🤯 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?

Watch the video to see (and hear) it in action! 👇

Do you think this takes home the gold? What is your favorite feature on this card? Let me know in the comments!

🔹 Fujifilm Revoria

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?

Let me know in the comments, and tell me: Do you think this is a contest winner? 🏆

👇 On this week's episode of Hangin' with the bigDAWGS, we announced massive industry disruption...

Here is what we are bringing to your next campaign:

✨ 5th and 6th color embellishments (clear toners, holographic foils, metallics)

📲 NFC tech embedded directly into banners, shirts, and ID badges

🎯 Brand guidelines that actually dictate tactile, physical interactions

Stop printing flat, boring, invisible collateral. We are turning physical print into trackable, high-converting digital gateways.

They said you couldn't put raised holographic foil on a synthetic vinyl banner. We said, "Watch us." 🚀

I am beyond thrilled to announce that bigDAWGS® just took home the 2026 FSEA Gold Leaf Award for Best Use of Digital Embellishments - Miscellaneous! 🏆

Check out the video to see the winner: a 100% synthetic vinyl banner featuring Soft Touch Lamination, Raised UV, and Raised Holographic Foil.

If you know the printing industry, you know the heat from UV lamps and lamination rollers makes this almost impossible on synthetic vinyl. Most experts would tell you to use wide-format printing and expensive cold lamination.

Instead, we spent the last two years developing a patent-pending process:
✅ Printed on a toner press (not wide format!)
✅ Used thermal lamination (1/3 the cost of cold lam)
✅ Engineered a way to beat the heat and bind it all together flawlessly

Tech Used:
🔹 Konica Minolta AccurioPress
🔹 MGI JETvarnish

The result? A premium, highly tactile, and visually stunning banner that is remarkably cost-effective to produce.

I’ve got a question for my network: Have you ever seen raised varnish or holographic foil on banners, car magnets, or outdoor signs before? Let me know what you think in the comments! 👇

Did you ENJOY this? ♻️ Repost it. Send it.
