Your Trusted Printing Partner in Vancouver
Established in 2006, Initial Print has been a trusted name in Vancouver's printing industry for over 16 years. Our journey began in downtown Vancouver before relocating to a modern 4,000 sq ft facility in the Portside area, equipped with cutting-edge technology to enhance our service capabilities. Our small but highly skilled team brings decades of collective experience, with some members tracing their expertise back to high-school graphics classes. Specializing in pre-press, production, graphic design, and customer service, we prioritize personalized attention and swift delivery of finished materials. As pioneers in Western Canada, we installed the first Xerox press with metallic toner in 2018, enabling affordable full-color plus metallic printing.Our Ricoh Pro C7200 further expands possibilities with clear and white toner applications, while our 104 grand format printer handles everything from bumper stickers to construction site wraps. We pride ourselves on maintaining a welcoming atmosphere in an industry increasingly dominated by outsourcing and generic templates. Our client roster includes the Red Cross, YWCA, YMCA, and numerous cultural organizations, reflecting our commitment to serving both local businesses and community initiatives. With free customer parking at our new location, we continue to deliver friendly, efficient services that blend technical innovation with a human touch.
