Custom Postcards & Direct Mailers Start My Quote The High-Impact Marketing Piece That Never Goes Unopened In direct mail marketing, the battle is usually won or lost before the envelope is even opened. With a postcard, you win by default. Your message, offer, or beautiful imagery is delivered instantly into your prospect's hands, guaranteeing 100% visibility the moment they check their mailbox. We produce commercial-grade postcards that are built to survive the postal stream and arrive looking pristine. From short-run digital prints for a local event to high-volume offset runs for regional saturation, we offer the thickest stocks and sharpest print quality to ensure your brand stands out in the stack. Why Postcards Are the ROI King Lowest Postage Rates: Postcards qualify for some of the most affordable mailing rates available, including First Class Postcard rates and Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM). Immediate Action: Because the offer is visible immediately, postcards drive faster response rates than sealed mail. A compelling headline or a QR code on the front can drive traffic to your website in seconds. Dual-Purpose Utility: A high-quality postcard isn't just a mailer; it’s a versatile handout. Use the same print run for street team distribution, trade show flyers, or box stuffers. Popular Applications Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM): Oversized cards (like 6.5" x 9") that saturate specific postal routes—perfect for pizza shops, landscapers, and grand openings. Real Estate Farming: "Just Listed" and "Just Sold" cards to dominate a neighborhood. Appointment Reminders: Durable cards for dentists, optometrists, and service centers. Retail Coupons: Glossy redemption cards that customers hold onto. Technical Specifications Standard Sizes: 4" x 6" (Standard Postcard Rate). 5" x 7" or 5.5" x 8.5" (High visibility). 6" x 9" or 6" x 11" (Oversized/EDDM eligible). Stock: Rigid 14pt or 16pt Cardstock (Standard), or Extra-Thick 18pt+. Finishes: UV High Gloss (Front): Makes photos pop and protects against mail sorter scuffs. Matte/Uncoated (Back): Essential for inkjet addressing or handwriting notes. Mailing Services: We offer full CASS certification, NCOA (change of address) processing, and intelligent mail barcoding to get you the lowest postage rates.

Custom Door Hangers Start My Quote Hyper-Local Marketing That Customers Can’t Ignore In an age of digital noise and overflowing inboxes, the most effective way to reach a local customer is often the most direct: right at their front door. A door hanger is the only form of advertising that guarantees a physical interaction. Your prospect has to touch it to remove it, ensuring 100% visibility for your message. We print commercial-grade door hangers designed for canvassing campaigns, service notifications, and neighborhood saturation. Unlike flimsy home-printed flyers that blow away or wilt in humidity, our hangers are produced on heavy cardstock with protective coatings to withstand the elements until the homeowner arrives. Why Door Hangers Work Precise Geo-Targeting: You don't need to buy a mailing list. Door hangers allow you to target specific streets, subdivisions, or gated communities. It is the ultimate tool for "radius marketing"—advertising to the neighbors of a current job site. Cost-Effective Reach: With no postage costs, door hangers offer one of the lowest costs per impression in print marketing. They are ideal for high-volume canvassing. Immediate "Proof of Service": For service businesses like landscapers or pool maintenance, a branded hanger serves as a professional notification that the job was completed, while doubling as a marketing piece for passersby. Popular Applications Home Services: Roofing, landscaping, HVAC, and pest control offers. Political Campaigning: "Get Out the Vote" canvassing and candidate profiles. Real Estate: "Just Listed" or "Open House" invitations for the immediate neighborhood. Restaurants: Takeout menus and grand opening coupons. Technical Specifications Standard Sizes: 3.5" x 8.5", 4.25" x 11", and Jumbo 5.5" x 17". Die-Cutting: Standard "Arch" cut with a universal slit to fit securely on any doorknob handle. Stock: Rigid 14pt or 16pt Cardstock (prevents curling). Finishes: UV High Gloss (recommended for weather resistance) or Matte/Dull finish.

