[The Foil Hack - Part 1 of 3] We tried to reverse-engineer the most expensive print effect on the market. 🛑🕵️‍♂️

If you are a print shop owner or graphic designer, stop scrolling.

Here is exactly what happened when we put our scrappy shop gear to the ultimate test.

We recently saw an INCREDIBLE software-driven metallic system online. It creates flawless, industry-leading effects using special white ink and dedicated software. It is an absolutely top-tier solution and we massively respect the tech behind it. 🙌

But we love a good shop challenge. We wanted to see if we could achieve a SIMILAR metallic look manually for smaller runs using the printers we already own. 🛠️💡

In Part 1 of this experiment, we printed black toner, sleeked it with silver foil, and then used an OKI printer to drop white toner on top. The goal was to use the white ink to block out the shine, then lay CMYK color over the entire sheet to create a custom metallic finish. 🖨️✨

Honestly? The result was just okay. It definitely looked metallic, but it lacked that crazy, vibrant pop we were chasing. The colors felt a little muddy and did not have that high-end premium depth. 🤷‍♂️

But this was just our first attempt, and the next phase of the experiment gets WILD. You can watch the entire journey and see the jaw-dropping final result right now using the link below! 👇

🏆 A small Canadian print company. Our first year entering. Ranked ahead of entries from some of the biggest names in global print and packaging.

At the 2026 FSEA Gold Leaf Awards, bigDAWGS earned:

🥇 2 Gold Awards
🥈 2 Silver Awards
🥉 3 Bronze Awards
🏅 7 awards in total

That tied us for the greatest number of awards won by any entrant.

Using total awards, followed by Gold, Silver and Bronze as tiebreakers, bigDAWGS finished #1 in our independent medal-count ranking compiled from FSEA’s published category results.

But the scale of this achievement becomes even clearer when you look at some of the internationally recognized organizations whose entries ranked below us:

📦 Graphic Packaging International — 2 awards
A global packaging corporation with approximately US$8.6 billion in 2025 sales, more than 23,000 employees and over 100 packaging facilities.

🖨️ RRD — R.R. Donnelley — 1 award
One of the world’s most established printing and communications companies, with more than 35,000 employees in 30 countries and clients that include 92% of the Fortune 100.

🏷️ Multi-Color Corporation — 6 awards
A global leader in premium labels and packaging, with approximately US$3 billion in annual revenue.

💌 Hallmark Cards — 2 awards
One of the world’s most recognizable greeting-card and gift brands, employing more than 20,000 people worldwide and reaching consumers in over 100 countries.

💌 American Greetings — 3 awards
A globally recognized social-expression company whose brands include American Greetings, Papyrus and Carlton Cards.

🎓 Jostens — 6 awards
A 125-year-old organization known throughout North America for yearbooks, class rings and recognition products for thousands of schools and universities.

⚙️ Duplo USA Corporation — 2 awards
One of the graphic-arts industry’s most recognizable print-finishing equipment companies, operating in the United States since 1979.

This is not about diminishing any of these exceptional organizations.

Their size, history and reputation are exactly what make the comparison so meaningful.

It demonstrates that focused expertise, creativity, technical skill and determination can compete with global scale.

🇨🇦 Our Canadian team competed alongside entries from billion-dollar corporations, household brands and some of the most established organizations in print—and finished at the top of the medal-count standings.

To the entire bigDAWGS team: this is your achievement.

And we are just getting started. 🚀

Which matters more in specialty print today: company size or focused technical expertise? 👇

I went from writing computer code to putting annoying audio chips inside direct mail campaigns. 🗣️🤯 Tech founders and print innovators, you need to hear this origin story. Here is what happens when you try to explain "Phygital" to Morten B. Reitoft.

Morten is a master at pulling out the real stories on INKISH, and we had a hilarious time trying to figure out how to even introduce me.

I started out as a hardcore tech guy, but I ended up falling completely in love with print.

During our chat, Morten joked about my early days creating what he called "two-bit very bad audio chips in birthday cards." But those little chips actually led to one of our biggest, most disruptive campaigns ever for a major telecom company.

We used a physical piece of mail to mock automated phone trees. You have to hear the story of how much chaos it caused.

👇 Watch this clip to see Morten's reaction, and check out our full INKISH interview below!

📊 Unignorable ROI: While your competition fights for inbox scraps, Video-in-Print brochures are pulling up to 90% response rates in high-stakes B2B ABM.

You aren't selling a service anymore. You are delivering a premium, multi-sensory experience right to their desk.

🛑 SLOWING DOWN YOUR PRESS WORKS WONDERS... UP TO A POINT. 🛑

ATTN: Print Production Managers.

