Print Factory

What Print Factory does

Print Factory is a Canadian commercial printing company operating as a division of Xeon Media Inc., with operations centered on Kelowna, British Columbia and physical presence across 11 Canadian cities (Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Kelowna, Winnipeg, Penticton, Kamloops, Vernon, Ottawa, Toronto, and Abbotsford). Note: the firm's founding year is reported inconsistently across sources — 2010 in firmographic fields and 2013 in company-history data tied to the Xeon Media Inc. corporate context and the first Okanagan readers'-choice recognition — and is best read as established circa 2013 as a Xeon Media Inc. division. The company serves small and medium businesses, larger organizations, and individual consumers across Canada and into the United States, producing commercial print through a co-located stack of offset, digital, wide format, and grand format equipment covering roughly 35 catalog SKUs spanning business cards, postcards, brochures, flyers, banners, signage, calendars, greeting cards, hang tags, plastic cards, and stand-up pouches, alongside a custom printing service with extended finishing options (lamination, UV coating, die cutting, embossing, foil-stamping, perfect binding).

The operating backbone is a proprietary online ordering platform integrated with production facilities, featuring an interactive web-based design tool that supports direct file upload, self-serve product configuration, instant unit pricing on standard SKUs, and ETA-based delivery estimates. The platform is paired with PCI DSS-compliant online payment processing (no stored card data) and a phone/email-assisted sales channel for custom and design work. Distinct from the similarly-named Netherlands-based software company PrintFactory (a cloud workflow/color-management vendor) being acquired by Kornit Digital in 2026, the Canadian Print Factory analyzed here is a physical print-services business and has no connection to that transaction.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) unit-priced transactional print sales on stocked SKUs and quote-based custom printing jobs priced per specification; (2) one-time custom work with finishing options; and (3) professional graphic design services billed hourly with a 1-hour minimum in 0.5-hour increments, with rush surcharges available on most products. Distribution is direct-to-customer via the e-commerce storefront, phone-assisted sales, and multi-carrier shipping (FedEx, UPS, Purolator, Canpar, Loomis, DHL, Canada Post, USPS, freight services) across Canada and into the United States. The company has no disclosed enterprise anchor customers, no disclosed financing events, and no disclosed revenue. Local market validation includes 2013 and 2014 Okanagan Life Magazine "Best Place for Printing" readers' choice awards.
