Mohawk Partners with Lawton Connect to Redefine the Scratch Off Printing Market

Mohawk, family owned paper makers since 1931, have entered into a strategic partnership with commercial printer Lawton Connect, family owned since 1900, to form Mr. Scratch Off LLC. This partnership has been formed around the introduction of an innovative new technology using HP Indigo printing to produce the first 4-color, scratch off printed products in the world.

Currently, printing for scratch off products uses single or multi-color printed images which are covered by a single-color fixed shape, applied with a flexographic press. This new capability allows both the scratch off area and the image beneath to be a multi-color print and fully variable from piece to piece; all using high resolution, HP Indigo printing. Here is an example of the difference between the old and new capability:

“We have been working on this breakthrough technology with HP Indigo for almost two years and are excited to partner with a company like Lawton Connect that shares our sustained commitment to family heritage and product innovation. This capability helps redefine scratch off printing as “reveal printing,” opening new ways for designers and marketers to embrace print as experiential engagement,” said Tom O’Connor Jr., Mohawk CEO.

“The full-color scratch off reveal is a custom experience like nothing we have seen before and the applications are endless,” said Ty Koon, Vice President of Lawton Connect. “Mohawk is a true innovation leader for the print industry and we are thrilled to partner with them to bring this cutting edge scratch-off enhancement to clients.”

Minuteman Press Franchise Owners Lynne and John Regas Show Print is Essential in Frankfort, Illinois (whattheythink.com)

As Lynne and John Regas approach five years in business, no year has been more defining for their Minuteman Press printing franchise than this one. “We both feel very fortunate that we were considered essential and were able to remain open during the COVID-19 pandemic, not only to be there for other local businesses and organizations, but to help us stay sane and keep working,” says Lynne. Since the beginning of the pandemic, Minuteman Press Frankfort has continued to provide high-demand products and services that have been critical in helping local businesses reach out to customers while promoting community solidarity. “Early on in the pandemic, we saw high demand for yard signs. We were able to supply local schools with graduation signs, and now those same school districts are coming back to us since it was so popular. Banners and flags have been in high demand from businesses who simply want to let customers know, ‘We’re Open.’ Restaurants have also come to us for takeout menus as they update their specials, menu items, and safe pickup and delivery options.”
