The print world it has seen

Card companies have seen card sales soar, Moonpig recently reported online personalised cards orders growing by 156% amid the virus crisis (3).

Royal Mail reveals that 80% of the UK’s top advertisers are now using unaddressed mail/door drops (2).

With the rise in demand and consumer expectations, brands are having to step up.  Brands and customers, both purchasing print are seeking outcomes that resonate with their brand, whether that be elevating a brand’s ethos or strongly portraying a wedding’s elegance in its invitations, customers want more, something that delivers an enhanced and consistent experience towards their goals.

28% of marketeers and brand owners say they have very little or are not familiar at all with print (1), so excite and inspire them with your ability to add value to their brand. Capture their customers with sensory coatings and foil finishes that shout quality or stand out and engage with unique, customisable shapes and packaging with on demand digital cutting.

“Accessibility to personalised print has become easier and easier, altering consumers expectations for print marketing and packaging that is highly relevant to them.”
