Abstract: We introduce a new class of fractal circle packings in the plane, generalizing the polyhedral packings defined by Kontorovich and Nakamura. The existence and uniqueness of these packings are guaranteed by infinite versions of the Koebe-Andreev-Thurston theorem. We prove structure theorems giving a complete description of the symmetry groups for these packings. And we give several examples to illustrate their number-theoretic and group-theoretic significance.
