🚨 Brand Managers & Marketers: If your packaging only appeals to the eyes, you are actively sabotaging your own sales. 💸 Science proves consumers will happily pay 89% MORE for the exact same product if the box simply feels premium to the touch. Today, we are announcing a massive international award sweep and rolling this tactile retail cheat code out across Canada! 🇨🇦

We are beyond proud to announce that bigDAWGS just won 7 FSEA Gold Leaf Awards for our digital embellishments—in our very first year entering! 🏆

But this isn't just about making things look pretty. As discussed in this video with Print Three President Andrew Hrywnak, the science of "haptics" (touch) drives massive ROI. According to a recent Sappi & Clemson University study:

👉 50% Conversion Bump: If a customer touches a premium, embellished piece just TWICE, they are 50% more likely to buy it. 👉 90% Close Rate: Four touches? That purchase intent skyrockets to 90%. 👉 3x Faster Sales: Embellished packaging moves off shelves three times faster than plain boxes. 👉 89% Price Premium: Consumers perceive the value to be 89% higher simply because of raised foil and tactile finishes.

We are taking this award-winning, revenue-driving technology and rolling it out nationwide through the Print Three network.

No more settling for standard, flat ink on paper. It is time to make your customers literally FEEL your brand.

Watch the video to hear the full breakdown on the incredible ROI of tactile design. 🎥

Paper is dead? Not even close. You're just using it wrong. 🤯

In a world where we are drowning in digital links and cold emails, physical touch is the ultimate way to cut through the noise.

Take a look at our latest FSEA Gold Leaf Award entry. We combined high-end print embellishments with cutting-edge electronics to create a portfolio that no hiring manager could ever ignore.

The sensory breakdown:

✋ TOUCH: A soft-touch finish paired with raised, texturized gold foil.

👁️ SIGHT & SOUND: A fully integrated, embedded video screen that plays a high-quality sizzle reel right on the page.

🌐 DIGITAL: A built-in NFC chip. One tap of a smartphone, and the physical book instantly triggers a digital contact menu.

We are incredibly proud of this piece, but I need your help settling a debate.

If you were handed this in a meeting, what feature would impress you the most?

👉 The premium soft-touch & gold foil?

👉 The embedded video screen?

👉 The tap-to-phone NFC tech?

📉 WE’VE ALL FELT THAT PIT IN OUR STOMACH RUNNING HEAVY CARD STOCK. 📉

ATTN: Press Operators.

You load up the thickest 400gsm card stock your shop has.

The first few sheets come out looking like a masterpiece.

Then, a few minutes later, the toner starts flaking off the edges like chipped paint.

It is one of the most frustrating feelings in the pressroom.

I'm here to tell you: That is not bad luck. You aren't dealing with a broken machine or a bad batch of toner. You are dealing with thermodynamics. It’s a battle of physics, and if you know which settings to tweak, it's a battle you can easily win.

Watch the video to see why this happens.

👇 What's your biggest headache when running heavy stock?

Be brutally honest with me: Is this too corny? 😅 I made these pop-up business cards, and I need a sanity check.

There is no expensive foil. No crazy gloss. Just a simple cut and fold so the little guy stands up and waves at you when you set it down. 🙋‍♂️

We tested them at a huge real estate expo here in Toronto. We just left them standing on the tables like mini displays. To my surprise, a literal crowd gathered around them. People couldn't stop picking them up.

I'm thinking about submitting this to the FSEA print awards this year, but I want to know what my network thinks first.

What’s your verdict?
1️⃣ Actually brilliant. Submit it!
2️⃣ Way too silly. Save your money.

🗑️ BE HONEST: WHERE IS YOUR BUSINESS CARD RIGHT NOW? 🗑️

Is it on your prospect's desk?

Or is it in the trash can next to it?

The brutal truth of networking is that "Politeness" gets you the handshake, but "Value" gets you the save.

Our CEO Eddie Davin tracked the lifespan of a standard paper business card. The result?

👉 88% are discarded within 7 days.

If you want to escape the trash can, you need to upgrade the format. It’s time to stop handing out "Tokens" and start handing out "Tools."

🤯 Print just got a massive tech upgrade (and a major security boost).

We are officially submitting this interactive piece for the FSEA Gold Leaf Awards 2026! 🏆

At first glance, it looks like a stunning, premium sticker. But it’s actually a frictionless "Tap-to-Give" donation tool with a hidden superpower.

Here is what went into this piece:
✨ Soft Touch Lamination
✨ Raised UV
✨ Raised Holographic Foil
📲 Hidden NFC Antenna

The "Aha!" Moment:
Anyone can encode a basic NFC sticker or print a QR code. The danger? Scammers can easily print a fake sticker and place it over the original to hijack donations or payments.

How do we stop them? Embellishments. By combining frictionless NFC tech with highly complex, hard-to-reproduce print embellishments like raised holographic foil and UV, this sticker becomes practically counterfeit-proof. The premium print IS the security measure. 🔒

In the video, Eddie breaks down exactly how it works. But we want to hear from the community...

