Paper is a product that does far more than simply carry information - it is a sensory experience. Marco O. Bölling, finishing expert and owner of “Bölling Prägedrucksachen” in Bad Soden, explains how to create a lasting impression with paper. The “Bölling Prägedrucksachen” print shop only uses the finest paper, with great attention to detail in order to maintain its extremely high standards.

Specialist Print Shop and First-Class Finishing Specialist “Bölling Prägedrucksachen” Won Over

The family company was founded in 1964 by Karlheinz C. Bölling and was originally called Stahlstichdruck Bölling KG. The print shop was taken over by Marco O. Bölling in 2000. The company, which started out as a relief stamping business, has now become a finishing specialist combining traditional techniques with state-of-the-art processes to produce small works of art on a par with fine sculpture. The raised blind embossing in particular is reminiscent of relief work from the Renaissance. This allows 3D effects to be created on paper, such as a baby's footprint on a birth announcement card. “For work like this, you need extremely high-quality paper with long fibers so that it does not rupture at the edges of the embossing,” explains Marco O. Bölling.

Premium Recycled Paper from Koehler Paper Behave Almost Like Virgin Fiber Paper During Embossing

Because of this, very few types of recycled paper are suitable for this kind of finishing. The paper fibers are ground in every recycling operation, which makes them shorter each time. Secondary fibers can only withstand complex further processing if they are additionally refined during production. “The only recycled paper that behaves virtually like new paper is the one made by Koehler Paper and which is produced at the site in Greiz. It behaves almost identically to virgin fiber paper during embossing,” says print shop owner Marco O. Bölling. Greenium creative board, creative print, COLORline IQ, and Koehler Eco® paper products made of 100% secondary fiber material are intended as a sustainable and premium alternative in the area of top-quality printed products, among others.

No matter how much the company is dedicated to the art of finishing – it is never an end in itself. “Aesthetics and quality pay off,” Mr. Bölling believes. “If you hand a high-quality business card to a new contact, it immediately shows you are serious and trustworthy.” That’s why it is important to select the right paper for the right purpose, such as high-quality recycled paper from Koehler Paper Greiz. It is the perfect choice for many different finishing processes and has a feel that tells your brain that everything you have perceived with your senses is right.
