But the designer needs to take ownership and understand the different aspects of paper and print production in order for their piece to turn out the way they've intended.”“Paper is hugely powerful in helping to extend the brand message. When we talk about paper attributes, most people think color first, but I say go deeper  and start to think about the tactile experience of paper. And that's really where you get into finishes and things like opacity, but how does that paper feel? There's a way where you can subtly impart some design nuance and brand messaging into the print piece through your choice of paper.”Resources:Visit Millcraft for mock-ups or samples. Visit Parse & Parcel for paper resources to inspire creative print design. Download the “How to Read a Swatchbook” Guide. Request your complimentary subscription to Paper Matters magazineVisit paper.domtar.com for our blog, request print promotions and much moreFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn or Twitter
