Does the Weight of Your Paper Matter? You Bet!

Did you know that the weight of the paper you use in your print marketing can impact how well your audience engages with your message? A high-quality, heavier weight paper creates a more positive image of your brand and increases the likelihood that your information will be shared with friends?
These findings come from a study funded by SAPPI North America and conducted by the Eagleman Lab, run by Dr. David Eagleman, well-known neuroscientist and director of the Baylor College of Medicine’s Laboratory for Perception and Action (as well as best-selling author and creator of PBS’ series, “The Brain”). In the study, participants read a brochure for fictitious companies on three different media: high-quality coated paper, lower-grade uncoated paper, and online. The design was similar for all three media, and the brochure for each company was randomly assigned a medium. The study found that four things occurred when participants read on high-quality paper:
UNDERSTOOD THE CONTENT BEST BY SIGNIFICANT MARGINS
REMEMBERED THE CONTENT BEST BY SIGNIFICANT MARGINS
HAD THE BEST IMPRESSIONS OF THE BRANDS THEY READ ABOUT
WERE MORE LIKELY TO RECOMMEND THOSE BRANDS TO FRIENDS
Even one week later, participants still preferred the companies they read about on high-quality paper, with name recall for those brands highest by a factor of 3:1.
These papers will cost more, of course, but for the right projects, especially those for which you have made significant investments in targeting and personalization, the message will be better anchored in recipients’ brains, and recipients will be more likely to spread the message to others than when reading on lower quality, lighter weight papers. This will make your marketing dollars go even further.

A closer examination of business workflows shows that contracts influence nearly every transaction. Understanding commercial contract management allows professionals to navigate these workflows with greater confidence. It highlights the importance of clear terms and accountability. This can improve communication between stakeholders. Providers like The College of Contract Management often reflect these principles.

When looking into further studies, one thing I noticed is how some institutions make learning feel fragmented. The College of Contract Management stands out because the modules feel connected and progressive. You’re not just jumping between topics without context.
