Ann Arbor graphic design and advertising company, Wagner Design Associates, designed the magazine using elements to showcase Printwell’s wide range of capabilities. At first touch, readers notice the cover’s unique suede-like feel, created using an innovative aqueous coating which is more cost effective than printing on an expensive paper often used for the same effect. Printwell is committed to green design and in one article readers see what soy ink looks like as well as learning about Printwell’s commitment to recycling and pollution control.

The first edition magazine explores many facets of the company and the printing industry itself. It targets creative professionals, print buyers and anyone interested in learning more about printing. Topics include What Every Print Buyer Really Wants, The Search for Stability in a Printing Partner, Eco-Friendly Printing, and Finishing Touches for a Job Well Done. It’s been extremely successful and Wagner Design has been engaged to design another edition to be published later this summer.

Printwell was founded in 1983 by CEO Paul Borg, in a 1,000 sq. ft. office. From these humble beginnings the company has grown into one of the largest commercial printing operations in Michigan. Printwell has received numerous recognitions in recent years including 5 out of 6 consecutive annual “Best of Category” awards for heatset web from The Printing House Craftsmen Club. In 2010 they were honored with “Best in Category” for sheet-fed printing. Recently, Printwell achieved G7 certification for calibrating proofing and press equipment to standards set by IDEAlliance. With sheet-fed, half-heatset web, full-heatset web, and state-of-art digital printing, Printwell offers their customers a wide range of printing services.

In addition to an engaging new design and expanded content, the Bonanza site was fully optimized for both humans and search engine spider visitors.

“We’ve received many compliments on the new site from both our guest regulars and new visitors,” said June Voldseth, owner of Bonanza Creek Country. “But even more satisfying is the significant increase in the number of visitors and the length of their stay on the site. Inquiries and reservations are up!”

Located in Montana, Bonanza Creek Country Ranch is part of a historical family ranch on 25,000 acres with 1,500 head of cattle. Along with daily opportunities for horseback riding, guests enjoy fishing, hiking, or pampering with massage and hot tub.
