The climate crisis is changing the conversation about design, print and paper. For this special edition of Pulp, we talk to eco printers, and look at case studies with environmental concerns at their core. And we interview Fedrigoni’s new head of sustainability for her perspective on this most urgent issue.

The latest edition of Pulp, Fedrigoni’s journal of people and paper, turns its attention to the paper company’s comprehensive new identity design (or branding), which can be seen on swatch books, business cards, bags, pencils and on one of Fedrigoni’s giant delivery trucks, photographed by Francesco Brembati on the streets of Verona.
The cover shows Pentagram partner Harry Pearce, whose team designed the extensive rebrand during the pandemic. The issue also looks at the background to Forma, Fedrigoni’s new corporate typeface; an innovative approach to beer labels designed to reduce waste; logos from New Zealand; and some highlights from the Fedrigoni Top Award 2021.

Pulp 20 “special digital printing” examines the contemporary panorama of digital printing. Through the report “The future is here” (edited by director John L. Walters), and in “How it works” it provides an accurate description of three different printing machines : HP Indigo, Fujifilm Jet Press, and Ricoh C7200 series. The issue features a wide range of case studies – including TM Studio’s 365 diary / calendar, the result of a digital variable data printing process – that show how designers, brands and printers use the new processes to create impactful work on highly innovative paper.
Pulp has reached its twentieth edition in seven years of publication in five languages: Italian, English, French, Spanish and German.
