Founded in 2012 by designer Simon Laliberté, BangBang was born from the somewhat crazy dream of uniting graphic design and screen printing in a single entrepreneurial structure. Alongside his years of work in major Montreal agencies, he founded his own studio/workshop, putting his two favorite disciplines at the service of each other, in an integrated approach.
Since then, BangBang has thrived on challenges and tackles design and screen printing projects of all sizes for all types of businesses.
Specializing in visual identity, packaging, and print, the company relies on a personalized, collaborative approach that adapts to the needs of each of its clients. The idea is to involve them throughout the process, immersing them in the studio's world while immersing themselves in their passion.
It is clear that this was a winning bet, since 14 years later, BangBang has become a benchmark in these two fields and has received numerous awards, both here and internationally.
In 2016, the workshop launched a brand new event service, strengthening its position in screen printing. By combining tradition and modernity, this offering has become unique in Quebec, and even in Canada. Since then, the mobile workshop has been touring events in the Montreal region, aboard a small, gleaming 1980 Gumman, to showcase this wonderful printing method.
In 2019, BangBang took the liberty of thinking big, by moving its headquarters to the east end of Montreal, in front of the Longue-Pointe military base. A year of great change and a gain of more than 1,500 sq. ft., with a garage and mezzanine... a dream!
In 2020, the studio and workshop had to adapt to the global situation we're all experiencing (#it'sgoingtobeokay). This allowed us to implement new initiatives to motivate us and keep us going, such as BangCamp and our mobile creation studio. This was followed by the launch of our coffee brand, BeanBean, which has been a huge success.
In 2022, the studio had its biggest year yet in terms of creative recognition. Projects like BeanBean and Cafélimo brought us tremendous visibility online and in competitions here and abroad. So much so that we seized the opportunity to travel to England to collect our biggest prize ever, a Pentawards Platinum.
In 2025, after 13 years in Montreal, BangBang is preparing to evolve like never before, since the company has been repositioned (since April 2025) in the beautiful region of Estrie – Eastern Townships, more precisely in Lac-Brome. The services offered are essentially the same, but with a different approach, since the emphasis is placed on "real" small / medium productions in screen printing (paper / textile) and the creative aspect (visual identity, packaging and all derivatives) takes on more importance on a daily basis.
