Copies Overnight opened for business in a one-room office in Wheaton on October 19, 1987. The facility was barely large enough to house co-owners Steve Johnson and Chuck Legorreta, a Kodak 300 copier and a paper drill.

Realizing the vast potential of high-speed copiers, the partners formed a document reproduction organization using only these advanced technology printing systems and began to specialize in black and white technical documentation.

In August 1992, Copies Overnight moved into a modern plant facility at 294 Carlton Drive, Carol Stream. The 11,000 sq. ft. building houses the firm's high-speed document copying and finishing equipment, warehousing and shipping facilities and offices.

Today, the company operates four Xerox Docutechs to produce 11 million impressions per month in meeting the special document reproduction needs of clients in the general business, governmental, printing trade, professional, technical and institutional fields.

In 1996, the firm was named one of the Top 50 Fastest Growing Printers by American Printer magazine. Along with sales growth, award nominees are judged on profitability, customer service, quality management and factors that differentiate them from their competitors.

Within the past 18 months, the company has received two Premier Print Awards from the Printing Industries of America. The awards program is known throughout the graphic arts industry as the most prestigious competition honoring excellence in print.
