In recent years the trend in wine labels has focussed less on aesthetics and more on researching the use of simple, textured materials; the texture has not been important in itself but seen more in terms of its unique technical properties for the printing process.'LUCE' is Ritrama's response to the need for an aesthetically pleasing label. The latest addition to the Ritrama family of special papers for wine labels and part of the 'wine & spirits' collection, 'LUCE', was launched officially one year ago and has proven a most innovative product, making it one of the biggest successes of recent years. 'LUCE' is a white natural paper, opaque and quite thick. It has a texture that feels a little rough and is made from virgin cellulose and synthetic fibres. How does it differ from other natural papers? The real particularity of 'LUCE' is the watermark effect produced when it is hot printed.
Industry experts know how complex it is to produce traditional watermarked paper. It is a very intricate and expensive process requiring huge purchase volumes. With 'LUCE', however, you can produce even very complex watermark images without inks or foil simply by applying pressure with the printing group normally used for hot lamination. This method of printing with 'LUCE' gives printers the possibility of adding a personalised watermark effect even to small runs of material, with significant time and cost savings compared to the traditional technique.
'LUCE' is particularly suited to labelling white and rosé wines with the play of light and transparency optimising the special attributes of the materials. 'LUCE' is available to order in the standard and barrier versions.
