One of our favorite experiences with Digiwrap custom printed tissue paper is hearing about how all of you creative people out there decide to use the product. We love all of the crafts and interesting things people decoupage, we’ve seen PR companies make tissue lanterns, and it’s been used in unique and custom wedding invitations. Recently, we had a customer send us one of the most remarkable uses of our tissue paper yet:

We asked the maker about it, and he said he makes "stick and tissue" retro rubber powered model airplanes—“FreeFlight.” He was interested in trying out Digiwrap tissue paper because of the ability to create a custom design. And we are glad he did—what a beauty!

We have created several step-by-step instructions for other interesting uses of custom tissue paper, including pinantas, cupcake toppers, wedding favor boxes, envelop liners, and more. Check out our simple tutorials for ideas!

When Downers Grove North called to ask if Charlie Williams, one of Digiwrap’s founders and an alum of the school, would come speak to students in the Entrepreneurship Course last May, he was more than happy to oblige—it was sure to be a far less intense experience than when he and co-founder Brad Boskovic swam with ABC’s sharks on a December episode of Shark Tank last year. Charlie was happy to return to his alma mater and share about the whirlwind experience.

When Williams attended school at North, he had no idea business would be in his future. Students found his speech totally inspiring and were excited to receive business advice from Williams and gain insight into his journey of appearing on Shark Tank.

“This was an incredible opportunity for North students to learn from a successful young entrepreneur. While students loved hearing about Charlie’s experience on Shark Tank, this was an opportunity for students to make a connection with an entrepreneur who was walking the same hallways only a few years earlier,” said Entrepreneurship teacher, Drew Himes.

With advancements in technology, the print design industry is changing all the time. We love thinking of new and interesting ways print can be used as digital printing capabilities expand. Sabine Lenz, the Paper Queen of Paperspecs, a magazine about the power of print design, recently hosted a webinar discussing the Top 5 Print Design Trends of 2017. We were honored to be featured as she discussed Trend 5: Make It Personal!

In the clip featured here, you can start at 35:45 to hear about why it’s important to “Make It Personal” when you are printing something. As you know, with custom tissue gift wrap and gift bags that you can print in quantities starting at 1, Digiwrap is all about making things personal!
