The Ultimate Guide to Custom Printing Services in Edmonton
If you’re in Edmonton, working with a local Edmonton printer seems like a good idea. But why not just use some anonymous online company? Isn’t it cheaper? Is print just print? Well there are couple of reasons you want to print local and we think they’re pretty compelling.
Custom Service
With most print jobs there are many options to choose from - from stock and sizes & bindery options to finishes and run lengths. When you're choosing how to launch your brand, build a direct mail campaign or create a lasting impression with your money generic online companies who aren’t local don't offer the same services, such as:
Feedback or suggestions about stock choice/quantity
Samples to help you make better informed choices
Ideas on where you could or should deploy in Edmonton
Allowing you to piggyback on existing dies or unique offerings.
Letting you know the best way to produce exactly what you want! (Cost vs Value)
Working with a local printing partner means you’re not guessing - you’re getting informed guidance at every step.
Because we understand local demographics, we can help you target smarter. For example, we might recommend focusing a direct mail campaign on central west Edmonton and Sherwood Park, while steering you away from areas like Leduc where the audience isn’t as strong for your message.
We also help you stand out creatively, without reinventing the wheel. Maybe you want your presentation folder to feel different - we already have a proven die with a circular cut on the front that elevates your presentation without the added cost of a custom die.
And when it comes to finishes and production methods, we help you get the look you want without overspending. You might love the impact of a spot UV finish, but if the cost and digital lamination don’t make sense for your budget, we can suggest alternatives like die cutting, varnishes, or other unique treatments that deliver a similar effect for less.
Having an expert in your corner saves you time, mental energy, and frustration. Instead of weighing endless options and second-guessing decisions, you get clear recommendations that move your project forward.
Custom Pricing
Think you’re too small - or not "national" enough? No problem. We build customized programs that fit your business, not the other way around.
Need to run 200,000 pieces over the year but only budget to pay quarterly? We’ll structure a plan that works with your cash flow.
Using five different vendors and still paying too much? Consolidating to a single source gives you more leverage, better service, and access to unique solutions you won’t get elsewhere.
Need warehousing and distribution but don’t know where to start? We’ve got the space, the systems, and custom online ordering software to make it simple.
Why Edmonton Businesses Choose Local Custom Printers
Partnering with a local Edmonton print provider gives you advantages national or online-only vendors simply can’t offer.
You get faster turnaround times, easier proofing and revisions, and real-time communication, plus shorter freight distances that help keep costs down. Local printers also understand Edmonton-specific details like trade show venues, municipal requirements, customer demographics, and how materials perform in our climate.
For example, exterior vinyl installations in Edmonton typically require temperatures of +10°C or higher. That narrows the install window to roughly mid-May through mid-September - timing a local partner already plans around.
Edmonton Industries That Benefit Most from Custom Printing
Industries across Edmonton rely heavily on custom print solutions - and many of them are our customers.
Construction and energy companies need durable safety signage, site signage, hoarding, and branded swag for compliance and visibility.
Home services businesses rely on direct mail campaigns to drive demand - especially HVAC, plumbing, and other service trades.
Tourism organizations need standout pieces like connect-the-dot maps, interactive postcards, or mini “visit here” catalogs that spark exploration.
Retail and hospitality businesses depend on high-quality point-of-sale graphics, product labels, and location-based promotions that bring customers in the door.
Healthcare and education institutions require journals, calendars, and accurate, compliant, repeatable forms - along with clear safety signage.
Event-driven organizations benefit from backwalls, branded apparel, promotional giveaways, and one-off coroplast or foam core signage.
How to Choose the Right Custom Printing Partner in Edmonton
The best printing partners offer multiple print disciplines under one roof, reducing the need to manage multiple vendors. They also take the time to educate you, helping you make smarter decisions as your business grows.
Look for a partner you enjoy working with - one that brings strong quality control, solid project management, and the ability to scale. They should also guide you on materials, finishes, and production methods that fit your goals and budget.
