WHERE PERSIAN ART MEETS MODERN PRINT
Takhtenegar is an award-level printing, packaging and branding atelier. We craft luxury boxes, labels, books, posters and identities inspired by 700 years of Persian Negargari — with Heidelberg precision, foil, emboss and sustainable papers.
The atelier behind Iran’s finest paper
YEARS
From a small Tehran lithography shop to a full-cycle design & print house.
Founded in 1998 near Baharestan Square, Takhtenegar started with two second-hand presses and a love for Persian miniature (Negargari). Today we unite graphic designers, calligraphers, packaging engineers and master printers under 3,200 m² — design studio, CtP, offset & digital halls, die-cutting, foil, UV, hardcover and rigid-box lines.
We don’t just print. We engineer unboxing emotions: saffron and pistachio boxes that survive export, perfume cartons with soft-touch + gold, art books with 170lpi stochastic screening, restaurant identities with hand-drawn Nastaliq.

Clients keep the boxes
“Takhtenegar turned our saffron into jewelry. Export breakage dropped to zero, and customers post the box before the product.”
Founder, Qaenat Royal — Mashhad
“The Nastaliq logo + soft-touch carton doubled our shelf price. Their prepress caught what two other printers missed.”
CEO, Atar Pars Perfumes
“320-page art book, perfect binding, colors like miniatures. Museums in Isfahan now order reprints only from them.”
