Read the full breakdown

MCRL’s first informational webinar, recorded during National Small Business Week, was built for creators planning their next planner or journal. It opens with a short introduction to MCRL and to offset printing, then spends most of its hour on examples.

The main sections walk through cover materials (including eco-friendly options), binding styles and how they affect use, decorating finishes and fun features, stickers, add-ons, and custom gift boxes carrying your own branding. Each is shown on products MCRL has printed, so you can see how a choice looks in hand rather than on a spec sheet.

The session closes with practical next steps: what you get when you print with MCRL, where to start if you want to print planners to sell, how to get design help, and a live Q&A with the audience.
