A
t Rieck’s Printing, we realize that giving back to the community is important for any business. We are proud of the work we do for our community and we know that what you contribute to your community is a large part of your business as well. We help to broaden your reach with the perfect printed piece to get your message across and show everyone in your community how grateful you are to be a part of it, just like we are in West Reading!
Rieck’s Printing continues to operate as a family owned business, today, just as we did in our humble beginnings in 1936. It was in 1966 that Rieck’s Printing made the move to West Reading, and has called West Reading home ever since.

Our fundraising division, Rieck’s Publications, is extremely community focused. We specialize in a variety of fundraising projects for all types of non-profit organizations and groups such as school sports teams, booster clubs, fire companies, musical and fraternal organizations and more. We provide program books, calendars, posters and placemats for the organizations. It is our goal to help make each organization’s fundraising project a success. We have strived to be at the forefront of the print industry and to continue our legacy of a family business where all of our customers are a part of “our community family.”
Conducting business “off the Avenue” at the corner of 1st Avenue and Franklin Streets, we are often overlooked when thinking of the usual West Reading businesses. This isn’t untrue; we don’t have a window on Penn Avenue. We do have a sign, above our building, that tens of thousands have seen numerous times on 422 bypass travels. But, on or off the avenue, Rieck’s Printing is committed to the community of West Reading, to our fellow businesses in the borough, as well as the residents. We strive to assist our community in any way we can. We serve on the board for the Business Promotions Committee of the West Reading Revitalization Foundation, working with other West Reading businesses to drive traffic to our great borough. We do this by actively participating in the activities of the business Promotions Committee, and by working with various West Reading businesses to share their message, and promote them within the borough and beyond, with postcards, brochure, mailings and other various items. We also work directly with the borough, producing the recreation guide as well as your borough newsletter, and more. Rieck’s believes in the tight knit community of our borough, and are honored to be a part of it. We are a member of Friends of the Reading Hospital Board, and are hands on in the West Reading community, connecting businesses and individuals, working to strengthen our community and assist each other with their needs. The connections we have made through this have been invaluable, for those we can assist, as well as allowing us to share the community concerns with other businesses and the borough community. lovewestreading.org
