Wichita, Kan.

Envision Inc. has announced a commercial agreement with Midwest Single Source, both of Wichita, Kan., through which Midwest will take over the printing of promotional and marketing materials.

The move will allow Envision's printing operation to focus on making business cards. The company, which uses its printing and manufacturing services to help fund its mission of helping people with impaired vision live more independently, is the largest provider of business cards to the federal government.

Headquartered in Wichita, Kan., Midwest Single Source has been a provider of custom products and solutions for more than 30 years, doing business as "Single Source" due to simplicity in conveying the message that it is a "single source for all of your office needs." However, the company recently had an opportunity to use its full trademarked name and from that instance came the desire for Midwest Single Source to redefine its presence in the marketplace.

With this issue, another successful Top Design Contest has come to a close. We received scores of entries representing every niche of products sold by distributors. Once again this year, Rick Lewis, president of Stratis Print Communications, Long Beach, Calif., took Best of Show, along with staff graphic designer Louis Nidorf, also from Stratis. This year's award was for a 139-page book that depicts a compelling, focused journey through Cuba. The book is comprised of photographs taken in Cuba by 18 students and two professors from Brooks Institute of Photography, Santa Barbara, Calif. Details can be found on page 24.
