What We Offer:

Banners & Posters - Banners and posters are dynamic, large-format marketing solutions engineered to command attention in any environment. Crafted from durable materials like weather-resistant vinyl, fade-proof fabrics, or lightweight mesh, they thrive in high-traffic areas such as storefronts, trade shows, stadiums, and city streets. Perfect for time-sensitive promotions, seasonal sales, or brand storytelling, their bold typography, high-resolution graphics, and strategic color contrasts ensure instant readability from distances of 50+ feet. Customize with grommets, pole pockets, or retractable stands for effortless installation. From sidewalk sale announcements to corporate event backdrops, these versatile tools blend artistic impact with functional longevity, turning passive viewers into engaged customers.
Brochures & Collateral - Brochures and collateral materials are the cornerstone of sophisticated, information-driven marketing. Imagine textured, 100lb gloss paper stock folded into sleek tri-fold designs, or luxe saddle-stitched booklets with spot UV accents that shimmer under light. These pieces aren’t just handouts—they’re tactile brand experiences. Use them to showcase product catalogs with die-cut windows, embed QR codes linking to demo videos, or create tear-away coupons for lead generation. Ideal for real estate portfolios, healthcare education, or nonprofit annual reports, they combine editorial precision with visual flair. We optimize every element: bleed margins for seamless trimming, Pantone color matching for brand consistency, and eco-friendly inks for environmentally conscious clients. Leave digital noise behind—these materials linger in hands, desks, and memories.
Targeted Direct Mail - Targeted Direct Mail® is precision marketing reimagined. Leverage advanced demographic data to reach hyper-specific audiences: think new homeowners receiving welcome kits, pet owners getting groomer coupons, or luxury car enthusiasts mailed embossed VIP invites. Our process integrates variable data printing to personalize each piece—names, locations, even tailored offers—while maintaining bulk efficiency. Choose from eye-catching formats: oversized postcards with scratch-off discounts, trifold mailers with built-in reply cards, or textured envelopes housing handwritten-style letters. Geofencing technology syncs with digital ads to reinforce your message across platforms. With a 29% higher response rate than email, this service turns mailboxes into conversion engines. Track ROI via unique URLs or call tracking numbers, and watch your campaign evolve in real time.
Business cards - Business cards are your pocket-sized ambassadors. At MSE Printing, we go beyond the basics to deliver premium cards that are tactile, memorable, and brand-defining. Choose from ultra-thick cardstocks, soft-touch lamination, or layered duplex designs with painted edges for maximum impact. Add dimension with foil stamping, embossing, or letterpress textures that speak volumes before a word is exchanged. We also offer eco-friendly recycled options and digital NFC cards that link directly to your portfolio or contact form. Whether you're meeting a prospect at a networking event or slipping a card into packaging, these miniature canvases make a major impression—representing your professionalism in every detail.
Premium & Private Labels - Premium and private labels are your silent sales force on shelves. Imagine cold-press essential oil bottles adorned with gold foil-stamped minimalist designs, or craft chocolate bars wrapped in matte-finish paper with debossed logos. We specialize in luxury substrates: clear-on-clear labels for a 'floating' effect, metallic holographic films for limited editions, or waterproof synthetic materials for spa products. Go beyond aesthetics with smart labels featuring NFC chips for authenticity verification or augmented reality triggers. For private labels, we ensure seamless OEM integration—perforated tear strips, tamper-evident seals, or FDA-compliant adhesive for food safety. Whether it’s boutique skincare lines or bulk industrial parts tagging, these labels don’t just identify—they elevate perceived value, justify price premiums, and turn commodities into collectibles.
Postcards & Direct Mailers - Postcards and direct mailers are compact, high-impact tools perfect for promotions, grand openings, appointment reminders, or product launches. Designed for immediate engagement, these pieces combine strategic copy with bold visuals to capture attention in seconds. Choose from matte or gloss finishes, rounded corners, or premium textures like soft-touch coating. Variable data printing personalizes each card, increasing open rates and conversions. Add tear-away coupons, QR codes, or custom perforations for added interactivity. Whether mailing to a local zip code or across the nation, our targeted mailing services ensure your message lands in the right hands—fast, focused, and unforgettable.
Greeting Cards - Greeting cards bring a personal, heartfelt touch to professional communication. Ideal for holidays, thank-you notes, customer appreciation, or milestone celebrations, these cards elevate client relationships and boost brand warmth. Choose from elegant linen textures, foil-embellished designs, or custom die-cuts that reflect your company’s aesthetic. Personalize with handwritten fonts, custom messages, or include a business insert to blend formality with flair. We offer matching envelopes, sealing options, and fulfillment services to save you time during seasonal outreach. More than just a folded piece of cardstock, these cards foster loyalty, spark emotion, and show clients they matter—long after the sale.

