International Graphics

What International Graphics does

International Graphics is a privately held Canadian commercial printing and marketing solutions company headquartered in Stratford, Ontario, operating as International Graphics ULC. Founded in 1929, the company provides enterprise customers with a broad portfolio of branded print services and marketing materials, including corporate identity and branding (business cards, stationery, certificates, awards, holiday cards), commercial print via digital print and digital inkjet networks, print on demand, signage and graphics, visual impressions, retail experience materials, promotional marketing, direct mail programs, and fulfillment, kitting, and cold chain distribution. The company maintains an extensive North American production footprint of 26 FSC- and SFI-certified U.S. facilities plus 15 landfill-free locations, and operates wholly owned sub-brands including Commercial Trade, Masterpiece Studios, and Holiday Hi-Lites (a greeting card brand distributed through authorized dealers).

The company sells primarily to enterprise accounts in financial services, insurance, and retail, with secondary exposure to hospitality and real estate. Named customers include RBC, Manulife, and Co-operators. The core commercial differentiator is a B2B platform that integrates directly into enterprise procurement systems via punch-out applications for Ariba, Coupa, and Oracle, embedding ordering, brand approval, compliance, and order history into client host applications. Long-standing supply partnerships with paper mills Neenah and Mohawk secure substrate access. Go-to-market is sales-led enterprise direct with dedicated account management for major brands, supplemented by a dealer channel for Holiday Hi-Lites.
