Poly Mailers for Canadian Businesses
Quote support for Canadian businesses means producing to your specification and shipping to your address, with the documentation and any charges stated in writing rather than left to arrive as a surprise.
Two things come up more often here than in other markets: what applies under Canadian plastics regulation, and language requirements for packaging sold in Quebec. Both are addressed on this site, with the caveat that we are packaging manufacturers rather than legal advisers.

Quoted in Canadian dollars
Quotations for Canadian customers are issued in Canadian dollars.
Documentation and charges stated
On the quotation, before you commit, rather than arriving with the shipment.
No Canadian premises
No warehouse, no branch and no collection point.
The two questions Canadian buyers ask
The first is regulatory: whether shipping mailers fall within Canadian single-use plastics rules. Our understanding is that they have not generally been within the specified categories addressed, but that is not a legal opinion, the position changes, and provincial and municipal rules add layers. Confirm what applies to your business with your own adviser.
The second is language: what is required for packaging sold in Quebec. Language legislation affects commercial communication including packaging, and businesses selling there plan artwork around it rather than translating afterwards. Again, what your specific business must do is a question for someone qualified to answer it.
On both, our contribution is documentation and accurate material information rather than advice. That is more useful to whoever does advise you than a reassuring answer would be.
Cross-border shipping
A large share of Canadian ecommerce ships into the United States, and a cross-border parcel is a different object from a domestic one: more custody changes, documentation that must stay attached, and the possibility of inspection. What that means for the packaging specification is set out on the cross-border shipping page.

Questions about supplying Canada
Are poly mailers affected by Canadian single-use plastics regulation?
Our understanding is that shipping mailers have not generally fallen within the specified categories addressed, but that is not a legal opinion and the position changes. Confirm what applies to your business with your own adviser; we will supply the material documentation they need.
Can you print packaging in French and English?
Yes. The practical constraint is space rather than process — copy roughly doubles while the panel does not, so most bilingual layouts sit most comfortably split across the front and back.
What currency are Canadian quotations issued in?
Canadian dollars, with documentation, charges and shipping arrangements all stated on the quotation rather than assumed.
Do you hold stock in Canada?
No. Every order is produced to your specification and shipped to your address, with the schedule confirmed in writing rather than implied.
