Introducing the New Lamination and Foil Machine at Foote Printing

In today's fast-evolving digital landscape, the printing world continues to innovate, much like its digital counterparts. At Foote Printing, we're proud to be at the forefront of these advancements, introducing new machinery and techniques that enhance the quality and efficiency of our services. Our latest innovation is the new Lamination and Foil Machine, making it easier and more cost-effective for businesses and individuals to produce smaller print runs with stunning embellishments. This machine promises not only to offer a wider array of options but also to elevate the printed products to a level of professionalism and quality that truly stands out.

Harnessing the Power of the New Lamination and Foil Machine

At Foote Printing, we've always kept pace with technological developments, and our latest venture is a testament to that commitment. The addition of the new Lamination and Foil Machine means that we can now cater to smaller print runs, enabling us to offer competitive pricing for projects that demand high-quality embellishments without the need for bulk orders. This shift aligns with current market trends where customers prefer fewer printed items that boast high-impact designs.

Features and Benefits:

Enhanced Embellishment: The machine allows for the integration of sophisticated soft-touch lamination, an option that adds a sleek, luxurious feel to any print material. This tactile element ensures that your document not only looks impressive but also feels premium.
Versatile Foil Options: Imagine sending your print through, coming out the other side embellished with intricate gold, silver, or translucent foils. This machine makes it possible to apply these stunning metallic or holographic touches on any design printed in black, lending an unmatched visual appeal.
Spot Foiling Capability: One of the greatest innovations with this machine is spot foiling. This technique allows specific parts of the print to be highlighted with foil, creating depth and interest, great for packaging or documents that need that extra something to attract the eye.

As Michael Duhr discusses, the addition of the new machine is crucial at a time when clients desire high-end looking prints even in limited quantities. This machine empowers businesses to present their materials – be they resumes, brochures, or product packaging – with an air of sophistication and excellence that mirrors their brand's image.

Direct Mail vs. Email: Why the Mailbox Still Wins for Leads | Foote Printing

Picture this: your inbox is crammed with hundreds of unread messages, but your physical mailbox still gets your attention every single day. Even the “junk” gets a glance. That moment—those few seconds with something in your hand—is where brands are built and leads are made. At Foote Printing, we live at the intersection of print and direct marketing. We love email for its speed, but we’ve seen time and again that the mailbox delivers attention, trust, and results you just can’t get online alone. Here’s why—and how we help you make the most of it. The Real Problem: Digital Overload, Diminishing Attention Email is easy to send and cheaper per message, but that ease creates a flood. Your customers are overwhelmed, filters are aggressive, and messages blur together. Meanwhile, people open their mailbox daily, touch every piece, and form split-second judgments that stick. Our job is to make sure your piece earns those seconds—and turns them into action. The Attention Advantage in the Mailbox Daily habit: People check and sort their mail almost every day. Your message gets handled, not just “marked as read.” Built-in “open rate”: Even if someone tosses a postcard, they saw your brand, offer, and headline first. Sticky brand recall: That physical touch plants a memory that pays off when they see your name online later. Tangible Means Trustworthy A well-printed, well-designed piece signals legiti

Your best email probably didn’t even earn two seconds of attention. Meanwhile, a well-designed postcard sits on a kitchen counter and gets read twice. In a world of overflowing inboxes, phishing attempts, and disappearing feeds, print is the channel people still trust. As a Cleveland print company, we see it every day: print isn’t dying—it’s evolving. And when you use it strategically, it outperforms digital alone. Why Print Wins Trust (and Attention) In the digital world, skepticism is the default. People double-check sender names, avoid links, and ignore most messages. That’s exactly why print is surging back: It’s tangible and memorable—your brand lives on desks, counters, and trade show booths. It signals legitimacy—real materials from a real company. It stands out—especially when everyone else is stuck in the inbox. We’ve heard “print is dying” for 40 years. The truth? It’s simply evolving, and the businesses who adapt are the ones getting noticed. The Future of Print Is Integrated Today’s best-performing campaigns blend print and digital. You don’t need to say everything on the piece—just enough to spark interest and guide the next step. Here’s how we help clients do that: Use QR codes to bridge offline and online seamlessly. One scan, and your audience lands on the exact page you want them to visit. Leverage variable data printing for personalization. Tai
