Multi-Location Fulfillment
Direct shipping to restaurant locations, distribution centers, or warehouses — single shop or full chain rollout.
No-Cost Inventory Management
We hold your stock and ship as you need it, for replenishment, seasonal campaigns, or new location openings. No storage fees, no minimum drop quantities.
Built for Volume
High-speed web press production for runs of any size, from single-restaurant orders to chain-scale rollouts of every product line.
Freight Included on Every Quote
The price quoted is the price invoiced. No separate shipping line, no surprise freight charges at PO time.
THE SAME HIGH STANDARD. WHATEVER YOUR ORDER.
Custom print solutions that scale to your business.
The press, the design support, the inventory model, and the freight policy stay the same whether you're ordering for one restaurant or one thousand. What scales is the logistics layered on top — distribution coordination, campaign timing, brand consistency across runs — and that scaling is what we do best.
Brand-accurate production, run after run.
Bring finished artwork and we'll get you a press-ready proof by the next business day. Don't have artwork? Layout, brand-color matching, and revisions are included in every quote. Complex artwork builds are quoted separately, with pricing confirmed before any work starts.
Every job runs on a commercial-grade web press, regardless of order size. CMYK and Pantone-matched spot color hold across runs, reorders, and quarterly campaigns, so the color you signed off on last fall is the color that arrives next spring. Same commercial quality for a 10,000-unit independent reorder and a multi-million-unit chain rollout.
Delivered where and when you need it.
We ship where you need it: to a central warehouse, to regional distribution centers, or direct to individual restaurant locations.
We can coordinate split shipments to multiple distribution centers — meaning your inventory ships on demand to where it's needed, not all at once to your warehouse. Or we can hold finished stock at our facility at no cost, so you can print once and fulfill as required.
Every run accurate. Every shipment where it needs to be.

Frequently Asked Questions
We're happy to answer any of your questions in person. Just call 416-751-9111 or toll-free (800)-361-8113. We answer your call.
Is shipping included in your quotes?
Yes. Shipping anywhere in the United States and Canada is built into every quote. The price quoted is the price invoiced — no separate freight line, no surcharges for split-shipments, no surprise charges at PO time.
This applies whether the order ships to a single restaurant or to hundreds of locations across North America.
Do you handle multi-location chain rollouts?
Yes. Multi-location fulfillment is one of our core capabilities — we coordinate split-ship schedules across multiple distribution centers, hold finished inventory at our facility between drops, and ship direct to individual restaurant locations as required.
Chains running quarterly campaigns across hundreds of locations and regional groups running monthly reorders to a handful of stores both work through the same operational model.
Can you ship to distribution centers as well as individual restaurants?
Yes. Some chains route all inventory through a central warehouse or regional distribution centers; others ship direct to individual restaurant locations; many use a mix depending on the campaign.
We coordinate routing to whatever combination of destinations your operations require — central warehouse, regional DCs, individual stores, or any combination — with shipping included to all destinations in a single quote.
Do you store inventory between orders or campaign drops?
Yes, at no cost. We hold finished inventory at our Toronto facility between production runs and ship on the schedule that matches your operations calendar. There are no storage fees and no minimum drop quantities.
This lets chains print quarterly campaigns in a single production print run and fulfill across multiple shipping windows, and lets independent operators reorder from existing stock without scheduling a new run.
What is your typical lead time from artwork approval to delivery?
Standard production runs ship within two weeks of artwork approval for Placemats, Trayliners, and Basket Liners, and for Greaseproof Food Wrap runs under 50,000 pieces. Larger Greaseproof Food Wrap runs of 50,000 pieces or more typically deliver in six weeks.
Press-ready proofs are returned within one business day of artwork submission, so your campaign timing can plan around confirmed dates rather than estimates.
Do you offer minimum or maximum order quantities?
There are no minimums and no maximums whether you're a single restaurants reordering 10,000 placemats or a national chains running multi-million-unit campaign. Pricing scales transparently with quantity.
If you're unsure what run size makes sense for your operation, mention it in your quote request and we'll recommend the right quantity for your timeline and budget.
Do you provide design support if we don't have print-ready artwork?
Yes. Layout, brand-color matching, and revisions are included in every quote. Submit your logo and brand guidelines, or any rough direction on layout and messaging, and our in-house design team will build press-ready artwork. Complex artwork builds are quoted separately, with pricing confirmed before any work starts.
You'll receive a digital proof for review before anything goes to press.
What's the difference between greaseproof and waxed paper for Food Wraps and Basket Liners
Greaseproof paper resists oil and moisture through the manufacturing process, with no coating required. Waxed paper has a thin wax coating applied after manufacturing, which provides a higher level of grease and moisture resistance and a slightly different feel.
Both substrates are food-safe and rated for use in ovens, microwaves, and freezers, and both are available in white or kraft.
Mention your application in your quote request and we'll recommend the right option.
