The tin figure rendered in color by miniatures painter FactsMartin Lother How Paper is Made

Papermaking in 1591 – then

The only raw material used to make paper was rags, which were bought up by rag collectors going door-to-door. In the paper mill, the rags were cleaned and sorted by material and color, and any unwanted objects such as buttons, eyelets, or leather were removed. The rags were cut into small pieces and soaked for several days, before being placed in a mill powered by a large wheel Illustrati on of a paper mill in the late 17th century: In the foreground, a worker couches where they were broken the paper. To the right, another lays the down into individual fibers. sheets, while the worker at the center of the illustrati on scoops the paper out of the vat. In This milling process took 12 the background you can see the rag mill driven to 24 hours, and resulted in by the large mill wheel. a material that was ready to be turned into paper.

Our ”Papyrer von der Göltzsch” is using a papermaking frame that bears the logo of Euler ColorTech Paper as a watermark. To create a watermark like this, a piece of wire was placed onto the metal screen to create a raised contour. Where the wire sits, the paper is thinner, allowing more light through than the rest of the sheet.

The Irschwitz paper mill in the Göltzsch Paper Valley in 1820

The mill canteen at the Greiz paper factory in 1902 Paper Production in 2021 – now

Paper production on the Göltzsch has evolved over the years. Today, paper and cardboard are manufactured on an industrial scale. But underneath it all, the principle is the same as ever: In Greiz, in the state of Thuringia, paper and cardboard are produced at the highest level and to the very best quality standards. The paper mill in Greiz now specializes in high-grade recycled paper that meets the same quality standards as the finest cellulose- based paper. The company’s commitment to environmental protection is a unique endeavor that really sets it apart. At the factory, more than a hundred employees produce paper for a wide range of applications, from cardboard for office use to creative card for crafting, and much more. The paper is especially well suited to high-quality packaging. The Productioncompany‘s COLORline IQ was also the first recycled paper to be developed for digital printing. This special color technology makes it possible to produce recycled paper in vivid colors. In 1998, the Greiz paper factory became part of the Koehler Group, a family-run company based in Oberkirch, Baden- Württemberg. The group employs more than 2000 staff in total. The outer paper wrapping for this box was produced using the latest product from Koehler Greiz GmbH & Co. KG. Koehler Eco Black is an exquisite paper in a rich, deep black shade, which was developed specially for high-quality packaging. This paper is is lightfast and resistant to bleeding, color migration and abrasion, and is made entirely from secondary fibers. Since Koehler Eco Black is produced without any carbon, it is ideal for pairing with stamping foils, as can be Productionseen on our box. “The Forest Is My Gym” In his early thirties, he finally returned to his Dieter Beller in conversation beloved Greiz, “the pearl with Holger Palm, a of ”, where he papermaker from the initially worked in research Göltzsch region. and development.

Thanks to Palm’s strategy I ask Palm whether he has a favorite spot in the Göltzsch Valley. “The paper mill,” he answers, without missing a beat. Looking back over his career in the paper industry, it is clear that this answer comes straight from the heart. A native of the Vogtland region, Holger Palm began his paper story at 16, when he took up an apprenticeship in paper making. Later, while living in Lehnamühle, he began to work shifts. He gained an engineering degree in paper technology, returning to Lehnamühle for a time after his studies. of producing full-color materials.” cardboard entirely from I ask Palm whether he ever secondary fiber, the factory thought about moving to gained a unique selling a different industry. “I did point that set it apart from consider it occasionally. its European competitors.

He remained loyal to paper his entire life. I ask him what his plans are for the future. “Our home, our soul, is here in the valley of the Göltzsch and the White Elster. And there’s still much to be done.”

The forest is my gym.” This feels like the perfect place to end my conversation with this affable man. As I see it, the three pillars of family, paper, and nature give his life balance and harmony. Holger Palm lives in harmony with himself.

This conversation between Holger Palm and Dieter Beller took place in October 2020.

Thanks to the sophisticated production techniques developed in recent decades, these flat figures have become tiny, culturally significant works of art, depicting historical scenes of life through the ages. Hobbyists the world over delight in collecting and painting these figures, and in arranging them to create dioramas. Multiple artists and Stage Two: The Draft

We asked Sascha Lunyakov, a Ukrainian artist from , to come up with some drafts for our idea. Sascha had already designed many notable tin figures. After a few sketches and rounds of editing, we received the clean drawing of the figure on transparent paper – this was the format that the engraver would need for their template. In the past, a drawing like this would be copied onto parchment using ink. But Sascha is a modern man and does all this on the computer.

It is here that the company’s experts work tirelessly on new designs and innovative techniques. “We’re not interested in standard products – we want to offer bespoke solutions that fit our customer’s product and strategy perfectly,” Monika Canon continues. “That was our goal right from the outset for the ”Papyrer von der Göltzsch” project.” Nonetheless, this project was especially challenging. “Although we’ve packaged all sorts of products in the past, the task of staging a tin figure in front of a diorama was completely new territory for us,” Canon recalls. “Finding a way to secure the little metal papermaker in place for safe transport, while also ensuring that he could be taken out of the diorama and placed back in again, was a real challenge.” But surely a company founded in 1855 and steeped in tradition has packaged a few tin figures in its time? In fact, Nuremberg was once the global center of tin soldier production, home to factories where hundreds of workers would cast and paint these small toys. The company’s history books will soon be opened to find out more.

Before the packaging for our papermaker went into production, a prototype was meticulously constructed by hand.