We know that slowing down the fuser speed fixes toner adhesion on heavy stocks. But what happens when a client brings you a job that is just ridiculously, impossibly thick?

No amount of on-press tweaking is going to save you.

Every digital press has physical, mechanical limits. If you try to force a sheet that is wildly over-spec through the internal gears and transfer belts of your machine, you aren't going to get a bad print—you are going to get a critical hardware stoppage.

Watch the video to see where the physical limits actually lie.

👇 Have you ever jammed a press by pushing media that was too thick?

🚨 Marketers, Print Pros, and Agency Owners: I shared a direct mail piece during my presentation at the FSEA Digital Embellishment Conference in Nashville that was so intense, I couldn’t show it.

If your marketing collateral doesn't punch your audience right in the gut, you are wasting your client's money.

During my talk, we showcased an awareness project for domestic violence.

The client didn't just send a flyer. They sent a sound mailer containing an actual, live 911 call from a 6-year-old girl reporting a domestic violence incident.

Hearing her cry and scream for a full minute... it was incredibly tough to program. It was even tougher to receive.

Why did it work? Because print is no longer just visual.

Here is the exact formula we use at bigDAWGS to guarantee a campaign is unforgettable:

👉 Embellishments (texture, sound, light) create an EXPERIENCE.

👉 Experiences create EMOTIONS.

👉 Emotions create an IMPACT.

👉 Impact cements the MEMORY.

If you aren't engaging the senses—through touch, sound, or sight—you are just sending paper into the recycling bin.

How are you engineering emotion into your next campaign?

VP OF SALES: The modern enterprise inbox is a graveyard, and your SDRs are burning out.

B2B cold email reply rates have flatlined at an abysmal 5.1%.

Your reps are losing massive six-figure deals to an invisible AI firewall.

The enterprise inbox is no longer managed by humans. It is managed by strict algorithmic thresholds and AI summarization tools that ruthlessly delete mass-produced text.

🛑 THE INBOX REALITY 🛑

❌ 17 percent of cold emails are blocked entirely by server-level algorithmic firewalls.

❌ Executive Assistants instantly discard standard, mass-produced flat mail.

❌ Your digital sequences lack the psychological friction required to book discovery calls.

✅ THE DESK OVERRIDE ✅

🚀 Bypass the digital firewall entirely with dimensional sales collateral and premium packaging.

🚀 Spot UV and raised tactile coatings physically override human gatekeepers.

🚀 Dimensional mailers generate a massive 337 percent performance lift over flat outreach.

Equip your reps with the physical leverage that AI emails cannot unlock.

Hello fans of bigDAWGS®.

Recently, we have had many spam comments from whom we believe is or connected to a former employee. This person has been trolling us on LinkedIn and Facebook, posting claims that we completely disagree with. The former employee's case was dismissed by the PH Department of Labor (see letter here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XXqKOSpWFWrOCyRLNpLz4DBrZ3w_TWkh/view?usp=sharing).

We also found substantial evidence that this former employee had been working two or more jobs as well as operating a company during work hours for the past 1-2 years. We had even reached out to one of the companies they were promoting during their work hours with us, and suspect they had been double-dipping with remote work with different companies. We are in the process of gathering additional evidence.

On LinkedIn, they are currently posting under a company page EnDigitize (https://www.linkedin.com/company/endigitize/)

We are looking for anyone with any knowledge to help us with our investigation. We are considering pursuing charges and legal action as they have been possibly defrauding us (and others) for possibly years.

Please let me know if anyone sees anything online that could be from EnDigitize or these many other fake profiles (https://docs.google.com/document/d/12yj1Lsl43XbTJjpHZN9dp1iIsKGnsbWIQ6g7v_1wodE/edit?usp=drive_link)

Finally, thanks to all of our fans who drive us to continue making waves in both the Phygital and Print Embellishment industries.

🖨️ FOR MY PRINT NETWORK: PSPs, Suppliers, & OEMs (Especially my connections at Fujifilm and Xerox) 🖨️

Imagine having a literal "license to print money"—and then watching your market disappear.

Here is Part 2 of my educational case study on the Fuji-Xerox corporate divorce. 👇

Back in the day, the Fuji-Xerox joint venture was untouchable. Fuji engineered the mechanical guts in Asia, and Xerox sold them across the US and Europe.

But then the digital age hit hard. Offices went paperless, and revenues stalled out.

Here is how the breakup went down:

💥 In 2018, Fujifilm attempted a $6.1 billion takeover. 💥

👨‍💼 Famous Wall Street raider Carl Icahn stepped in and hated the deal. 👨‍💼

🚪 By 2021, the 59-year partnership was completely terminated. 🚪

Watch Part 2 to see how the greatest partnership in print fell apart. 🎥
