metallic finishes. The Novaflex<\/a><\/em> collections, on the other hand, are an alternative to PVC, with coverings that achieve a leather-look, glossy or textured effect. Both families are certified and are the ideal solution for creating sustainable luxury packaging.<\/p>\n

The combination of brand and covering makes it possible to create distinctive solutions that convey quality and attention to detail, evoke emotions and tell a story.
