Ever wonder why the same exact color can look totally different depending on what it's printed on? This Pantone guide is the perfect example.

Look closely at these two swatch books. Same Pantone numbers, same ink formulas, same everything on paper (pun intended). The only difference is one strip is coated stock and the other is uncoated. And yet the colors read completely differently side by side.

This is the kind of thing that trips people up when they're picking paper for a project. You'd think color is color, but the stock you print on is doing a lot of the work behind the scenes. Coated paper has a smoother finish that reflects more light back at you, so colors tend to look brighter and more saturated. Uncoated paper soaks up more ink, which mutes things down a bit and gives you more of a natural, textured look.

Neither one is right or wrong. It really comes down to what you're printing and what feeling you're going for. A glossy product catalog wants that coated pop. A letterpress-style business card or a rustic wedding invite usually looks better on uncoated.

If you've got a print project coming up and aren't sure what paper makes sense for it, that's a conversation worth having before anything goes to press.

"My website doesn't need maintenance." "Nothing will go wrong." "Hackers only go after big companies." If any of those sound familiar, this one's for you. 👇

A website isn't a one-and-done project. Skipping updates, backups, and security checks can lead to slow performance, vulnerabilities, and even total site failure.

We're busting 5 common myths about website maintenance (and yes, the "it's too expensive" one is in there).

You designed the flyer. You posted it online. Don't stop there.

Print gives that same message a chance to show up in the real world, too. On counters. In windows. In someone's hand, places a scroll can't reach.

If it's worth posting, it's worth printing.

Got a flyer sitting in your files? Let's get it printed.

Screens get scrolled past in half a second. A piece of mail gets picked up, flipped over, held onto. That's what makes direct mail different. It lands in someone's hands instead of disappearing in a feed, and that changes how people connect with what they're reading.

In a world of infinite scroll, something physical still stands out. 📬

A brand can look professional and still make people wonder what the business actually does.

That was the challenge with Build Site Photography.

Our latest case study looks at how we clarified the brand, simplified the visual identity, and created a logo system that better reflects its real estate, construction and aerial services.

See the before, the thinking behind the redesign, and the finished identity: https://burlingtonpress.com/2026/09/14/case-study-clarifying-the-brand-for-build-site-photography/

Friends don't let friends order cheap printing online. 🛑

That bargain price can look pretty good at 2 a.m. But when you have a question, a deadline changes, or something just doesn't look right, that "great deal" can feel a lot less great, especially when you're stuck trying to reach a call center where nobody knows your project.

At Burlington Press, you're not just an order number. You're working with real people who know printing, know your project, and are here when you need help. We're locally owned, so when you work with us, you're supporting an actual neighbor, not a shareholder report.

Locally owned. Real people. Better support. And yes, we'll gladly talk your friends out of questionable late-night printing decisions. 😉

Support local. Print local.
