Standard Form

Standard Form is excited to announce that we have teamed up with Flash Reproductions, Canada's foremost custom print shop. We have closed our Wade Avenue location and will now be working out of a combination of their Etobicoke facility and our downtown home office. You can expect the same high quality of print work as we have offered for the past 8 years with an even wider range of capabilities such as letterpress and screen-printing!