What is your favorite aspect of this piece?
1️⃣ The gorgeous Raised UV & Holographic Foil?
2️⃣ The Soft Touch feel?
3️⃣ The frictionless, app-free NFC tech?
4️⃣ The built-in anti-counterfeit security?

Marketers and brand designers: your standard, flat mailers are going straight into the trash. 🗑️ If you aren't giving your customers something they can physically FEEL, you are burning your budget. Stop printing forgettable garbage and start printing actual gold. 🥇

Take a look at this "Klondike Fever" postcard we just showcased.

This is not just ink on a piece of paper. This is a tactile experience.

✨ Insane light reflection that immediately commands attention ✨ Micro-textured lines that force your audience to stop and run their fingers over it ✨ Heavy, high-build embossed lettering that screams premium value

In a world where everyone is entirely fatigued by digital ads and spam emails, a physical piece of marketing that looks and feels like this is your ultimate pattern interrupt.

People throw away junk mail. They do not throw away art.

🚀 Think traditional CMYK printing is as good as it gets? Our friends at CP Office Solutions just blew that theory out of the water. 🤯

Recently, we partnered with our incredible sponsor, CP Office Solutions, to take incredibly talented Graphic Design students from Seneca Polytechnic out of the classroom and straight into the future of digital print.

CP Office Solutions opened their doors to give these students an exclusive, hands-on masterclass with the Fujifilm Revoria Press™ PC1120—and their reactions say it all.

As a leader in print tech, the team at CP Office Solutions didn’t just give us a tour; they showed us how this machine is literally breaking the rules of design:

🎨 6-Color Stations: Why settle for 4? The Revoria features underlay and overlay capabilities that add unbelievable depth to any artwork.

✨ Mind-Blowing Specialty Toners: The students got to experiment with vibrant Pink, rich Gold, Silver, and Clear toners that make flat prints look dynamic and textured.

🧠 AI-Powered RGB Processing: The CP team showed us how to skip the dull CMYK conversion entirely. By sending RGB files straight to the press, the AI expands the color gamut to hit vibrant, glowing colors that designers usually only see on a backlit screen.

A massive thank you to CP Office Solutions for sponsoring this series and, more importantly, for investing in the next generation of creatives. They aren't just providing office solutions; they are providing the tools to push creative boundaries.

👀 Keep an eye on my feed! We have 3 more bite-sized, deep-dive clips from this amazing day dropping very soon.

👇 Designers & Print Geeks: If you had access to CP Office Solutions' 6-color press with metallic and pink toners, what is the first thing you would print? Let’s hear your ideas below!

Want a secret to making your brand unforgettable? Make your audience literally want to "pet" your marketing material. ✋✨

We’re going for GOLD at the FSEA Gold Leaf Awards 2026, and we are bringing out the big guns with this one.

To stand out today, you have to engage more than just the eyes. You need a true multisensory experience. That’s why we engineered this custom soundCARD for Monument Health to trigger sight, sound, and touch all at once.

Here is the breakdown of the embellishments that make this a showstopper:

✨ Raised Holographic Glitter Foil: Delivers an eye-catching visual pop that absolutely demands attention.
☁️ Soft Touch Lamination: Creates a premium, velvety feel the second it leaves the envelope.
🔊 Custom Sound Module: Opening the card instantly triggers a crisp, personalized audio message.
💧 The Secret Sauce (Tactile Watermark): We added a Raised UV texture pattern to the back of the card.

Why focus on the back? The endowment effect. When people hold a card, they naturally support the back with their fingers. By giving them an unexpected, texturized pattern to explore with their hands, they hold onto it longer. That physical engagement subconsciously reinforces brand memory.

Designers and marketers: when you create a physical piece, do you think about how the end-user will actually hold it?

Print isn’t dead. It just got a massive tech upgrade. 🤯

We are thrilled to unveil our latest entry for the FSEA Gold Leaf Awards 2026, and it might just be the ultimate bridge between physical and digital marketing.

We’ve taken a traditional print piece and transformed it into a fully interactive, multi-sensory experience. It’s not just a card; it’s a portal.

Here is what makes this videoCARD an absolute game-changer:

🖐️ The Tactile Experience: Covered in Soft Touch Lamination with Raised UV and Raised Gold Foil. The moment you hold it, the textured embellishments give it an unmistakable premium feel.

👁️ The Visual Impact: Open it up, and you aren’t just reading text. A built-in LCD screen immediately launches a high-definition video message. No links to type, no QR codes to scan—instant engagement.

📱 The Interactive Tech: We embedded an app-free NFC chip right into the print material. Just tap your smartphone to the card (like Apple Pay!), and it instantly launches a custom digital menu powered by our Punch Ninja system.

If your marketing strategy isn’t blending physical touch with digital engagement, you are leaving an enormous opportunity on the table.

Now, I have to ask my LinkedIn network—what is your favorite feature? 1️⃣ The premium, textured embellishments? 2️⃣ The embedded video screen? 3️⃣ The instant NFC smartphone tap?
