COVID-19 & Jag (& You)
It’s a weird time in the world right now, and things are changing constantly with regard to COVID-19 (or the Coronavirus), and how it is impacting both individuals, families, and businesses. Jeff & Sara both work from their respective homes, so it’s safe to say we’re self-isolating and social distancing with ease while still being […]

Business Cards: Splurge vs. Conserve
As distributors of printing, one of the most common items we produce — and get asked about by prospective clients — is business cards. They are a staple in our world, and are something everyone uses. Since we see so many business card designs — both for our clients and friends, and from strangers we […]
