Arconvert Presents Avec Plaisir – Pt. 1 - Constellation Jade Raster and Sirio Pearl Ice WhiteA celebration of ManterTM brand’s 75-years long history with the Arconvert’s papers that have revolutionized the labeling for high-end products over the last decade.
This is Avec Plaisir.
The ten face-stocks of this unique collection were born to be the support of the wildest creativity and designed to suit the most complex printing techniques. Counting on the precious collaboration of the studio of Joan Josep Bertran, who explored sensorial stimuli in their playful dimension and turned hearing, sight, taste and touch into narrative tools that boosted the creative possibilities of our face-stocks. This collection highlights the versatility, expressiveness and technical potential of the self-adhesive papers most appreciated by designers and printers over the last ten years.
This first article dedicated to this historic collection presents two of the finest papers with a pearlescent effect, Constellation Jade Raster and Sirio Pearl Ice White. Combined with the Ultra WSTM treatment, which acts as a barrier ensuring greater adaptability and stability of the label on the bottle, these papers are the perfect fit for white wines, sparkling and rosé.
Constellation Jade Raster is a self-adhesive paper that, thanks to its special embossed finish, emanates a very special shine and reflects different shades depending on the light inclination. Since ever, it is the favorite choice of the most renowned Champagne producers.
The incredible label produced by JJ Bertran throws us back to the chocolate world of Willy Wonka with a golden ticket, an access to our most incredible dreams, the beginning of a journey into the fantasy dimension. A reminder to never in life become a boring barcode.
Sirio Pearl Ice White is a self-adhesive paper with a special metallic and pearlescent finish that produces sparkling reflections recalling those of precious stones and making the label elegant and sophisticated even without adding many printing finishes. Within the Sirio Pearl range, Ice White stands out for its ice white nuance.
For this label the designer took inspiration from ancient legends of a lost civilization, the Utumbe. There, a mysterious individual controlled time. Day and night, the moon and sun. Conscious of his power, he decided to disappear and erase all traces of himself and that of his people from human memory and to only exist in some abstract dreamlike state. There, time slows down or even stops by his swinging of an enormous hourglass back and forth. Some see traces of this myth in the story of the Scandinavian character, Mr. Sandman who sprinkles magical dust into sleeping children's eyes.
