A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by the Mohawk + Fedrigoni booth at Amplify Print! It was wonderful to connect with passionate professionals to discuss the future of print. The embellishment technologies on display demonstrated that print can be elevated in ways we never imagined and that the possibilities to create impactful print experiences are endless.

Amplify Print 2025 Was a Blast! We had a great time showcasing new printing possibilities through the power of expandable color in the space-saving Revoria Press™ SC285S. Thank you to those who learned about adding print value through the remarkable brilliance of metallic color embellishments while visiting the Fujifilm booth!

Had to leave before the final day, but the Amplify energy is still buzzing. In the middle of bold ideas, deep tech, and nonstop conversations, something grounded me. It reminded me that beyond strategy and scale, it’s about the stories we help tell, and the people behind them. Scodix taking Best of Show for our hashtag#GoldLeaf application by Shenzhen Jujin Paper Packaging Co.,Ltd was a proud moment. But what truly stuck were the customer stories, the partners who feel more like friends, and the shared belief in what’s possible. Grateful for the spark. Still feeling it.

Back home and reflecting on my whirlwind week at Amplify Print. Like any good trade show, I returned home with three full bags of samples and swatch books. I spent all day (literally) organizing the various pieces that we’ve gathered over the years from our own productions or that of the wonderful partners and vendors we work with every day.
Unlike many trade shows, however, I also returned home exhausted but utterly invigorated. The expo hall… the sessions… the people! Everything just brings me such joy! With each year that passes in this industry, I feel more excited for my future in it. And closer with the friends that I’ve made along the way - those brilliant minds that make this field feel like home. I’m so thankful that Tactive allows me to show up and be myself (and even encourages all my wild ideas).

We attended one of our favorite brand packaging conferences, Amplify Print, the must-attend print finishing and embellishment conference if you live and breathe brand packaging that delights consumers. Amplify is produced by the FSEA - Foil & Specialty Effects Association. Our hosts, Jeff and Gayla Peterson always assemble the boldest and brightest when it comes to the shimmery, shiny and touchy feely. Speaking of “touch”, we’re excited to hear Vicki Strull who will be presenting the findings of THE TOUCH ADVANTAGE: HOW PREMIUM PACKAGING AFFECTS SALES, a study she co-authored with Sappi and Clemson University that delves into exactly how touch influences what we buy and why. In the coming weeks, we’ll share about the key role Cog played in this extraordinary study.

Great connections and conversations at Amplify Print! Had the pleasure of hanging out with Dave Sullivan from Sappi Papers, showcasing DREAMWORKS latest self-promo calendar project. There’s nothing quite like seeing your work printed on premium paper - the quality and craftsmanship really shine through when you partner with the right suppliers. Trade shows like Amplify Print remind me why I love this industry. It’s all about the relationships, the innovation, and the shared passion for creating something tangible and beautiful either offset or digital. Grateful for partnerships that help bring creative visions to life. The tactile experience of exceptional print work never gets old.

Every time our team goes to the FSEA Amplify Show we learn many new things about embellishments. Especially through the open panel sessions with questions and answers. We also GREALY love meeting new people and creating long lasting friendships in the industry to bounce ideas by over the years. This show has really helped our team grow and move our creativity forward faster. Keep up the good work EVERYONE!!

—Ernest Lompa, On Line Bindery

This was one of the best trade show interactions that I have had in all of my years of attending shows. The smaller size of the show allows for better conversations with key vendors and allows for a lot of discussion that isn’t possible at larger print shows. I was able to connect with the right companies and representatives to help up grow our business.
