National Enclosure Company (NEC), a national leader in design, manufacturing and installation of sophisticated building facades, recently chose Wagner Design Associates to design and produce their new corporate capabilities brochure. It is the focal point of NEC’s presentation kit, and will be used to showcase the firm’s exceptional products and services.

The brochure features a translucent overlay for the cover, a unique design element introduced by Wagner Design to simulate NEC’s innovative glass facades. Inside the brochure readers find a portfolio of featured projects, with imagery that showcases NEC’s capabilities.  An external pocket accommodates technical data sheets, allowing NEC to customize information for potential clients.

National Enclosure Company is a nationally-ranked curtainwall and advanced facade contractor with proven expertise in monumental and highrise curtainwall projects. NEC’s primary focus is to address the elements that create successful results: budgets, design, scheduling, materials, construction and cost-saving alternatives.

Printwell Printing, Inc.’s corporate magazine, Cover to Cover, has received a gold award in the International Association of Printing House Craftsmen’s (IAPHC) 36th International Gallery of Excellence competition. Cover to Cover joined hundreds of entrants from around the globe in competing for awards honoring excellence in the arts and sciences of graphic expression. International judges critiqued entries based on quality of production, overall visual appearance and overall difficulty of the printed piece.

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.

The Ann Arbor graphic design and advertising firm has also added a number of retail, financial and high tech organizations to its growing client roster.

With the new center, patients will benefit from better coordination among physicians and other clinical staff. Basic research will be brought to clinical application more smoothly. And everyone from medical students to practicing physicians to community members will have more opportunities to learn about the origin, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of conditions from high blood pressure and aortic diseases to heart attack and stroke.
