Our Story

Ep. 1 | Our Roots: The story behind Campus Ink. Tom Coleman and Jedd Swisher had a successful printing company on the University of Illinois campus. Nearing retirement two, 55-year-olds did not think they would want to grow the business. That all changed in 2015.

Ep. 2 | Reinventing the Brand: Summer 2017 we hired one of our college student employees to rebrand our business and thus "Campus Sportswear" became "Campus Ink". "When I started with the company, which was then "Campus Sportswear", I noticed right away that the brand was fairly outdated and definitely look like a small family-owned operation - and pretty quickly I realized that that was not the ambitions of the company moving forward." - Jeff Urbahn

Ep. 3 | Expanding the Company: April of 2018, we were told we would have to be out of our building. Basically, the land got sold and it has been a deal that's been going on for several years and we would have to vacate. It was actually a blessing in disguise because it forced us to step on the gas, find a new place and scale this business.
