Our Heritage

We’ve earned a reputation for quality, dedication to customer service, technological advances and innovation. Housing a completely digital work flow, generations of successful business ethics and with qualified staff, we strive to simply make your project and experience enjoyable. Consistently delivering high-quality work has earned us a reputation for being reliable enabling us to establish and maintain long term relationships with our customers.

Our firm was founded in 1916 by Vernon L. Cober, who printed business cards, letterheads and flyers for his own grocery store. It was located in his home at 85 Samuel Street until 1942. His son, Lloyd, took over the business in 1945 when it occupied the entire first floor of the house. Three floors were being used by 1952 and four years later an addition was built. In 1969 a walkway was put between 85 and 87 Samuel Street, where the office was relocated along with the typesetting and bindery departments.

Vernon retired from the business in 1975 and ten years later the firm relocated to Courtland Avenue East with a staff of 6. Lloyd remained active in the business until his death in September of 1994. Peter Cober and his sister Billie-Anne Gural, 3rd generation Cobers, currently run the company. Fourth generation family members have principle roles.

In June of the millennium year Cober Printing once again packed up its staff and equipment and moved to our 47,000 sq. ft. facility at 965 Wilson Ave. Modern equipment, computer graphics, skilled trades people, and quality printing has been our commitment to our customers. Our name, along with a strong family heritage, will give you the guarantee that your printed product will be the very best.

Our philosophy is to use innovative technology to provide both printing and non-printing solutions for value and profit for both the customer and supplier in an ever changing and challenging business environment. Focusing on what our customers need and want, to provide them with cost effective products or service that meets these needs is our biggest day to day challenge.

For almost 100 years putting ink on paper has been our business. The pursuit of excellence along with quality impressions are the foundation of our reputation. After decades of business practices and ethics and generations of loyal employees, we believe we have an unparalleled formula for success. Success we share with our client base and those yet to walk through our doors.
