Before we were The National Group (TNG), we were The Copy Print Shop. Operating out of a tight, bustling building on Stadium Street, proudly catering to Purdue University students and the local Greater Lafayette community.

Two major facility moves, a name change, and 54 years of evolution later, a lot has changed. We’ve traded those earlier machines for cutting-edge digital presses, advanced variable data tech, and full-scale direct mail fulfillment.

But through every shift, our core foundation has remained exactly the same: our dedication to precision and the incredible people behind the machines.

Leading up to on October 21st, we are pulling back the curtain on our journey and introducing you to the team members who bring your projects to life every day.
