Printing for the Film & TV Industry

The pace of film and television production in Calgary is fast, and the details matter. At Print Three Calgary, we help productions stay on schedule with reliable, high?quality printing tailored to the unique needs of sets, offices, and locations.

From last?minute script changes to hero props that need to look perfect on camera, our local team understands the pressure you’re under and turns jobs around quickly without sacrificing quality.

Services for Productions and Studios

We support everything from indie shoots to full?scale series and features with a wide range of print services.

  • Production office printing (scripts, schedules, call sheets, storyboards, contracts, location maps).

  • On?set materials (sides, clipboards, labels, continuity binders, slate labels, camera reports).

  • Large format posters (set dressing, faux movie posters, wall art, signage, safety boards).

  • Directional and parking signage (cast and crew parking, unit base signs, location arrows, load?in/out).

  • Health and safety signage (hazard notices, PPE reminders, health updates, emergency procedures).

  • Branded materials (crew T?shirts and hoodies via transfers, stickers, decals, mugs, water bottles, lanyards).

  • Packaging and labels for props (product mock?ups, food packaging, bottles, boxes, barcodes, “hero” labels).

  • Administrative print (NDAs, contracts, timesheets, invoice packages, payroll documents).

Because we are part of a national print network, we combine local flexibility with the resources of one of Canada’s largest printing groups, which means consistent quality and competitive pricing no matter the size of your production.

Set Dressing, Props, and Graphic Elements

Convincing sets often depend on the small printed details that sell your world on screen. We work closely with art departments and graphic designers to bring those pieces to life.

  • Custom posters and artwork for walls, hallways, schools, offices, hospitals, and shops.

  • Menus, flyers, brochures, and mailers for restaurants, cafés, or retail store sets.

  • Magazines, newspapers, book covers, folders, and faux corporate materials.

  • Vinyl decals, window graphics, and wall graphics for branding locations or hiding real?world logos.

  • Floor graphics and wayfinding systems for large set builds, stages, or converted warehouses.

We can print from your supplied files or connect you with graphic design support to finalize artwork that is camera?ready and cleared for use.

Fast Turnaround, Short Runs, and Last?Minute Changes

Production schedules change quickly, and print needs often shift overnight. Our digital printing capabilities let us handle both small and large runs with very quick turnaround.

  • Same?day and next?day options for many common items (subject to volume and approval).

  • Short runs for camera tests and continuity checks, with the ability to reprint or revise on demand.

  • Version control for scripts and documents, so you can track revisions clearly with colour covers or tabs.

  • Secure handling of sensitive information for unreleased scripts and production documents.

Our central Calgary location and online ordering make it easy for production coordinators to send files from set or the office and pick up or schedule delivery when it works for you.

Large Format, Signage, and Location Support

Whether you are dressing a street or organizing unit move?ins, clear visual communication keeps everyone aligned and safe.

  • Coroplast and foam?core signage for exterior and interior use.

  • Banners, roll?up banners, and backdrops for press days, EPK interviews, and step?and?repeat walls.

  • Outdoor?durable signs with protective lamination for Calgary’s changing weather.

  • Laminated maps, shot lists, and location boards for AD and locations departments.

We also produce coated and laminated pieces that stand up to handling, weather, and repeated use throughout a long shoot.
