BONITA SPRINGS, Fla., August 11, 2022 – Presstige Printing, Florida’s premier commercial print and direct mail provider, announced that it is the recipient of the 2022 Innovation Award from SWFL, Inc. Presented to company president, Westley Weidenmiller, during the 2022 INCredible Awards, the Innovation Award recognizes a Southwest Florida company each year for their efforts in creating unique, forward-thinking solutions for its customers and the Southwest Florida community. Innovative practices considered include any number of creative solutions from designing original products to developing new processes and technologies.


In the last decade, Presstige Printing has undergone a process of continuous improvement, including a significant investment in state-of-the-art printing technology. The company recently invested in a Heidelberg CX102 with LED UV drying technology, and a Fuji J Press inkjet press, bringing the quality of an offset press with the speed and convenience of a digital press to their customers. Additionally, in 2021, Weidenmiller recognized the early signs of an industry-wide print paper shortage and took progressive steps to stockpile resources to ensure that Presstige would have adequate supply to meet the needs of the community.


“Although the past few years have been challenging, our team has handled the challenges head-on,” commented Weidenmiller.


“Our investment in people, technology, and raw materials allow us to meet these challenges while delivering world-class printing services to the thousands of customers who depend on us.”


In addition to receiving the INCredible Innovation Award, Presstige was honored by SWFL, Inc. in 2020 for their contributions to the Bonita Springs and Southwest Florida communities with the Small Business of the Year Award.
