About the CPIA

Members of the cpia are automatically members of:

Membership in the Canadian Printing Industries Association offers a wealth of benefits and services which are designed to help your firm operate profitably and remain competitive.

We constantly strive to offer value for our members and believe the products and services we offer provide a direct return on investment. In fact, we believe it pays to belong to CPIA!

In partnership with local and international printing and imaging associations, CPIA has four core functions:

With federal legislation and regulation affecting the business operations of all firms involved with our industry, it is critical that we have a voice in Ottawa that looks out for our interests. CPIA provides this voice and works hard to ensure that the industry remains vibrant and that its image is viewed positively by decision makers and the general public.

As a member of the Association, your views count and have a direct impact on the positions we present to the federal government. CPIA regularly surveys its membership to develop its legislative priorities.

Each year, CPIA hosts Government Affairs Days, a national conference that groups industry leaders from coast to coast to address issues of concern with federal Members of Parliament and senior federal officials.

An important part of CPIA's advocacy role, this conference provides unique insight into the operations of government and how business interests can influence decision making.

Membership in CPIA provides you with access to a national and international network of peer and industry leaders who share common interests and goals.

Whether seeking advice when purchasing a piece of equipment or bouncing an idea off of someone who has been there before, CPIA membership provides a world of contacts.
