Branded merchandise for Montreal, bilingual from day one
We build employee stores, recognition programs, and branded merchandise operations in both languages natively. Not translated after the fact; designed in French and English from the start.
Bilingual is how we build, not what we bolt on
Most promotional products companies offer French as an afterthought: a translated product description, a PDF in both languages, maybe a bilingual invoice. We build the entire experience in both languages from the ground up. Employee stores, product catalogues, order confirmations, shipping notifications, and customer support all work natively in French and English.
For Quebec organizations, that's not a nice-to-have. Bill 96 tightened French-language requirements for workplace communications, product descriptions, and customer-facing materials. Our stores meet those requirements without workarounds.
- Stores built bilingual from the start (FR + EN)
- Bill 96 compliant product descriptions and interfaces
- French-first capable for Quebec-only programs
- Bilingual customer support for your employees
- One to two day ground shipping to Montreal
- All decoration methods available
What makes Montreal programs different
Bill 96 and French-language compliance
Since June 2022, Quebec's language law requires French to be predominant in commercial communications, including employee-facing materials. An employee merchandise store is a workplace tool, and its interface, product names, and descriptions need to comply. We handle that natively because our platform was built bilingual, not retrofitted.
Quebec tax and shipping
Our stores handle QST + GST correctly for Quebec orders. Shipping from our Kemptville facility reaches Montreal in one to two business days by ground, with no cross-border complications since we're shipping within Canada.
National programs with Quebec employees
If your head office is in Toronto or Vancouver but you have staff in Montreal, your employee store needs to work in French for those employees. We build one store that serves both language groups: each employee sees the interface in their preferred language, and product descriptions run in both.
Industries we serve in Quebec
Aerospace, gaming, AI, financial services, and public sector organizations in Montreal all run employee programs. We've worked with national companies that have significant Quebec operations, and we understand that a bilingual program in Quebec isn't the same as a bilingual program in New Brunswick. The standard is higher, and we meet it.

Questions from Montreal clients
Can we run the store entirely in French?
Yes. For Quebec-only programs, we can build French-first stores where French is the default language. Bilingual stores let each user switch between French and English.
How do you handle product descriptions in both languages?
We write product descriptions in both French and English during catalogue setup. This isn't machine translation; we write the French content to read naturally, using the terminology your employees expect.
What about shipping times?
One to two business days by ground from Kemptville to Montreal. We ship daily. Expedited options are available for time-sensitive orders.
Do you understand Quebec's language requirements?
Yes. We've built stores for companies with Quebec operations and we know the standard. Product names, descriptions, navigation, checkout, and all employee-facing communications comply with Bill 96 requirements.
