Our services

CANsign Inc – your friendly, collaborative, low-cost signage service focused on the environment.

CANsign supports Environment and Climate Action Groups and helps design, print, and dispatch their important campaign messages to obtain maximum impact

EXTEND YOUR TEAM’s RESOURCES

Environment and Climate action groups have their hands full just running their campaigns.

Generating and distributing signs, stickers and engaging printers etc. can be distracting and drain the energy from the group when you can be more focused on the campaigns themselves.

Let us assist you with professional design, printing and dispatch services of your campaign material

Let CANsign do the hard work!
