We've been putting ink on paper for Calgary businesses since 1985. Bring us a file, a sketch or just an idea, and we'll print it properly.
Quick answer
SURE Print Foothills is a full-service print shop in Calgary, printing since 1985 at 3660 60 Ave SE. We print business cards, flyers, brochures, booklets, postcards, greeting cards, menus, posters, notepads and NCR forms on Xerox digital and Heidelberg offset presses, with design, cutting, folding and binding done in-house.
Most of what a business hands to a customer is printed. The card you pass across the counter, the menu on the table, the invoice book in the truck, the flyer in the mailbox in Auburn Bay. We've printed all of it for 41 years, and somewhere north of five million business cards along the way.
Everything happens in our building on 60 Ave SE, in the Foothills industrial area. Our designers set up the file, we print it on Xerox digital presses for short runs and Heidelberg offset presses for long ones, and the finishing (cutting, folding, scoring, die cutting, binding) is done a few metres away. You get a proof before anything prints.
Walk in any time. You don't need an appointment. Bring the old brochure you want refreshed or the stack of forms you've been photocopying for years, and we'll tell you the simplest way to get it printed right.

Why SURE
Why Calgary businesses bring this work to us
Digital and offset under one roof
Xerox digital presses handle short runs and personalised pieces. Heidelberg offset presses take over when the quantity climbs. We pick whichever makes more sense for your job.
Finishing happens here too
Cutting, folding, scoring, die cutting and binding are done in-house. Your job doesn't get sent across town to a bindery and back.
A proof, every time
You see exactly what will print before we print it. If we make a mistake that wasn't on the approved proof, we reprint it.
41 years of knowing what goes wrong
Low-resolution logos, text too close to the trim, a fold through someone's face. We catch these things before they cost you a reprint.
Digital or offset: which one is your job?
Digital printing has almost no setup. That makes it the sensible choice for a few hundred flyers, a short run of booklets, or anything where each piece is different, like numbered tickets or personalised invitations.
Offset printing takes longer to set up, with plates and ink to get right before the first good sheet. Once it's running, though, the cost per piece drops fast and colour stays consistent across thousands of sheets. Large flyer drops, menus for several locations and big business card orders usually end up on the Heidelberg.
You don't have to know which one you need. Tell us the quantity, the size and when you need it, and we'll quote the method that fits. Sometimes we'll quote both so you can see where the line falls.

FAQ
Print Shop questions
How much does printing cost in Calgary?
It depends on quantity, size, paper stock, colour, finishing and binding. A hundred digitally printed flyers and ten thousand offset flyers are priced very differently per sheet. Tell us what you need and we'll email you a detailed quote, or call and we can sometimes give you a rough estimate on the phone.
Do I need an appointment to visit the print shop?
No. Walk-ins are welcome at 3660 60 Ave SE. Bring your files on a USB, send them ahead by email, or bring a printed sample of what you want matched.
Can you design my print materials, or do I need print-ready files?
We can do either. Our in-house designers can build a layout from your logo and a few notes, or we'll check the file you send for resolution, bleed and colour before it prints. You approve a proof either way.
How fast can you print?
We can meet most deadlines within reason. It depends on the quantity, the finishing and how busy the presses are that week. Tell us your date when you ask for a quote and we'll be straight with you about whether it's doable.
Do you ship printing outside Calgary?
Yes. We ship to major cities across Canada and to the USA. Tell us where it's going when you ask for a quote and we'll include shipping in the price.
