A SUCCESS STORY
STILL BEING WRITTEN

In 1965, our founders Don Wightman, Richard Bastian and Richard Prendergast began Instant Copy Services, a tiny one-room print and copy facility in Philadelphia, PA. At the time, no one could have imagined the explosive growth the company would experience over the next six decades. Despite this growth, we have maintained a client-centric philosophy established and upheld by our founders.

1965

Instant Copy Service began operations in Philadelphia on one floor with one small press and one pressman who made all the magic happen. ICS expanded to four floors in this building until a fire five years later forced founders Don Wightman, Richard Bastian and Richard Prendergast to relocate across town.

1970

In this temporary location here on Juniper Street, ICS made a decision that would forever alter the path of its business. The company purchased an Apollo Web Offset Press — and entered the world of direct-mail marketing.

1971

With a more permanent space in 1971, ICS continued its copy work but envisioned the growth possibilities offered by direct mail. The company expanded production capabilities to three web presses.

1975

Further expansion came in 1975 with the purchase of this elegant structure on Chestnut Street. ICS now occupied three of the building’s four floors and featured four web presses and an expansive bindery.

1980

With web operations humming at a growing rate, ICS again needed more space. The company acquired the 2055 Richmond Street location. ICS now managed 45,000 square feet and the necessary shipping-and-receiving facilities that allowed for further expansion beyond the Delaware Valley.

1984

It’s 1984 and business was booming. ICS moved its operations into a 100,000 square-foot facility down the block in the Port Richmond neighborhood. Here, the company honed its direct-response skills, adding in-house market data and mailing services to become a "one-stop shop" for prospective clients.

2017

The suburbs beckoned. In 2017, ICS left Philadelphia for West Deptford, NJ and a magnificent facility with more than 200,000 square feet.

OUR PRESENT

Today, ICS operates out of a magnificent state-of-the-art 500,000 square-foot facility in West Deptford, NJ. More than mail, ICS now offers a complete suite of creative development and production services — from strategic planning through the creative process and into project execution — and manages multi-platform marketing campaigns with agency-like precision and expertise.
