Print and Graphic Communications Association 2026 Neographics Award Winners...

Text messages. QR Codes. PDFs. Social Media. Chat GPT. Look, we're not luddites, but we kinda think some types of communication seem to have veered towards the disposable, cheap, fast, and regrettably immemorable.

While digital communication has its place, classic ways of communicating are still incredibly effective when it comes to saying what you mean, creating a vibe, and getting attention in a way that just lands differently. We'd like to take a moment to give a huge shout-out of thanks to all of the stationery and greeting card makers out there who help keep printed and handwritten personalized greetings alive and well in the world. Whether it's the handwritten thank you note, the foiled invite, the bespoke event signage, the triplex business card, the die cut brochure, or the keepsake Mother's Day Greeting Card on luxe paper stock... Print Keeps It Classy.

Happy Mother's Day. (She deserves so much more than just emojis🌸)

We always like to have a little fun on

HAPPY EARTH DAY!

We want to celebrate this important occasion by highlighting a few recent developments in the ongoing journey towards sustainable printing that we (you and Indigo Ink) are on together.

This year marks our tenth anniversary partnering with PrintReleaf— every project you print with us on paper automatically results in new trees (17,406 so far!). Exciting new forest projects are underway across the world—including here in the US with sites in California, Florida, Oregon and Michigan.

——An Exciting New Development——
In addition to new forest projects that replenish the source of paper, we've also started to offset the carbon footprint created by paper manufacturing. PrintReleaf has calculated the amount of CO2 emissions created in the paper making process, specifically factoring in the amount of paper Indigo Ink uses to print your project. We then offset the total emissions by funding renewable energy projects around the world. This initiative is in addition to any renewable energy usage and/or offsets the paper mills already have in place.

Furthermore, we continue to use FSC-certified papers for house stocks and offer 100% Post Consumable Waste Recycled options. Request a current swatchbook or ask for a recommendation to make sure you're spec'ing the most environmentally friendly paper for your next project.

Interested to see how we're progressing together? Take a look at how many trees you've planted, where they're located, and our ongoing collaborative stats as they regularly get updated.

And again, Happy Earth Day. Every step towards sustainability is progress. We're in this together.

This one was very inspiring to work on. This Beautiful invitation features traditional blind embossing and gold foil. Cover on Antique Grey and Invitation on Classic Crest Solar White.

We may be a tad partial, but we think this postcard featuring fluorescent pink ink turned out SO CUTE! Be on the lookout in our next print order.

More than a Month...

March is Women's History Month and it's worth a moment to highlight a few key facts about our team. This isn't about patronizing or pandering to an audience... we're recognizing a company-wide norm that contributes to our strength as a team. May the printing industry—and all work sectors—continue to evolve in representation and embrace the advantages of a diversified workforce.

➡️ Women comprise 64% of our team. The industry average is around 30%

➡️ We're 50% woman-owned. Only about 30% of all printing companies have a least one woman as owner.

➡️ 75% of our management team are women. The industry avg is between 15-20%.

We had a magical evening at the AAF Baltimore - AAFB Addy Awards last night. It was an honor to print the event program featuring the winning work (and a gold foil stamped cover). Our ad in the book features a few of the "rabbits" we've pulled out of our hat over the years. Well done to the winners and the board members who hosted a very inspiring evening in Baltimore.
