A $125 quote for ten copies almost stopped a Calgary literary journal from printing their first issue. Exclamation Mark found a way to print 50 for about $2 each instead, starting with the right paper and a page count that worked for their binding. Here’s how a small, volunteer-run team turned an intimidating first print run into a shelf-ready, sellable issue.

REAL PROJECTS. REAL CLIENTS.

CUSTOMER PROJECTS
Samantha Coyote
After moving to Canada and losing much of her artwork to damage, artist Samantha turned to Little Rock to prepare for her first Canadian convention. We printed her tabletop roleplaying game book, art prints and stickers with a fast turnaround — helping her have a successful first event and nearly sell out of her books.
MindSpa
MindSpa helps leaders create meaningful change through coaching, group experiences and retreats, with a community spanning more than 12 countries. Little Rock prints their gift cards, question books and other program materials, adding a thoughtful, tangible element to their experiences while providing the flexibility and personal service their growing business needs.
Happi Sauce
Calgary startup Happi Sauce is turning a family dressing recipe into a growing local food brand. Little Rock’s high-quality, small-quantity printing helps them create professional market materials without committing to huge orders, giving the young brand a polished presence as it introduces Happi Sauce to more customers.
Ridgeline Roast
Alberta-based Ridgeline Roast supplies specialty coffee to cafés, restaurants, offices, grocery stores and customers at home. Little Rock’s banners and X-stands help their four-person team show up professionally at rodeos, trade shows and pop-ups, giving the young brand credibility and helping turn face-to-face introductions into new wholesale accounts.
Brea Bee
Okanagan artist Breanne runs Brea Bee, creating artwork inspired by local landscapes alongside whimsical illustrations and seasonal designs. Little Rock helps turn her artwork into cards, prints, stickers and other paper goods she can sell at local markets and businesses, making it easier to share her work with the community.
Savory Spoon Foods
Calgary-based Savory Spoon Foods makes small-batch pasta and pizza sauces sold across local markets and Alberta grocery stores. Little Rock has printed their labels from the start, giving the young brand a polished, shelf-ready look. As they add new flavours and retailers, our reliable printing and easy label revisions help keep their growth moving.
Solar YYC
Solar YYC is a locally owned Alberta solar company specializing in residential and commercial solar installations, as well as battery backup solutions. We help homeowners and businesses take control of their energy costs through reliable, high-quality renewable energy systems.
Sundrops Academy
Calgary entrepreneur and spray tanning expert behind Sundrops Academy has turned more than 20 years of experience — from serving local clients to training makeup artists in Hollywood — into an online certification business for aspiring beauty professionals. Now, she’s looking to Little Rock for professional labels for the tanning solutions included in her certification packages, helping the products reflect the quality and credibility she’s built around the Sundrops brand.
Kylyne’s Custom Treasures
Calgary’s Kylyne’s Custom Treasures creates story-driven art prints, paper goods, hand-painted 3D printed dragons and small gifts designed to make people feel like they belong. Since opening in 2023, Little Rock has helped bring their designs to life with polished, consistent print quality that still feels true to their work. That reliability lets them focus on creating, connecting with customers and sharing the stories behind their art.
Mark Rowe
Inglewood-based freelance designer and Fake Fest organizer turns to Little Rock each year to print the charity music festival’s creative assets. The pieces consistently sell out, and having a responsive, affordable local printer that delivers great work efficiently has made Little Rock a go-to for both their own projects and recommendations to others.
Mark Coupe
After five years of wildlife photography, one photographer turned a friend’s greeting card request into an unexpected new business opportunity. Having already trusted Little Rock for calendars, our affordable pricing and ability to print small quantities across multiple designs made it easy to test the idea. The cards quickly sold to a local shop — which needed a restock just two weeks later — with more stores now on the horizon.
Riley Merchant
Calgary artist Riley Merchant creates meticulous coloured pencil drawings that can take over 100 hours to complete. As Riley builds their art business, Little Rock’s high-quality prints are helping make these detailed originals more accessible to buyers without compromising the quality of the artwork. Now, Riley is expanding into new products, with stickers next on the list.
The Yoga for Life Project.
Artist Rubina Quadri is building a greeting card business from home, with Little Rock helping her serve Canadian customers without rigid order minimums. Our flexible quantities, consistent print quality, shipping, and dropshipping options let her fulfill smaller orders herself and send larger orders directly to customers while keeping the same quality across every order.
Workshop Studios
Calgary’s Workshop Studios is a multidisciplinary art and education space offering ceramics and glass classes, artist studios, events, and community programming. They’ve been printing with Little Rock for nearly 10 years, from gift cards and postcards to materials for countless events. Our consistent quality, easy process, and ability to bring their more creative ideas to life have kept them coming back year after year.
