Fur Real: Smartpress Pets Review Custom Print Products

“I’m all about that laid back life, so when I felt the Soft Touch laminate on this branded folder, I instantly knew it was something I could just chill on for hours – it has this suede-like feel that’s almost as soft as me. I like to push my toys into the gusset pocket (huh, gusset is a funny word… ), but my human says it’s perfect for the free print samples Smartpress sends out, and I’m like, ‘Cool, man, to each their own.’”
– Darth Vader, American Shorthair

“Unlike my brother, I prefer custom printing products that I can actually use, which is why these playing cards are purrfect. How do I use them? By scooting them around and making a general mess in front of the fireplace, of course. As I like the finer things in life, their textured linen stock is a dream on my beans. I will be sternly informing my marketing mama when it’s time to order a new deck. (But these are very durable, so it’ll be a while before that happens.)”
– Mace Windu, American Shorthair

“This stocking cap is so soft and cozy – two of my favorite things. Plus, it shows off my copywriting human’s brand, which is apparently important to her. It has an oversized fit on me, but it’s offset by my barrel chest.

“A couple drawbacks: 1) It does slow me down when I’m chasing backyard bunnies. BRB, one just ran by the window… OK, I’m back. 2) It falls off when my dad gives me a belly rub, which is about a hundred times a day because I’m such a good boy. Still, I give it five snorts.”
– Ulysses, Boston Terrier

“As the self-proclaimed king of naps, I require a very specific environment, and this table throw fits the royal bill. It’s made of soft knit fabric that’s produced using cleaner energy and 90% less water than Smartpress’ competitors (I may be a judgemental monarch, but even I can’t scoff at that).

“My servant, er, I mean my ERP administrator human, thinks it’s nice that custom print products like this feature dye sublimation printing so her graphics look really stunning. But actually, the only thing stunning around here is me.”
– Spike, Fancy Bearded Dragon

“I’m proud to say my project manager human works for an online printer with eco-friendly options, so these postcards made with Kraft paper couldn’t be better – or better tasting! Made from 100% recycled content with 30% from post-consumer waste, Kraft postcards are the ideal sustainable snack for me and the ideal way for my human to send a sustainable marketing message.

“When I told my goat friends in the pasture our human was designing custom print products that were easy on the environment, they were so excited, they couldn’t be-leat their ears!”
– Zorro, Llama

Care about recycled paper stocks as much as Zorro? Here are some more.

“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Water-resistance is everything. As an expert in the field, I can say for sure this waterproof menu holds up beautifully in my home (even when I’m splashing around in my water dish).

“My human’s a project coordinator and he easily wipes it clean with a non-abrasive cloth. And while this one’s just my size, they can be customized for anyone’s home… or these other places I’ve heard of called restaurants and salons. Now please excuse me, it’s nighttime and I must get back to my singing.”
– Rhubarb, Australian White’s Tree Frog

“I’m chatty by nature, but that doesn’t mean I’m a natural networker. Thanks to these business cards and Smartpress’ online printing services, I’m as confident as my colors! No more chit-chatting with myself in the mirror – now I’m chit-chatting with the whole animal kingdom (or the whole house, at least).

“My human works in HR and likes to let the premium paper stock and protective coating do the talking, but I like to speak for myself (and for her, and sometimes over the TV).”
– Bob (aka Bob Marley), Parakeet

Here’s your inspo for what to put on a business card. (Bob probably has some ideas, too).

“This roll end box is the perfect size for me! My human, who’s an ERP administrator, loves that she can design it with branded colors, logos and graphics and then print online in just a few clicks. But the best part? It comes in three sizes, so if I keep growing or just overdo it on the tomatoes, I’ll still have a place to cuddle up in.”
– Celeste, Abyssinian Guinea Pig

“I like how easy this box is to secure – all my human has to do is fold it on the scoring lines and tuck. Then I can sit on top of it like it’s my very own stage and be the star of the cage (I have a penchant for singing to anyone who visits).”
– Daisy, Abyssinian Guinea Pig

“As a six-year-old, I’ve had my fair share of instances with the so-called Cone of Shame, and I have to tell you, this one is by far the best. It’s about time those humans finally thought, ‘Pet cones, but make it fashion.’

“They’re customizable by size and design, so I can match my project manager mom as we cause a sensation tippy-tapping down the street. And bonus, it helps me catch the ball when my dad throws it to me in the backyard. Style and substance, much?”
– Pepper (aka Pepperoni), Pembroke Welsh Corgi
