In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, many services are no longer operating, making it difficult for those in the community to access certain services.
On Mar. 17, 2020, the Ontario Government called for an Emergency Order that included the closure of non-essential businesses and prohibited public gatherings. This meant the closure of many different businesses – ones that had become so very integrated into our lives.
Printing services include printing standard letters or legal pages, to printing posters, photos and business cards. The COVID-19 pandemic caused the closure of printing services, impacting students and non-students alike. Recently, the Government of Ontario has extended all emergency orders until Jun. 2, 2020, except for the reopening of a small number of businesses while following strict safety guidelines. This includes curb side pickup and delivery services.
What does this mean? The green light to re-operate printing services. Many different printing services in the Kitchener-Waterloo region are eagerly waiting to offer their services again. Imprint has compiled a list of printing services spanning across the KW region, with price and services varying depending on your printing needs.
