Crossover Print Applications – August 22, 2019
Changes in the marketplace are pushing creatives to tap into the benefits of digital technologies, (things like personalization and sustainability), while retaining familiar luxury achieved through traditional print methods (foil and embossing). However, because print providers historically only serviced traditional or digital methods exclusively, combination applications are not always first of mind with creatives. This past August at PrintWISE, our goal was to change that method of thinking and highlight the seamlessness and elegance of crossover print applications; utilizing traditional and digital methods in tandem.

Digital Packaging and Dimensional Displays – August 23, 2018
Digital printing has transformed the industry with short-run solutions that are tailored to a demographic, region or even an individual. Additionally, brands are utilizing digital processes for dimensional displays like shelf talkers and countertop cases to attract more attention in an ever-changing market.
Focused on reducing time to market, GSB Digital showcased our innovative digital printing, luxury digital embellishments and finishing processes perfect for pitching comps to retailers, creating prototypes or for creating short run local distributions. These digital print technologies paired with the finest substrates and laminations, leave an impression with consumers and open up a wealth of new applications to brands, converters and designers alike. We were honored to feature Vicki Strull, Design Strategist and Brand Visionary as a guest speaker, revealing how digital print and packaging is revolutionizing the way consumers interact with brands.

Responding To Digital Embellishments – February 1, 2018
The way that we understand and interpret the world has a lot to do with our physical interactions. A firm handshake, a high five, the gentle caress of someone’s hair… these interactions leave impressions on how we relate to people and other objects. Similarly, scientific studies have connected our sense of touch with a sense of ownership that in return creates more value and influences our decision-making. Knowing these things, GSB Digital has invested in new technology that helps our clients add more value to their printed pieces by adding tactile embellishments.
As the first print provider in New York to offer Scodix embellishments, we were excited to enable our clients to capture more value by adding digital spot, digital foil, and raised texture applications to their print project.
