MOO Alternatives in Canada in 2026

Last updated: September 2026

The best MOO alternative in Canada is Printfast for anyone who wants thick, laminated or soft-touch business cards without paying courier shipping or waiting for delivery: 12pt cards start at $6.93 for 25, 18.5pt and 24pt laminated stocks, velvet soft-touch, spot UV, foil and NFC cards are all on the site, and 1-hour cards can be picked up free in Toronto. Jukebox Print is the pick for the widest choice of finishes, Vistaprint for the lowest price, Staples Canada for a walk-in counter, and Canva Print if you already design in Canva.

What MOO does well, and where it falls short

MOO built its name on card stock. Its Canadian business card page, checked on September 2, 2026, lists Original cards at 16pt, Super at 18pt with soft-touch or high-gloss finishes, Luxe at 32pt on four layers of Mohawk Superfine paper, Cotton at 17pt, and Letterpress on 32pt stock, plus square cards and MiniCards. Canadian pricing on that page starts at CDN$28.00 for 50 Original cards, $41.00 for 50 Super or Cotton, $54.00 for 50 Luxe, $76.00 for 50 Letterpress and $65.00 for 50 cards with a foil, spot gloss or raised spot gloss finish. Delivery is described as fast as 2 days, with next-day available on orders placed before 2 pm EST Monday to Friday.

Where it falls short for a Canadian buyer is the model itself. Everything ships; the page offers no pickup, so the fastest option still involves a courier and a delivery charge on top of the card price. Fifty plain 16pt cards at $28.00 is a high entry point for a job that a local shop prints from $6.93 for 25, and the range is built around cards and small stationery rather than the flyers, signs and banners a business also needs. If you want the card in your hand today, or you want the rest of your print from the same place, a Canadian shop is the better fit.

1. Printfast, best overall alternative

Print Fast is a Toronto print shop with 45 years in business, a store in Scarborough just off the 401 East, and shipping across Canada. The business card range runs from 12pt at $6.93 for 25 through 14pt, 16pt and 18.5pt to 24pt, with matte, gloss and velvet soft-touch lamination, spot UV, raised spot UV with foil, and NFC tap cards, along with slim, square and folded formats. Standard turnaround is 3 to 5 business days with a 1:00 pm EST cut-off for same-day production entry; the 1-hour and 24-hour card products cover the days when you need them now. Pickup is free six days a week, same-day delivery covers the GTA, and shipping is typically 2 to 3 business days elsewhere in Canada. Every file gets a free 40-point artwork check and the shop backs its work with a satisfaction guarantee.

Pros: thick and laminated stocks comparable to MOO's Super and Luxe tiers; 1-hour and same-day options; free Toronto pickup; the rest of your print from the same supplier; from $6.93 for 25.
Cons: premium finishes are priced on each product page rather than one headline number; pickup is a single Toronto location; premium finishes sit on several product pages, so comparing them takes a few clicks.
Best for: Canadian businesses that want a premium-feeling card quickly and locally.

2. Jukebox Print, widest choice of finishes

Jukebox Print, with a Toronto location, is the closest match to MOO's specialty end: foil, spot UV, soft-touch, letterpress and unusual materials, presented well. It is a design-led printer rather than a rush shop, so it is slower and costs more for a plain card, but it is the right call if the finish is the point.

Pros: premium stocks and specialty finishes; Canadian production and pickup.
Cons: slower and pricier for standard cards.
Best for: designers and brands replacing MOO Luxe or Letterpress.

3. Vistaprint, lowest price

Vistaprint is the volume online option: a huge template library, frequent promotions and a low sticker price on basic cards. It ships rather than offering pickup, checkout adds upsells, and quality varies between stocks, so it is a step down from MOO in feel and a step down from a local shop in speed.

Pros: low entry price; many templates; easy reorders.
Cons: shipping wait; upsells; inconsistent stock quality.
Best for: price-first buyers with no deadline.

4. Staples Canada, walk-in counter

Staples prints business cards through its in-store copy and print counters and online with store pickup. It trades premium choice for convenience: a location near you and a basic card done quickly, with a thin range of thick or laminated stocks.

Pros: stores across Canada; quick basics.
Cons: limited stocks and finishes; higher per-card cost on volume.
Best for: a simple card from a store you already visit.

5. Canva Print, for Canva users

Canva prints the cards you design in Canva and ships them, which suits anyone whose brand already lives in that tool. The stock range is small, there is no pickup, and a printed proof is not part of the process, so it is better for a straightforward design than a premium one.

Pros: design and order in one place; simple for non-designers.
Cons: limited stocks; shipping wait; no local help.
Best for: small businesses already designing in Canva.

What Printfast offers in place of MOO's tiers

The MOO stocks map directly onto Printfast products. In place of Original and Super there are 16pt business cards and 18.5pt laminated cards in matte, gloss or velvet soft-touch. In place of Luxe there are 24pt laminated cards, including raised spot UV and foil. MOO has no equivalent to the NFC business cards, and none of the MOO tiers can be collected within the hour like Printfast's 1-hour cards.

When to stay with MOO

MOO still makes sense if you specifically want cotton or letterpress cards, the MiniCard format, or its designer templates, and you are happy to wait for a courier. For a thick laminated card that needs to be in your hand this week, or for a business that also prints flyers, signs and banners, a Canadian shop is the more practical choice.
