What Posterjack does

Posterjack, legally Online Print Decor Inc., is a privately held Canadian direct-to-consumer custom photo-printing company founded in 2009 and headquartered at 77 Brown's Line in Etobicoke, Toronto. It operates a vertically integrated production model in which all printing, cutting, framing, and finishing is performed in-house at a single Toronto workshop using a multi-vendor press fleet — SwissQPrint UV inkjet, HP Indigo digital presses, Epson dye-sublimation printers, Zund digital cutters, and Fuji photo printers — enabling specialty offerings such as layflat photo books, dye-sublimated Chromaluxe HD metal prints, giclée-on-acrylic, and UV-printed Canadian birch wood prints. The company sells through two storefronts, posterjack.ca (Canada-only shipping) and posterjack.com (US), on a Shopify-powered e-commerce platform with no phone support and a self-serve 1-2-3 customization flow.

The catalog spans 20+ product types grouped into wall art (Canvas, Acrylic, Framed, HD/Matte/Brushed Metal, Gallery Boxes, Wood Prints, Photoboards, Frameless Mounting), photo paper prints (Satin, Glossy, Fine Art, Metallic Pearl, Peel & Stick, Collage), photo books (Layflat, Hardcover, Softcover, including wedding editions), gifts and desk décor, calendars and cards, and dedicated wedding products. Unit pricing ranges from $2 CAD (Satin Photo Prints) to $485 CAD (30x60 canvas panoramas), with a flat $10 shipping fee and free shipping over $150 CAD. Revenue is generated almost entirely through one-time consumer purchases, supplemented by digital gift certificates ($10–$500 CAD) and a transactional loyalty program (PJ Loyalty) that awards 5–8 points per $1 with four VIP tiers. Customers are predominantly individual Canadian consumers using the service for home décor, gifting, and occasion-based keepsakes — primarily weddings, family events, and seasonal projects — with a small but explicit B2B inquiry channel.

The company is bootstrapped, founder-led by President Tim Faught, with no disclosed external funding rounds, M&A activity, or institutional shareholders. It employs 20+ people at its Toronto workshop and reports 450,000+ orders fulfilled since founding, 270,000+ photos printed annually, and 40,000+ verified 5-star reviews. Operational performance is supported by a 0.3% shipment damage rate with full insurance coverage, a Free Reprint Guarantee, and 200+ year fade-resistance ratings on HD Metal and Framed Prints. PIPEDA compliance governs personal data handling. The business has expanded its footprint only modestly — through a separate US storefront, a wedding product vertical, a B2B inquiry page, and ongoing SKU extension — without acquisitions, leadership turnover, or restructures disclosed in the input.
