One of the few industry associations in Canada
 The merger of the two largest graphic communications industry trade associations in the Western States (Printing Industries Association and Visual Media Alliance) will now be known as Print Creative Alliance. This is part of an on going trend in the North American printing industry . SGIA and PIA merged to create Printing United Alliance ( 2020), Printing Industries Alliance and Graphic Arts Association ( 2022) DIA joins PAC Global (2025).
The Craftsmen Club shut down . Canadian Printing Industries Association has had to restructure .
 
 Print Creative Alliance's new logo blends the colours of PIA and VMA into a single colour, unifying a singular focus on our industry across 13 Western States. More powerful than as two separate organizations. As Print Creative Alliance, with a team of over 40 employees, are well positioned to champion their members' success!
