Welcome to The Kingswood Press
Founded in 1863, The Kingswood Press has been owned and operated by the Swaffield family since 1948 when Gordon “Bud” Swaffield purchased the business. Bud ran the company for 36 years before his son and wife, William and Rebecca, both already working full-time in the business, took it over in 1984. Bill and Becky continue to operate the Press today with a staff of three full-time employees and Becky part time.

As the printing industry evolved over the years, The Press kept pace–moving from letterpress to offset while adding computer typesetting and most recently, digital color printing. Despite the innovations in printing methods, the Press continues to embrace the craftsmanship of both letterpress and offset and produces a wide range of superior work in both processes.
The Swaffield family’s philosophy for 60 years has been to offer the highest level of quality and service at reasonable prices and to always deliver on time. For the Swaffields, quality means attention to details from prepress to bindery. Excellent service comes from the personal interaction between client and staff throughout the entire process.
