Comparison Overview

Why Canadians look for alternatives

For many people, the shift comes down to a few things:

• Preferring products made and handled in Canada
• Wanting better communication and support
• Avoiding cross-border shipping delays or fees
• Looking for a system that feels more flexible and long-term

Not all companies clearly disclose where their products are printed or assembled.

Lead time & shipping

Shipping times can vary quite a bit between brands.

Canadian-made options, like Evergreen & Birch or Posterjack, are typically printed, assembled, and shipped within a few days.

Other brands, such as Photobook Canada or MIXPIX, often take longer, usually around 1–2 weeks. This is often because production happens overseas or across multiple locations.

For Canadians ordering from Mixtiles, delivery can also take around 7–14 days, as orders are shipped from outside Canada.

If timing matters, it’s worth looking beyond the estimated delivery date and considering where your order is actually being made.

Why people switch from Mixtiles

Many people start looking for alternatives after realizing:

• They want more flexibility over time
• They want better print quality
• They prefer supporting a Canadian business
• They want to avoid import fees or delays

Final Thoughts

There are several Canadian options depending on what you’re looking for.

Some focus on affordability, others on premium materials, and some on flexibility over time.

However, it’s also worth noting that not all “Canadian” brands are the same.

In many cases, companies may be based in Canada but don’t clearly disclose where their products are actually made, assemblied or printed.

For those who value buying local, it can be helpful to look a bit deeper, not just at where a company is located, but where the product is truly produced, assembled shipped from.

In the end, the right choice comes down to how you want your gallery wall to work, and how important local production, flexibility, and quality are to you.
