Paper can give life to all kinds of animals, thanks to its colours, finishes and the way it is processed. Therefore, that oft-repeated expression “paper is alive” makes even more sense than ever. Plego has realised this: they make different types of assemblable bird figures with paper. Moreover, they also dress shop windows, ephemeral venues, […]

It is no secret that a paper’s finish can ultimately be decisive in its going unnoticed or attracting consumers’ attention through the visual effect it creates and how it feels when touched. In this regard, embossing a material can become a key factor in getting a project or a design to stand out. However, how […]

A bright colour that will withstand the passing of time is one of the requirements that any paper must fulfil to create a visual impact on consumers and achieve unique and lasting results. The industrial production process (which involves several phases:  formation, drying,finishing and qualiti control) imparts the desired hue upon this material, although there is […]

One of the most important trends affecting publishing and packaging production is the ever-growing need to select environmentally-friendly materials. To a large extent, this  ecodesign calls for recycled materials that leverage substrates that have already been used, making them suitable for use in new projects.   To begin with, it must be emphasised that for a […]

When a graphic project is devised, either for the publishing or the packaging sector, the trends that have been defined as dominant for the year take on particular relevance. The colours, typographies, styles and finishes currently in vogue can make or break a design as well as a cut above the extensive offer on the […]

The manufacture of paper involves a series of stages ranging from the production of the pulp through to the end finish to ready it for sale to the customer. In the previous post we took a look at the initial part of the process as far as the drying of the paper. We continue in […]

From the moment the raw material for manufacturing paper is obtained until it reaches the end user, paper goes through a series of mechanical and technical processes that give it its final result. Depending on the appearance sought, our papers will go through different phases that will lead them to vary so that smooth, gummed, […]

Paper allows you to create myriad original creative projects, give your imagination a free rein and come up with surprising albeit seemingly impossible proposals. Playing with this material to create unique items is the speciality of Anaquiños de Papel, a project that saw the light in A Coruña in 2012 thanks to two sisters, Bea and […]

On November 15 and 16, a new edition of  Selected, the design and creativity event, will be held in Bilbao and once again a unique book will be created for the occasion. As in previous editions, Guarro Casas is providing the material required to produce the book, teaming up with the Otzarreta Think & Make […]

In the previous post we went over some of the main difficulties that may arise when working with paper for the publishing or packaging sector in the processing techniques involved in applying ink to a material. However, reliefs, folds and the application of glue, among other processes, may also cause problems if they are not […]
