At Taffarello, we focus on resource efficiency and the reduction of environmental impact. We believe that design should combine aesthetics and functionality with a commitment to using materials that minimize waste. For this reason, we continuously research innovative materials and technical solutions to integrate into our projects and communications.
Today we are proud to present our latest novelty: the new Taffarello shopping bags made of Paperlam.
What is Paperlam?
Paperlam is an innovative material created by coupling paper with a biodegradable and compostable plastic film. This combination provides the appearance and resistance of plastic, while allowing the entire product to be recycled within the standard paper recycling stream, without the need to seperate the components.
Why did we choose Paperlam?
The choice to use Paperlam for our new shopping bags allows us to offer our customers a product with the following characteristics:
- Recyclability: Due to its compatibility with paper recycling, Paperlam helps reduce landfill waste and supports a circular economy.
- Resistant and Durability: Our shopping bags are designed for multiple reuses, resisting wear and weight.
- Design: The aesthetics of Paperlam are clean and modern, in line with the style that has always distinguished Taffarello.
We are among the first in our field to adopt this material, reflecting our goal of reducing the use of traditional plastics. When you visit our showroom, you will discover the latest design trends and can take home your purchases in a bag designed for recyclability.
White Print on Kraft paper
New trends in colours and materials are often suggested to us by our Customers or are developed thanks to the conversations with our most important distributors.
Recycled kraft paper is highly successful as a natural-base material, and we are increasingly asked to print on it using white ink. The contrast of candid white ink on natural brown material emphasizes the recycled characteristics of the paper.
Often a few simple tricks are enough to make the packaging pleasant and attractive: using white on natural brown paper results in a cost-effective product with a high-impact visual result.
Now a small technical note: the type and colour of the paper significantly influence the final colour result.
In the case of white on brown paper, the natural pigment can affect the whiteness. To achieve the best result, we apply two coats of white ink, creating a dense coverage. In some cases, through specific machine settings, we can transfer a greater amount of ink to ensure a bright, candid white effect.
