Taktiful Unveils Taktical Training: Transforming Digital Embellishment Education

Empowering Printers with Digital Embellishment: The Launch of Taktical Training

In an era where print is constantly evolving to meet the demands of increasingly tactile, visually driven audiences, digital embellishment has emerged as one of the most transformative technologies in the industry. From shimmering foils to raised textures, these enhancements add a level of sophistication and impact that modern print buyers crave. Yet, for many printers, the promise of digital embellishment often comes with challenges: underutilized equipment, uncertain pricing strategies, and a struggle to connect the technology’s potential with customer demand.

That’s where Taktiful Software Solutions steps in. With the launch of Taktical Training, Taktiful aims to bridge the gap between cutting-edge embellishment technology and real-world business application. This new initiative offers tailored education for printers, helping them unlock the full capabilities of their digital presses, optimize their workflows, and confidently market their embellished products to clients.

Why Digital Embellishment Matters

The demand for tactile, visually compelling print products has grown exponentially. From luxury packaging to high-impact direct mail, embellishments like metallic foils, spot varnishes, and textured finishes have become crucial tools for brands looking to stand out. For printers, these enhancements not only elevate the aesthetic quality of their work but also open the door to premium pricing and higher-margin opportunities.

However, leveraging digital embellishment technology isn’t as simple as flipping a switch. It requires an understanding of design, production, pricing, and customer engagement strategies. Many printers invest in state-of-the-art equipment only to find that their teams lack the training or confidence to use it to its full potential. This results in missed opportunities, inefficiencies, and frustration.

Eric Vessels, Chief Experience Officer at Taktiful and the driving force behind Taktical Training, explains the core mission: “We’re not just teaching printers how to operate equipment; we’re showing them how to transform their presses into profit engines. Taktical Training is about turning potential into results.”

A Hands-On Approach to Learning

What sets Taktical Training apart is its practical, real-world approach. Printers aren’t just learning theory—they’re solving problems, optimizing workflows, and mastering strategies they can implement immediately.

The training includes a mix of interactive workshops, immersive bootcamps, and targeted sessions designed to address specific challenges. One standout feature is the incorporation of Google Lab’s Design Sprint methodology, a collaborative problem-solving approach that helps printers tackle their biggest hurdles in just a few focused days.

For those just starting out, Taktical Training offers an 8-Week Bootcamp that provides a comprehensive introduction to digital embellishments, covering everything from basic operations to design tips and customer engagement. For seasoned professionals, the 12-Week Masterclass dives deeper, exploring advanced techniques, production optimization, and high-level marketing strategies.

Every program is designed to help printers answer critical questions:

• How do I market embellished products to attract premium clients?

• How do I teach my sales people to successfully sell this output?

• What’s the best way to price these offerings to maximize profitability?

• How can I streamline production workflows for efficiency and quality?

Marketing and Selling the Value of Embellishment

One of the most significant hurdles for printers isn’t just mastering the technology—it’s selling the value of embellishments to customers. Taktical Training places a strong emphasis on helping printers communicate the benefits of these enhancements effectively.

Print buyers may recognize the visual appeal of embellishments, but they don’t always understand the return on investment. Whether it’s increasing brand recognition, driving customer engagement, or enhancing perceived value, embellishments have tangible impacts. Taktical Training equips printers with the tools to educate their clients, showcase ROI, and position embellishments as essential upgrades rather than optional extras.

Through practical exercises, participants learn how to:

• Craft compelling marketing materials that highlight the unique capabilities of embellishments.

• Create samples and prototypes to demonstrate the impact of enhanced print in a tactile, visual way.

• Position embellishments as solutions for specific business goals, such as increasing direct mail response rates or elevating product packaging.

Eric Vessels explains, “The key is helping printers and their customers see embellishments not just as decorative but as functional. When clients understand the value these enhancements bring, they’re not just willing to pay more—they’re eager to.”

Streamlining Production for Success

Beyond marketing and sales, the success of digital embellishments depends on efficient production workflows. Taktical Training guides printers through best practices for setup, estimation, and quality control, ensuring that every job runs smoothly and profitably. Participants gain insights into how to manage complex projects, troubleshoot common issues, and maintain consistent quality across runs.

This focus on production optimization ensures that printers can handle even the most intricate embellishment projects with confidence. By minimizing errors and maximizing efficiency, they can deliver exceptional results while maintaining healthy profit margins.
