Services / In their own structure
Service 01
Our commercial printing services utilize time-honored traditions and the newest technologies to ensure your print job is polished, professional, and perfect, from magazines and pocket folders to custom die-cut packaging and labels.
Service 02
High quality printing is most effective coupled with attractive, professional graphic design. Rather than hunting for a designer, work with the talented design team in-house.
Service 03
Direct mail remains an effective way to reach current and prospective customers. As a Canada Post Direct Marketing Specialist, Newprint takes care of it for you, meeting all Canada Post requirements.
Service 04
The package a product comes in creates the first impression, whether the brand is well known or just starting out. Packaging and labels are made to show customers the product is trustworthy and reliable.
Fulfillment
Newprint honours special fulfillment requests and offers multiple shipments for high volume orders. If you have several locations, an order can be split per your specifications, so all of your franchises, offices, or outlets receive the print materials they need direct from Newprint. Repeated product orders are planned the most cost efficient way.

Environment / FSC and eco-friendly inks
Newprint is a certified FSC company. The Forest Stewardship Council is a global, not-for-profit organization promoting responsible forest management. On custom orders you can ask for FSC paper: the chain of custody documentation is filed, FSC approves the request before printing, and the FSC logo appears on the printed pieces.
The inks used are created with the highest possible content of renewable and sustainable materials, including soy-based inks, and the facility itself is run for low waste and low energy consumption. Green thinking runs through the papers, the inks and the plant.
Most products offer a "go green" paper at no extra cost: a composite of post-consumer fiber, recycled paper and virgin pulp from sustainably managed forests. Customers who choose Go Green options can use free licensed Go Green logos on their pieces. In the plant, the offset inks are low in VOCs, the 4-colour digital inks have zero VOCs and meet EN71 part 3, paper waste, metal plates, waste inks and solvents are actively recycled, and LED curing is being added to cut the footprint further.
