Do more with less. Smart print strategies to get more value from your marketing without adding to your workload.

Adobe research found:
° 96% of respondents have seen content demand increase at least double in the last two years, and
° 62% said it has increased five times more.
° 71% of marketers said they expect content demand to grow more than five times as much between now and 2027.

It’s a lot of content that marketing teams need to produce, but with the current unstable economy we’re not seeing budgets grow by the same margins.

Here’s 7 ways to do more with less through smart print strategies:

One day back in the 1980s, Japanese man Noboru Hayama decided to invent a small-run printer that would be affordable for people who want to create paper products with an authentic, handmade feel. The risograph print, better known as ‘the riso’, now has a cult following associated with independence, activism and unique art. Think screen printing but using your office printer.

The distinctive look is known for its vivid colours and the “perfect imperfections” that tell you there’s an artist behind this work. Used mostly for prints, zines, posters and similar home-produced products like local sports club newsletters, the RISO’s function goes further than art and practicality.

‘Riso’ is Japanese for ‘ideal’, a name Hayama chose because he didn’t want his people to lose their ideals in the post-war challenges his nation faced.

We love a clever print product! Instead of using adhesive tape, this innovative Nomadbox opens using Klingenberg’s Monozip closure mechanism that makes the box reusable.

Made from a wooden wedge and clever cut-outs in the cardboard, it can be quickly opened and resealed over 100 times without damaging the box. It’s also tamper-evident, secure and can be flattened with the box for storage.

Being free from rubber-based adhesives makes this box also fully recyclable at end-of-life, contributing to higher reuse rates without relying on plastic or adhesives and lower energy required in its manufacture.

The design won Packaging Europe’s Sustainability Awards 2025 (the Nobel Prize of sustainable packaging innovations) in the Pre-Commercialized Driving the Circular Economy category.

Paper, your most sustainable option.

Your choice of paper affects your customer’s response. Paper creates a tactile experience by engaging the senses of touch and sight in a pleasing way that improves reader engagement.

How our senses engage will influence how that information is processed and understood so it's important to know what effect your paper choices are having on your readers.

We've summarised how different paper choices can affect how your readers respond to what they're reading and which papers to choose to get the response you want.

Print is a marketing multiplier. People are more far likely to trust a local business if they advertise by post.

How much more likely are people to trust a local business if they've seen your ad or information arrive via physical mail compared to finding you solely online? 44 per cent more likely.

Advertising by post builds trust.

Swedish schools are going back to paper.

Five years ago, Sweden adopted screen learning in schools as the norm but are now in the process of reversing this policy to a hybrid paper/screens model with the focus being more on paper learning.

This radical change is prompted by the negative consequences of extensive digitisation on the nation’s health.

Social Affairs and Public Health Minister Jakob Forssmed said, "Students are suffering widespread disorders and a decline in physical and intellectual capabilities due to the hours spent online”.

You can prompt your clients to put down their devices too with creative paper products. We have lots of ideas for you to think on.

Screens are out, paper is in. After all, nothing touches like paper. www.glideprint.com.au/contact

Have you heard of the purple poppy for Anzac Day? It honours the animals who also went to war.

For the thousands of horses that have carried our soldiers in conflicts since the Boer War, the WWII ‘paradogs’ that parachuted into enemy territory in preparation for the D-Day invasion, Simpson's donkey, and the dogs who've run messages across No Man's Land or sniffed out explosives in Afghanistan, the purple poppy honours these four-legged soldiers of our armed forces.

You can wear it on its own or with your red poppy as you pause to remember the bravery and sacrifices made so we can live in peace.

The Department of Veteran Affairs has a page showing how to make your own red Anzac Day poppies from paper cupcake liners or you can use purple ones to remember our brave animals too.

We came across US illustrator, Lindsey Made This, and love her colourful, on-trend style.

Such whimsical, retro-inspired work using bold colours and designs evoke the feelgood response artists are big on creating this year for world-weary consumers. It’s all part of the swing away from anything artificial or machine-made and towards a comforting human touch.

We think Lindsey has nailed that and is a shiny example of what’s growing in popularity right now. Expect to see more of this style in the coming months. You can see her delightful work at www.lindseymadethis.com and read about what’s on trend for graphic design in our ‘2026 Design Trends’ free guide.

Station-ery or -ary? Stationery (writing materials) is one of those words many people have to pause before spelling because it’s so close to stationary (not moving)*.

Despite their entirely different meanings, both words have the same origin. Back in mediaeval times when other English craftspeople moved to wherever the work was, manuscript writers and illuminators decided to gather in one place.

In 1403 they began the Stationers’ Guild in a large hall in the north of London where they set up their ‘stations’ and so became known as ‘stationers’, the goods they sold becoming known as ‘stationery’.

London’s Stationers’ Hall is a glorious building dating back to 1673 that still houses the Stationers’ Company. You can take a tour of it if you want. In superb British heritage fashion, they’ll give you a cup of tea too.

* An easy way to remember which is which is that stationERy is about papER.
