1970’s & 1980’s

Computerization and Modernization

In 1970, Continental Envelope computerized its costing system to help better estimate the manufacturing of envelopes. This began a fifty-year process of improvement has led to our rapid response quote system that continues to satisfy the needs of our customers. During this period, additional machines were brought in to produce the finest quality envelopes at new speeds of 200,000 envelopes per shift. In 1985, Fred Margulies joined the company. His vision led to the move to Geneva, Illinois.