Advanced Features for Superior Digital Printing

Customization & Finishing Options

Digital printing unlocks hyper-personalization through integrated VDP (Variable Data Printing) technology. Merge CRM data with dynamic templates to create unique versions for each recipient—personalized maps showing the nearest store location, individualized promo codes based on purchase history, or localized imagery reflecting neighborhood landmarks. For nonprofits, append donor-specific impact statistics to annual appeals; for educators, auto-generate workshop certificates with attendee names and dates. Our XML-driven workflows even pull real-time social media content into designs, allowing user-generated photos to appear in printed catalogs. This granular customization achieves 35% higher conversion rates than static prints by making every recipient feel exclusively valued.

Paper Stock - Choose from 200+ substrate options tailored to project goals: 100lb gloss cover for vibrant photo books, 24pt uncoated kraft for rustic wedding invites, or 80lb text-weight vellum for translucent menu overlays. Specialty stocks include FSC-certified recycled papers with visible fibers, tear-resistant synthetic YUPO for outdoor applications, and magnetic-backed sheets for reusable signage. Our consultants match textures, opacity, and weight to usage scenarios—durable 14pt satin for frequent-handling restaurant menus, or delicate 70lb linen for luxury stationery.
Finishing Touches - Elevate prints with tactile and visual enhancements: soft-touch aqueous coating for premium business cards, spot UV accents that create 3D relief patterns, or diamond-grade prismatic foil that shifts colors under light. Die-cutting services transform standard shapes into custom silhouettes—perforated coupon tear-offs, peekaboo windows for product samples, or geometric patterns for avant-garde art books. For structural innovation, explore our Zünd-cut acrylic stands or pressure-sensitive adhesive backings for instant installation.
Binding Styles - Match binding methods to document function: lay-flat perfect binding for 300-page catalogs using PUR adhesive, concealed wire-o spines for executive presentations, or Japanese stab stitching for artisanal lookbooks. Short-run options include thermal tape binding for prototype manuals or removable comb bindings for workshop materials. We engineer for durability—reinforced Smyth-sewn signatures for heirloom books, or spiral-bound manuals with polypropylene covers for jobsite ruggedness.
Custom Sizes & Formats - Break free from standard dimensions with our wide-format capabilities. Print panoramic wall murals up to 10ft wide, miniature 1.5”x2” hang tags for boutique products, or irregular shapes like die-cut animal silhouettes for zoo signage. Multi-panel projects might include accordion-fold timelines, gatefold annual reports with pocket inserts, or modular banner systems that rearrange graphics for multi-location campaigns.

On-Demand Printing for Flexibility

Digital printing revolutionizes scalability with its agile production model. Unlike traditional offset methods requiring plate changes and lengthy setup, our advanced inkjet and laser systems enable seamless transitions between jobs—print 50 brochures today and 500 posters tomorrow with identical precision. This adaptability empowers businesses to respond to real-time market demands: test regional campaign variations, update pricing dynamically, or refresh evergreen materials with seasonal imagery. Reduce warehousing costs by eliminating bulk inventory risks, and minimize environmental impact through just-in-time printing. For startups, nonprofits, or enterprises launching limited-edition collaborations, this flexibility ensures every print run aligns perfectly with evolving goals and budgets.

FAQs About Digital Printing in Minneapolis

Q: What is digital printing best for?

