2023 Chamber Awards Business of the Year - Copies Plus Printing

Copies Plus Printing Inc. has been named the 2023 Business of the Year by the Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce.

Mike and Sharon Ewing opened Copies Plus Printing in Springville in June of 1984. Most of their friends told them Springville wasn’t the best place to start a business, but they have passed the test of time and proven them wrong. Their first location was at 164 S. Main, which is the current location of Funfinity.

After a short time, they outgrew this location and moved to 188 S. Main, which is currently the home of Ginger’s Garden Cafe. After a few years, it became necessary to build a new, larger facility at 717 N. Main.

Since that time, they have continued to expand, adding a production building at that same address.

In the 39 years since they opened, the business has grown from a one-man show with only one small copier to a fully-staffed printing facility serving not only Springville but also all of Utah County. They also serve many customers in Salt Lake County and even have customers outside of the state of Utah.

All the while, Copies Plus Printing has kept up with the most current technology available. In 2013, the business was selected as the Best Printer of Utah Valley in the Daily Herald’s Best of Utah Valley Readers Choice Awards. Since then, they have received that honor nine additional times, making it 10 years in a row.

All four of Mike and Sharon’s children — Kimberly, Daniel, Michael and James — have worked at Copies Plus Printing. Many of their grandkids have also worked in this family business. Other employees have joined the staff over the years, each one assisting in the company’s goals of caring for customers and providing outstanding service.

These competent staff members, both current and past, have helped make Copies Plus Printing what it is today. Their staff has always been considered part of “the Copies Plus Printing family.”

Copies Plus Printing is a full-service facility. With an outstanding graphic design department, full bindery services and an efficient shipping department, they can take your project from an idea to a finished product you can be proud of.

The driving force of this business has always been working with the best customers in the world. Copies Plus Printing has given decades of service to the citizens of Springville and Mapleton.

As a lifelong resident of Springville and Springville High School Red Devil alumnus, Mike Ewing has given back to the community with donations to Springville High School, the Springville

Museum of Art, the Springville Historical Society, the Springville Kiwanis Club, the Springville Chamber of Commerce and many other organizations.

Many young men and women have been the beneficiaries of the Ewings’ generosity as they have sponsored student athletes, sports teams, various clubs, Miss Springville candidates and Eagle Scouts.

Looking to the future, Copies Plus Printing will continue adapting to the ever-changing printing industry. Whether you need letterhead and envelopes, business cards, carbonless forms, marketing materials, educational curriculum items, athletic sports guides, family histories, graduation or wedding announcements, etc., they stand ready to make the process simple and create something you can be proud of.
