How to use print materials in the age of paperless offices
A lot has changed in the last decade, including the need to pay bills, post memos, or take notes only on paper. Given this state of affairs, what is the place of printed materials in your business? This post will walk you through a few use cases where printed documents still reign supreme — times when you can take advantage of a tool like Lucidpress.
Lucidpress is a layout and design tool that was built with both printed and paperless use cases in mind. In an era of transition, it’s important for your office to be comfortable communicating in both mediums. When you publish documents with our application, they’ll truly stand out.

Posters
Having a printed poster on the walls of your office can provide a quick visual reference point for your employees. Let’s say that you have quarterly goals for your company. Designing and printing an attractive poster will not only grab their attention, it means that they don’t have to dig through their storage services when they want to reference this document. Movies, bands, and community events like farmer’s markets still advertise with colorful printed posters because they work.
Booklets
If you’re planning a special event for your company, consider printing booklets. These are small, portable handouts that could provide a packing list for an event, directions to a company party, or orientation materials for new employees at a large organization. With Lucidpress, you can print your booklets from the office or at a print shop, and you can also share them digitally.
Business cards
If you’re looking for an easy-to-follow tutorial on how to make business cards for yourself or your team, check out this guide.

Brainstorming
Lucidchart is our sister product that’s dedicated to diagramming. If you’ve ever scrawled ideas on a legal pad, you know that having greater direction in your brainstorming can give you an advantage. Try printing out a mind map or a Venn diagram the next time your team is generating ideas.
Annual reports
Lucidpress has beautiful, accessible annual report templates. When you get your stakeholders around a table, having a print document to mark up, flip through, and reference will increase the quality of your presentation. If you need colleagues in different departments to weigh in on your report, Lucidpress makes it easy to collaborate in real time. Protect sensitive information by knowing there is one document where all changes are saved, and that you can set view and edit permissions for each contributor.
Lucidpress’s slogan is “Perfect for print. Dynamic for digital.” We’re dedicated to providing a flexible product that works for your business needs, online or off. You’ll notice that printed Lucidpress documents have crisp image quality, a variety of professional typefaces, and modern layouts.
