In 2012, designer Simon Laliberté had a crazy dream to unite graphic design and silkscreen printing in a commercial enterprise. Building on his years of experience in Montréal’s big creative agencies, he made that dream a reality with the launch of BangBang, a studio that would unite his two favourite disciplines in service of one another.
Ever since, BangBang has hit the ground running, tackling design and screen printing projects of all sizes and scopes for a wide variety of clients. Specializing in visual identity, packaging and printed media, the studio upholds a personalized collaborative approach, adapting to each client’s unique needs. Clients are kept close throughout the process, inspiring and immersing them in the studio’s passionate workflow.
It proved to be a winning formula. Today, 11 years later, BangBang has become a leader in its domain, decorated with awards both local and international.
In 2016 the studio even launched an innovative event service, further cementing its position as the silkscreen specialists. Marrying traditional with modern techniques, the studio goes mobile, bringing discovery of this inspiring craft out of the office and directly to the public. Spot them at events throughout the Montréal region and beyond in their trademark 1980 Grumman step-van.
Our Clients
Since the studio’s inception, we have collaborated with over 500 clients from diverse sectors both local and abroad, on projects of design and/or screen printing. Some of these clients return so often that they’re starting to feel like family! Here’s some examples: Some of these clients return so often that they’re starting to feel like family!
