1. We launched UV Printing on acrylic stock!

A custom acrylic bar sign is printed with the bar menu and displayed on a granite counter top. What you didn’t know about this launch is that the behind-the-scenes battle to make custom print acrylic work smoothly was tough and drawn out but we did it and now you can create gorgeous, crystal clear stationery and signage.

2. We added three new specialty print processes!

A save the date is shown with gold enhanced foil against a black background.

Enhanced Raised Foil, UV Printing and White Ink Printing. Even one new specialty print process is a pretty big deal let alone three! Be sure to learn more about each one.

3. Two words: custom stamps.

Custom stamp designs for teachers are shown all stamped on one piece of paper. We absolutely loved the teacher feature we did on Facebook and Instagram with custom stamps for our favorite educators! Check out the blog post, INKspiration! Custom Stamps for Teachers

4. A very special custom wrapping paper!

A gift is shown wrapped with personalized pet wrapping paper and a bright red bow on top.

We simply have to give a shout out to our in-house designer’s custom holiday wrapping paper featuring her furry friend in a Santa hat! Check it out along with custom designs from other design team members in the blog, Custom Print Holiday Wrapping Paper.

5. Fancy new envelope print presses with robotics technology! Making custom printing on envelopes even more efficient and showing us the future of print and packaging.

6. Custom home illustrations.

A home illustration art print is shown in an elegant white frame next to an aqua vase of flowers.

7. Digital + Foil.

A photo holiday card is shown with "cheers" stamped in silver foil along the bottom.

This remains our most popular print pairing to date! Customers continue to absolutely love the foil stationery trend. It is most commonly paired with digital printing but we also see a lot of letterpress plus foil, which is simply stunning.

8. Letterpress

Three cards are shown with blind letterpress to mimic the look of blind embossing.

It is, and always will be, gorgeous.

9. Cheat sheets.

A full product list cheat sheet is shown.

We started creating cheat sheets a few years ago but this year we gathered them all in a nifty spot located in the footer of the website. We’ve also added some great ones and plan to do more. Send us your requests!

10. YOU! You knew we were heading in that direction, didn’t you? Of course, you are our favorite thing about every year. Happy New Year, friends!
