Why print?

Print is important for a variety of reasons, including its ability to communicate information, promote products, services and events, and create a tangible, physical connection with an audience.  Printed materials also provide a physical representation of a brand or product that can be held, touched and shared.  This can create a lasting impression on the audience and help to establish a sense of trust and credibility.
