A word about our printed products.

We are very particular about how we present ourselves to others.

As the saying goes – You never have a second chance to make a good first impression!

And so we choose paper stock to best convey our message, in the best possible light. These are the papers that I list below.

However, if you have special needs, that in turn require a particular paper, please contact us – we use the same supplier as the majority of printers in Calgary, and so our options are considerable.
