Wise CEO Bill Prettyman to help lead Ben Franklin Honor Society induction

Wise president and CEO Bill Prettyman will help lead the Ben Franklin Honor Society induction ceremony during PRINTING United Expo 2026, taking place September 23-25 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Wise, a trade-only manufacturer of business forms and industrial and prime labels, operates five production facilities in Georgia, Indiana, Maine, Pennsylvania and South Carolina.

Prettyman, who was inducted into the Ben Franklin Honor Society in 2016 and currently serves as its chairman, will participate in welcoming the Society’s newest class of honorees on September 23 at 1 p.m.

The Ben Franklin Honor Society, one of PRINTING United Alliance’s highest honors, recognizes individuals who have made significant and lasting contributions to the printing and graphic communications industry. Its approximately 250 members represent segments throughout the printing industry and are nominated and elected by their peers.

“Being inducted into the Ben Franklin Honor Society is one of the great honors of my career because it comes from the people who know this industry best, my peers,” says Prettyman. “Now to have a part in welcoming a new class of honorees is genuinely humbling. These are men and women who have given so much to print, and celebrating them on the industry’s biggest stage is a privilege.”

Nearly a dozen of Wise’s distributor and printer customers are also members of the Ben Franklin Honor Society.

“We’ve always believed that our success is a direct result of our customers’ success,” says Prettyman. “Seeing partners we’ve worked alongside for years honored this way tells me everything about the kind of company we’re fortunate to keep.”

Wise will exhibit at PRINTING United Expo in Booth C4810.
