We’re excited to announce a major expansion to what retailers can offer through the dakis Online Photo Solution (OPS) and in-store kiosks with no production equipment required, and fulfillment available toretailers across both the USA and Canada.
Advertek, one of Canada’s leading print innovators, has officially acquired Custom Colour Imaging (CCI). This acquisition boosts production capacity and brings a much wider range of customizable, gift-ready products your customers can design themselves whether it be online, in-store or from any device they love using.
Both companies share a long-standing reputation for premium quality, meticulous craftsmanship, and beautifully finished products — a standard retailers can confidently stand behind.
Your Customers Can Create Their Own Personalized Products - Anytime, Anywhere
One of the biggest advantages for retailers is simple:
Customers can design their own custom photo products directly from their phone, tablet, or computer and you earn the sale.
Whether they’re building a photo book on a laptop, designing a mug on their iPad, or creating wall art straight from their camera roll, the dakis platform makes it effortless. Advertek produces the order with exceptional quality and attention to detail, and your store becomes the hero that delivers a premium finished product.
It’s a seamless, modern shopping experience that keeps customers choosing local retailers over mass-market competitors.
Reassurance for Existing CCI Users
If you already offer CCI products through dakis, your connection remains in place.
Custom Colour Imaging is now part of Advertek; their expertise, processes, and high-quality standards are being carried forward and strengthened with more people, more equipment, more resources, and the same dedication to top-tier craftsmanship.
Your existing workflow stays the same on the dakis side. Behind the scenes, you now benefit from a larger, more robust production partner known for exceptional print quality and beautifully finished products.
As Advertek Co-CEO Joe Montalbano shared:
“This strategic move… significantly boosts our capacity to provide personalized and embellished products.”
