While the graphic arts industry grows in complexity, executives are faced with a broad range of new and changing business conditions which influence their company's growth and profitability. With these issues, comes your need for a dependable, comprehensive, industry specific, source of information about your business. The SGAIA and CPIA fulfill this role.

When you join the SGAIA with branches in Saskatoon and Regina, you automatically become full members of Canadian Printing Industries Association (CPIA), the Printing Industries of America (PIA) and the Graphic Arts Technical Foundation (GATF). You receive the full benefits of membership in the largest graphic arts association in the world. Thus you join the team and reap all the benefits of all of the services.

The printing industries are largely made up of many small businesses each of which can benefit greatly from the exchange of experience and information through association with colleagues, competitors, customers and suppliers. Membership brings the opportunity of participation in many levels of the printing industries association network, from many branch meetings, plant tours and seminars, to national and international conferences and conventions.

Direct returns on dues investment include access to credit information that can save many times your investment, savings in industry specific seminars, savings on group buys on insurance and benefits programs, and a constantly growing list of group buys on goods and services. Our members benefit greatly from the access to industry financial ratio studies whereby you can compare your company's performance, each year, with over 1000 printing industry companies in Canada and the USA. These studies can be the most valuable tool available to the industry. This service is only available to our members. Together we work to make individual businesses and the industry grow stronger.
