Ava GabouryA few months ago, my friend was getting a batch of wedding invitations printed. She’d picked a local shop that appeared promising online, but as you can guess, it was anything but.
She showed up to pick up the invitations only to find that they were printed on the wrong type of paper, half of them had smudged ink, and some parts of the design were missing! To top it off, when she asked about fixing the issues, the shop just said, “This happens sometimes.”
Her experience got me thinking about others who may go through similar print shop disasters. So, I decided it was time to find out where one could get consistently great service and quality prints in this city.
The rest of the Waterview Vancouver team helped me check out several printing stores with a few print test jobs of our own and speak to their customers. Here’s who made it onto our list of the best print shops in Vancouver.

How We Chose
1. Quick Prints – Same Day Commercial Printing
Contact Details: +16043333734
Operating Hours: Open 24 hours
Quick Prints is a good choice if you want an online printing service you can use directly from your home. They also offer a convenient same-day delivery service.
From what we’ve heard, their graphic design services are a real lifesaver too. With their team ready to Photoshop, Illustrate, or edit any file, people often find they don’t need to be design experts to end up with a stellar final product.
Another standout feature is their Xerox Versant 180 Digital Press. This device brings an added pop to prints, making colours look vibrant and eye-catching.
Others also bragged about their wide-format technology. Whether you need a banner for your business, car wrap, or window decal, their UV ink prints on pretty much anything with fantastic quality.
Several customers also raved about the laminate options—glossy, matte, and even gold foiling. Many loved the finishing details like round edging and saddle stitching, which gave their brochures and booklets a polished, professional look.
That being said, one gripe a few people encountered were typos or slight misalignments.
Pros
- Online ordering
- Same-day delivery
- Versatility
- Xerox Versant 180 Digital Press
- High-quality UV ink prints
- Plenty of finishing options
- Graphic design services
Cons
- Occasional typos or misalignments

I would give 10 stars if I could!
I highly recommend Masoud & the team at PRINTitGO for any of your print & design needs. They did my branding & printing stuff for my logistics company and I’m sooooo happy with the results. I would give 10 stars if I could! Very friendly and helpful staff, great price and amazing quality! Compared to other shops out there this place is most reasonably priced with quality to back. Working with them was worry free and they could work with my budget and customize any print to the size I wanted! Best print shop in Canada – thanks for everything guys!!!!!!!!

When we had a last-minute company event and needed a bunch of different items—wristbands, stickers, and posters—PrintPrint nailed it. Everything looked top-notch and arrived on time.
The only thing we didn’t like was that for our batch of custom stickers, the cost was a tad high for the small quantity we bought.

- Responsive customer service

The quality of the work is fine as hell
Salim and his crew are fantastic. The quality of the work is fine as hell, and the turnaround time makes me think these people don’t sleep. I’d do 6 stars, but Google ain’t havin’ it.

Made in Print is a popular go-to spot for everything from business cards to custom booklets.
Their range is impressive—whether you’re looking for sleek silk cards or bold, eye-catching posters, they have something for every type of print job. Many customers raved about the luxury feel of their suede cards, which added a touch of sophistication to their business presentations.
Customer service is another highlight. Friendly, knowledgeable staff members were ready to answer questions and give advice. Several mentioned that their guidance helped them make better choices about materials and finishes.
Most customers found the pricing reasonable for the quality provided. They felt they got value for their money, particularly with unique items like coasters and media passes.
They also have an online DIY creator that allows you to design your prints right from your computer, making the whole process super convenient. And yes, templates are available.
While we generally liked their online tool, we noticed that it had very few formatting options during our tester print jobs, especially with custom books.

- Reasonable pricing
- Online DIY creator with templates
Cons
- Limited formatting options

Customers also said the vividness of the prints resonates well, making Minuteman Press a go-to for anyone needing striking visual materials.
We ourselves liked their pen printing service. The pens we ordered through them came out with a sleek finish. Plus, their online upload system made it so easy for us to submit our designs.
