Créanog pushes the limits of paper deformation

Créanog pushes the limits of paper deformation
With its workshops located in central Paris, Créanog combines the creativity of its GRAPHIC CREATION studio, the innovation of the ENGRAVING LABORATORY, and the expertise of the MANUFACTURING OFFICE with the exceptional expertise of its EMBOSSING & HOT STAMPING WORKSHOP.
Créanog is a Living Heritage Company which provides custom solutions for your communication projects while constantly searching for innovation in favour of a demanding and sustainable luxury: invitations, brochures, packaging, blotters… Now master in paper transformation, Créanog extends its expertise to other applications (POS, engraved decoration, art print, relief engraving, tactile book, etc.).
At the 2021 show, CREANOG presented embossed decorations on a bevelled box. This latest innovation aroused great interest because it opened up the possibility of an all-over embossed decoration on a cardboard box bevelled at 45°.
The simplicity of assembly in volume (direct bonding on edges after bevelling at 45°) adds to the magic of an embossed decoration that can be deployed over the entire surface of the box. The back of the embossing, visible inside the box, retains a sharpness and continues the graphic design. The diversity of the reliefs possible ranges from the delicacy of an evanescent wave to very marked and precise reliefs. This innovation, with sleek and modern finishes, can be applied to jewellery or champagne boxes.

Thanks to the emergence of new media and its innovations in engraving, Créanog is constantly pushing back the limits of paper deformation with reliefs up to 8 mm high. These reliefs on thick cardboard are very robust, a quality appreciated in applications as varied as packaging and POS. Créanog also combines its embossing and hot stamping expertise with other crafts, such as embroidery, and is experimenting with new materials (wood, real silk, textiles, etc.). In its new partnership with embroidery artist Emmanuelle Dupont, gold thread embellishes embossing in a subtle dialogue of light and relief. These innovations enable new scripts as well as ultra-premium customisations.
