CAD Plans

Drawings, plans, CAD, or reprographics – whatever you prefer to call it – run in our DNA. Beginning with a single ammonia-based print machine in our founder’s basement to one of the large HP Pagewide fleets in Canada – our team has been delivering success since 1963. Our lean production methods and continual investment in innovative technologies put us on the bleeding edge of print fulfillment – keeping your projects running on time. 

We produce highfidelity colour or monochrome drawings on a variety of materials – from recycled bond paper to water resistant polypropylene (a recyclable and more cost-effective alternative to lamination). With one of the largest CAD drawing print capacities in North America, no turnaround is too tight for any last minute and time-sensitive orders.

Why print on Polypropylene?

Polypropylene is a tear & water-resistant material with excellent versatility and value for a wide range of print applications. A recyclable and cost-effective alternative to lamination, this product stands up to the harshest conditions without trading off brilliant color and edge definition.

Print high quality monochrome or colour technical documents on these materials and more!
