On April 29, Hemlock welcomed creatives, marketers, publishers, and print enthusiasts to another successful edition of Print & A Pint Vancouver. This annual networking event celebrates innovation, craftsmanship, and the evolving possibilities of modern print.
This year’s theme, Hemlock U: Night School for Print Nerds, transformed Tap & Barrel Bridges into an immersive print “campus”. Themed departments, interactive displays, and print-inspired giveaways brought the concept to life. In all, over 100 guests joined us throughout the evening for meaningful conversation, new connections, and shared inspiration.
Showcasing What’s Possible in Modern Print
A goal of Print & A Pint is to give guests a closer look at Hemlock’s full range of services.
This year’s event highlighted Hemlock’s expanding capabilities in wide-format production and in-house specialty finishing. It gave attendees a firsthand look at how print continues to evolve across retail, publishing, packaging, and branded experiences.
Guests also explored a wide range of technically ambitious and creatively driven print applications at the Print Research Library and Paper Science & Material Studies Department. There, Hemlock teams and vendor partners shared insights into substrates, finishing techniques, sustainability considerations, and innovative production opportunities.
