Try adding foil printing if this can fit in your budget. Foil accents can help your items stand out and get noticed quickly.
4 Different Size Fonts

Use more than one font size so text does not all have a uniform appearance. Larger headlines, bullet points, and small blocks of text will help set your materials apart.
5 Choose the Right Paper Stock
