Toronto is a powerhouse for film and television production, with its vibrant cityscape doubling for cities worldwide and its studios hosting some of the biggest names in the industry. Behind the scenes, every successful production relies on more than just talented actors and directors—it’s the small details, like custom fabric printing, that help bring creative visions to life. Whether it’s a one-of-a-kind backdrop, custom upholstery for a vintage sofa, or costumes that pop on screen, the demand for fast and affordable fabric printing in Toronto’s film industry is higher than ever.
At Equus Fabrics, we understand the pace and pressure of production schedules. As a Toronto-based family business with over 35 years of experience, we specialize in providing high-quality, custom fabric printing that meets the needs of the film and television industry.
We allow you to create anything you need from scratch and have it picked up within days!
When creating immersive worlds, attention to detail is everything. Fabrics play a crucial role in setting the tone, whether it’s through the intricate patterns of a costume or the rich textures of a set. Here are just a few examples of how custom fabric printing enhances production value:
The challenge? These elements often require quick turnarounds and uncompromising quality. That’s where we come in.
The Toronto film industry is fast-paced and deadline-driven. Working with a local supplier like Equus Fabrics offers distinct advantages:
Film schedules can be unpredictable. Directors and set designers may need last-minute changes or entirely new pieces overnight. Shipping fabrics internationally or even from other provinces adds unnecessary delays. As a local provider, we can offer rapid printing and delivery, often within days, to keep your production on track.
Shipping custom fabrics from out of town can quickly inflate your budget, especially for bulky orders. By choosing a Toronto-based business, you save on shipping fees and avoid currency conversion costs if ordering from the U.S. We also work closely with productions to optimize costs without sacrificing quality.
Sometimes, you need to see and feel a fabric to know it’s right. Being local means you can visit our warehouse, review samples, and collaborate directly with our team to ensure your vision is realized.
We’ve been in the business for over three decades and have worked with high-profile clients, including Netflix-affiliated productions. Our reputation is built on delivering exceptional results on time and within budget.
