5 Best Printing Services in Winnipeg

Printing makes it possible to present an idea physically. Whether you need a document on the fly or a big coloured banner, it’s good to know where you can get it done.

To give you just that, we’ve compiled a list of the best printing services in Winnipeg. We’ll also scan through the average prices before answering some questions about print shops in the area.

How Much Does Printing Cost in Winnipeg?

While it’s sensible to own a printer at home, not everyone has that luxury. Additionally, shops are equipped to handle complex projects that a home printer can’t.

Here’s what some of those projects look like and how much they cost:

SERVICEESTIMATED COST
Black and white documents$0.10 to $0.20 per sheet
Coloured documents$0.40 to $0.80 per sheet
Single-sided business cards$50 per 500 cards
Double-sided business cards$60 per 500 cards
Specialty business cards$100 per 500 cards
Tickets$30 per 100 stubs
Posters$75 per 100 or $5 per sq.ft
Banners$6 per sq.ft
Mounted signs$8 per sq.ft

One thing to note, especially with documents and business cards: the unit price can drop significantly when you order in bulk. For example, black and white documents can go for just $0.05 a sheet if you order 1000 copies.

On the other hand, booklets and magazines usually need to be quoted individually because the number of coloured pages can vary. As with other print jobs, the material you want them to use also affects prices.

These are small things to keep in mind to avoid confusion as to why the cost of printing might change.

If you’re hellbent on those knick knacks and happen to be near Saint Matthews, check out Print It On across Marshall Fabrics and Speedworld. They have a lot of services and a good design team to bring your ideas to life.

They print just about anything, from custom envelopes to large event displays like tents and pillar boards. With specially designed moulds, they even make custom chocolate!

They do seem more slanted toward business branding and promotional design. That said, don’t expect to catch them printing a tonne of manuscripts and one-pagers.

Aside from being closed on weekends, they close shop on Fridays at 2:00 PM too. Just put a pin on thatit’s a tad early and that might make it hard to meet a Friday deadline.

Pros

  • Creative range of printing options
  • On-board graphic designers

Cons

  • Early end-of-the-week cut-off

The UPS Store is a one-stop errand centre that does shipping, printing, ID photos, notary services, and moreall in one place. Fun fact: there are more than fifteen UPS Store locations in Winnipeg.

The catch, as with any large franchise with independent operators: not all of them are great. The good news is that we found one that performs exceptionally well and it’s the one on 360 Main Street.

The UPS Store #322 is a gem when it comes to service. Just ask the 287 people who gave it 5 stars in Google Reviews.

While one-stop convenience is standard fare for the franchise, it’s the management that makes all the difference. It turns out that they’re very good at their job, and a lot of people can vouch for it.

Is the printing any good? Yes, and they’re even equipped with both offset and digital printers―great for quality mass printing and short runs on the go.

Pros

  • Good management
  • One-stop convenience
  • Offset and digital printing available

Cons

  • Slightly pricey

If you’re still iffy about the inconsistent nature of franchising, try Print Pro. They’re absolute veterans when it comes to printing in Winnipeg and have nailed the balance between focused management and scale.

They have an almost perfect list of printing services―one of the most complete we’ve seen. And yet, they always seem to deliver their work in a timely manner.

From people’s experience, the team does a great job being transparent and professional. And so far, we’ve heard only cricket sounds in the complaints section.

One thing that does seem to speed things up is their online portal. From there, you can build your own print job with custom specs, and a quote will appear right away.

You do have to register as a customer and log in before you can get a rough idea of what you’ll be spending, though. Still, that’s a pretty small price to pay in order to use or learn more about their services.

Pros

  • Transparent communication
  • Quick turnaround
  • Handy online portal

Cons

  • Registration/login or call needed to know prices

Customer Reviews

Here are some reviews of customers who were more than pleased with Print Pro’s service:

Great communication and extremely professional. Gaurav and his team were wonderful to work with and I will be recommending them to my friends, family and colleagues. Keep up the good work!”Kimberley Erskine

“I was very pleased with the work PrintPro did on my small run (30 copies) 350 page Family History/Memoirs book. The quality of the pictures and printing was excellent, they were very responsive to my requests, and the turnaround time was very quick. I would highly recommend this company. Thanks, Gaurav and Manish.”Larry Phillips

“I ordered 26 signs (20 of the same image and 6 single signs) for an upcoming golf tournament.  All the signs were 12×16, double sided. Print Pro was very quick to give me a clear quote for the work I wanted and worked with me to keep the price reasonable. Once I placed my order it was ready within 2 days and the final results were fantastic.They will be my first call the next time I need any type of signs printed. Contact them first for a quote” Jeremy