Brochures and Flyers Start My Quote The Versatile Workhorses of Your Marketing Toolkit In a digital world, a physical brochure or sell sheet remains one of the most effective ways to close a sale. It is the tangible "leave-behind" that keeps your brand in the room long after the meeting ends. Whether you need a quick, high-impact flyer for a trade show or a detailed, multi-panel brochure to explain a complex service, these tools bridge the gap between interest and action. We produce crisp, professional marketing collateral that reflects the quality of your business. Forget the flimsy, curled edges of home-printed handouts. We use commercial-grade stocks and precision folding equipment to ensure every piece looks sharp, lies flat, and feels substantial in your client’s hand. Why Professional Brochures Win Business Structured Storytelling: A well-designed brochure guides the reader through your pitch logically—from the hook on the cover, to the details on the inside panels, to the call-to-action on the back. The "Thud" Factor: A sell sheet printed on heavy 100lb gloss cover stock lands on a desk with authority. It implies that your product is established and valuable. Crisp, Clean Folds: Nothing ruins a brochure faster than a cracked, uneven fold. Our bindery equipment ensures razor-sharp creases that don't crack the ink, keeping your images seamless across panels. Popular Applications Tri-Fold Brochures: The classic format for service menus, travel guides, and general company overviews. Sell Sheets (One-Siders): High-gloss product specification sheets for sales kits. Half-Fold (Bi-Fold): ideal for event programs, comparison charts, and simple newsletters. Gate-Fold: A dramatic "open the doors" reveal, perfect for architectural real estate or luxury product launches.

Paper Stocks: 100lb Gloss Book: The standard for brochures; flexible but high quality. 100lb Gloss Cover: A thicker, card-like feel for premium sell sheets. 80lb Matte Text: Glare-free and writable. Folding Options: Tri-Fold (Letter), Z-Fold, Half-Fold, Gate-Fold, and Double-Parallel. Coatings: Aqueous (AQ) for standard protection, or UV Gloss for high-impact shine.

Unlike sheet labels, roll labels are designed for speed, allowing for rapid hand-peeling or seamless integration with automated labeling machinery. We produce durable, vibrant labels that withstand the rigors of shipping, retail shelves, and refrigerated environments. With precision die-cutting, we can produce any shape you need—from standard circles and rectangles to custom contours that hug your product's design. Why Choose Roll Labels?

Material Durability: We offer robust stocks, including Polypropylene (BOPP), that resist moisture, oil, and tearing—essential for food, beverage, and cosmetic products.

It is an authoritative platform for storytelling, industry news, and lifestyle content that readers physically bring into their homes and offices.

We produce newsstand-quality magazines that rival national publications.

Hagg Press enables you to do that directly from our website. To transfer the files from your computer to that web server, a special protocol (transfer method) is used: FTP – the File Transfer Protocol. This protocol was designed to be able to handle big files; it can for example resume a transfer if it was interrupted in the middle. Logging In Enter FTP.HAGGPRESS.COM for the FTP server, your username and password. The FTP server name must be “FTP.HAGGPRESS.COM”. If you don’t have your username and password yet, CONTACT US .

There is one column on the left to upload files, and there can also be a right column to upload-and-unzip archives. Click on the Browse button to specify which file on your computer you want to upload or upload-and-unzip to the FTP server. Once you are ready to start the upload, click on the GREEN check button. The result screen will tell you if the upload was successful or not. There is a 100mb limit at this time. Downloading a file or folder To download a file, simply click on its filename. To zip-and-download files and directories, select them on the Browse Screen and click on Download. The directories and their contents will be retrieved and zipped. A popup window will ask you where you would like to save the Zip file on your computer. Note that if the files inside are too big, the script will timeout and you won’t be able to download anything.

Annual Reports & Corporate Booklets Start My Quote Tell Your Company’s Story with Authority and Elegance An annual report is more than just a requirement; it is the definitive statement of your organization’s health, achievements, and vision. Whether it lands on the desk of a major investor, a donor, or a board member, the physical quality of the report sets the stage for the data inside. A professionally printed report signals stability, transparency, and attention to detail. We produce high-end annual reports that honor the hard work of your team. From the crispness of the financial tables to the vibrancy of the impact photography, we ensure every page turns with a sense of importance. We bridge the gap between necessary financial data and compelling brand storytelling. Why Professional Printing Matters for Reports Stakeholder Confidence: A flimsy, stapled document can subconsciously suggest a lack of resources. A perfect-bound book with a soft-touch cover and heavy text weight pages feels substantial and permanent in the hand. Data Clarity: Financials require precision. Our high-resolution offset and digital presses ensure that even the smallest footnotes and finest grid lines on your charts are sharp and legible. Color Accuracy: Your brand colors—and your charts—must be consistent. We use advanced color management to ensure the "green" on your revenue chart matches your logo perfectly.
