Did you know...paper breathes. It pulls moisture right out of the air and swells. When that happens, nothing lines up the way it's supposed to, and you end up with a mess. Temperature matters too — ink doesn't print the same in the winter versus the summer. A modern printing plant without climate control isn't a printing plant. It's just a very expensive room full of problems.

Willis Carrier solved that problem because a printer needed him to. Over 120 years later, we're still grateful he did. So when you turn on your AC at home or in the office, thank Mr. Carrier and the printing industry!!

Just like every project we produce for our clients starts with a plan and basic ingredients like paper and ink, so does National Pizza Party Day. We're in the planning stages right now. We've got the dough, the sauce and the cheese. Trying to figure out what to add next.

Any ideas?

This just in! Physical mail is outperforming digital in a metric that matters most: trust.

A new study from the AAPC and the U.S.P.S. found that 77% of 2025 voters view political mail as more factual than other advertising channels - and 67% said it actually influenced their opinion. 90% said they want mail that speaks to them personally on the issues they care about most. So what we read is that printed mail, when personalized and sent to the right audience, works... and works very well.

In a world of digital overload and growing distrust in AI, mail is performing very well. But effective direct mail in 2026 isn't just about showing up in the mailbox. It's about showing up smart.

At Journeyman Press, our SmartMail platform reveals which voters are engaging with your mail pieces - giving campaigns the intelligence to follow up with the people already interested. Combined with data-driven personalization, we help campaigns craft mailers that speak directly to individual voters on the issues driving their decisions.

Interested in seeing what SmartMail can do for your campaign?

One more thought - These metrics apply well beyond political mail. If you're a college recruiter or retail marketer or a fundraiser, direct mail works and we can prove it.

At Journeyman Press, it's the most wonderful time of the year!! It's Commencement Season!

Each year, the month of May +/- a week or two, brings out the best in our team here. It's like the playoffs after a full season of training, practicing and executing. Months and months of doing our jobs at the highest levels pays off as we head into the busy weeks of May.

Planning starts months in advance with communication between Journeyman and our clients beginning in the early months of the year, production materials are pre-ordered, planning begins, production plans are put into place, schedules are reviewed, adjusted and reviewed again. All of this culminates in our team executing at the highest level, juggling multiple critical projects under the most challenging circumstances.

The payoff?? Delivering Commencement programs, scrolls, tickets etc. on time, every time year after year. We call is organized chaos. Our clients call us the calm before and during the storm. Parents, graduates, speakers have no idea we exist or played a role in the ex*****on of this very important event. And that's just fine with us.

If you have an important event on the horizon, reach out. We would love to tell you our story and explain why so many college and universities in the greater Boston area come back to us year after year.

Did you know... for anyone planning direct mail in 2026… The USPS is offering a 5% postage discount for campaigns that incorporate emerging technologies — including AI.

At a glance:

5% discount (up from 3% in 2025)
AI-generated copy or imagery qualifies
You choose a 6-month promotion window
Can be stacked with +1% for Informed Delivery or sustainability

It’s a meaningful savings, especially at higher volumes, and it doesn’t require a major change in approach. Since most are using AI already, this is free money.

If you’re working on upcoming campaigns, it’s worth checking in Journeyman or with your current printer or Mail Service Provider to make sure you’re taking advantage of what’s available.

We hear it all the time: “Go digital—it’s better for the environment.”

But digital isn’t impact-free.
Every email, ad, and click runs through energy-hungry data centers.
Every device requires manufacturing—and eventually becomes e-waste.

Print has a footprint.
Digital does too… it’s just less visible.

At Journeyman Press, we focus on what we can control.
With recycled content in the paper we use, we help save approximately:
1,400+ trees annually
400,000+ gallons of water
Hundreds of thousands of kWh of energy

Because sustainability isn’t about choosing sides—
it’s about making smarter choices across every channel.

Today we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

A day when everyone’s just a little bit Irish… and everything turns green (Go Celtics!!).

But here’s something you might not know:
St. Patrick’s Day is one of the earliest examples of print being used to promote a moment—posters, flyers, and ads driving people to celebrate.

So today, we’re raising a glass to two things:
The holiday and the original marketing channel that helped make it one!

Some traditions never change.

We did all we could but we've been beaten by this storm. Journeyman Press will be closed today. Have fun in the snow and stay safe. We'll be back to work tomorrow.

If you’re mailing in 2026 and not using current USPS incentives, you're missing out on up to 6% in postage savings.

At Journeyman Press, we don’t just “print and mail.” We engineer mail that performs:
• Mail piece design that qualifies (and stands out)
• Postal regulations handled right the first time
• Data processing that keeps campaigns clean + compliant
• USPS incentive expertise that can cut postage costs

And if you want to go beyond savings, pair it with SmartMail to boost engagement and prove attribution—track delivery in-home, see who’s scanning/visiting, and connect responses back to the mail piece.

If you have a spring/summer drop planned, now’s the time to lock in savings and add tracking that shows what’s working.

DM us “6%” and we’ll tell you what incentives your next campaign may qualify for (and how SmartMail can help you measure it).

The best days are when you can have a little fun while doing a little work. We had some fun today using ChatGPT to create a caricature of Scott diving into the data available in our SmartMail dashboard.

Business + Fun = a great day at the office!!

When you do what you love, you love what you do.