A: Digital printing excels at small to medium runs, personalized marketing pieces, variable data projects, and jobs requiring rapid completion. Its toner- and inkjet-based systems eliminate plate costs, making it ideal for prototyping, A/B testing campaigns, or producing time-sensitive materials like event programs, limited-edition packaging, or real estate brochures with market-specific pricing. The technology also supports last-minute edits, ensuring your materials always reflect the most current information.

Q: How does digital printing compare to offset printing?

A: Digital printing offers faster setup (minutes vs. days), lower costs for sub-500 unit quantities, and easy customization through variable data workflows. Offset printing remains superior for ultra-high-volume runs (10,000+ units) requiring exact Pantone color matches, specialty inks like metallics, or intricate finishes that require custom plates. Digital excels in agility; offset wins on bulk pricing for static designs. Hybrid solutions exist—we often use digital for personalized shell materials paired with offset-printed inserts.

Q: Can I print variable data with digital printing?

A: Absolutely! Variable data printing (VDP) is a hallmark of digital technology. We integrate CRM data to personalize every element: addresses, names, QR codes linked to individual landing pages, or even localized imagery (e.g., showing a recipient’s nearest store location). Advanced workflows allow dynamic image swapping—a car dealership might showcase different vehicle models based on the recipient’s browsing history. VDP boosts response rates by 30-50% compared to generic mailers.

Q: Do you offer design assistance for digital printing projects?

A: Yes—our design team specializes in optimizing files for digital’s unique requirements. We’ll adjust color profiles for consistent results across substrates, create bleeds for seamless trimming, and recommend vector-based graphics to maintain sharpness. For variable data projects, we build modular templates that auto-populate content from your spreadsheets or APIs. Need inspiration? We’ll provide mockups showcasing interactive elements like scratch-off panels, fold-out maps, or NFC-enabled tags that bridge print and digital experiences.

Q: How accurate are colors in digital printing?

A: Modern digital presses achieve remarkable color fidelity using advanced calibration systems. Our Canon imagePRESS and HP Indigo machines utilize spectrophotometers for real-time color adjustments, matching 98% of Pantone colors. For mission-critical brand accuracy, we offer press-side proofs and G7 Master Certification workflows. While metallics and fluorescents still require offset/screen printing hybrids, we simulate metallic effects via proprietary foiling techniques and high-opacity white ink layers.

Q: Is digital printing environmentally sustainable?

A: Digital printing can be surprisingly eco-friendly. We use soy-based toners, VOC-free inks, and FSC-certified recycled papers. On-demand production reduces waste—no excess inventory rotting in warehouses. Our equipment features energy-saving modes, and we recycle 100% of paper trimmings. For carbon-neutral projects, we partner with TerraPass to offset emissions. Compared to offset’s chemical-heavy plate processing, digital’s cleaner process aligns with LEED certification requirements.

Q: What materials can be used with digital printing?

A: Beyond standard paper, we print on 200+ substrates: synthetic waterproof materials for outdoor menus, tear-resistant Tyvek for construction site signage, textured linen stocks for luxury invitations, and even adhesive-backed vinyl for wall decals. Specialty options include magnetic sheets for reusable promotions, translucent vellum for layered designs, and biodegradable seed paper for plantable marketing materials. Consult our team to match materials to your project’s durability and aesthetic needs.

Q: What proofing options are available?

A: We provide multiple proofing tiers: 1) Digital PDF proofs with color bars for basic approval; 2) Hardcopy proofs on actual substrate using our Epson SureColor proofers (95% color accuracy); 3) Press sheets from the final machine for exact color matching. For variable data jobs, we generate sample batches showing personalized fields. Rush projects can opt for ‘virtual proofs’ using calibrated monitors under controlled lighting. All proofs include trim and bleed marks for precision.

Q: Can digital printing include security features?

A: Yes—our digital workflow supports embedded security features. Options include microtext (visible under magnification), invisible UV-reactive inks for authentication, QR codes with encrypted data, and holographic foil accents applied via in-line finishing. For sensitive documents, we offer numbered sequencing, tamper-evident seals, and watermark patterns. Pharmaceutical clients often pair these with scratch-off dosage information or NFC chips for supply chain verification.
