What Are You Missing? 5 Print Products You Didn't Know We Could Do

If you’re like most businesses, you have a few go-to print pieces: postcards, brochures, business cards, maybe a banner or two. They’re effective and familiar.

But what if the print piece that makes someone pause, smile, or say “that’s cool” isn’t one of the usual suspects?

Here are five lesser-known print tools that can quietly boost your branding, elevate your presentation, and add a little magic to your next marketing push.

1. Table Tents: Stand Up and Get Noticed

There’s something irresistible about a table tent.

It’s just sitting there, on a reception counter, trade show table, or café ledge, doing its job without needing to be picked up.

While most people associate table tents with food service, they’re one of the most versatile marketing pieces around. We’ve seen clients use them to promote referral offers at dental offices, guide guests at fundraisers, and share QR-code access to resources during community events.

The best part? They’re compact, stand tall, and never get lost in a stack.

2. Perforated Tear-Offs: Built-in Engagement

Not everything needs to be digital.

When someone can physically detach a reply form, coupon, or appointment reminder, it creates a kind of micro-interaction that sticks.

Think of tear-offs as the real-world equivalent of a call-to-action button; they turn your print into something to act on. Add one to a fundraising letter for easy RSVPs. Attach a discount card to a promotional flyer. Create a detachable referral card that patients or clients can pass along.

Small feature, big return.

3. Belly Bands: Because Details Matter

They’re not flashy. They’re not loud. But they elevate your print presentation instantly.

Belly bands are simple printed wraps that go around brochures, gift sets, booklets, and marketing kits. They hold pieces together while adding a layer of branded polish, kind of like a ribbon on a package.

Want your event materials to feel more curated? Wrap them in a belly band. Need to bundle a sales packet with a flyer and a promo card? Same thing. Add a logo, a short message, or even a variable name field for a personal touch.

Sometimes the “wow” isn’t about what’s inside; it’s about how it’s delivered.

4. Custom-Shaped Print: Goodbye, Rectangle

You know what doesn’t stand out in a stack of mail? More rectangles.

With the right dies, you can print pieces that are shaped like houses, coffee mugs, tools, animals, teeth—you name it. Die-cut print instantly makes your piece more memorable, even if the message inside stays simple. A lawncare company might send out a house-shaped postcard. A boutique might hand out purse-shaped promo cards at an event.

These don’t have to be wildly expensive or over-complicated. Sometimes a single curve or angle is enough to break up the routine and draw a second look.

5. Memo Pads: The Marketing That Sticks Around

If you’ve ever scribbled a to-do list on a branded notepad and stuck it on your fridge or desk for a week… well, that’s the point.

Custom memo pads might be one of the longest-lifespan print pieces out there. They’re functional, familiar, and often kept within arm’s reach. Use them as giveaways, leave-behinds, or handouts at networking events. Add your branding, contact info, and even a helpful message or checklist to tie it into your services.

One pad can equal dozens of impressions, and that’s a pretty good return for a simple sheet of paper.

Ready to Try Something Different?

If you’ve been reordering the same pieces year after year, consider this your invitation to shake things up. You don’t have to overhaul your marketing—you just need one fresh idea to open a new door.
