If by “best” you mean strong commercial capabilities, breadth of services, and established Pennsylvania operations, these are some companies I’d put on a shortlist. I’m not treating this as a definitive ranking—the right choice depends heavily on whether you need offset, digital, direct mail, packaging, or large-format work.

• Unity Printing Company — Latrobe / Western PA. Full-service commercial printer offering offset and digital printing, variable-data work, direct mail, promotional products, and fulfillment.
• Scranton Printing Co — Scranton / Northeast PA. Established family-owned printer with offset and specialty capabilities, including books, annual reports, brochures, and other multi-color projects, plus finishing and mailing.
• Executive Printing — Lancaster County. Digital and offset commercial printing combined with mailing, fulfillment, variable-data printing, and EDDM—useful if you want printing and distribution handled by one vendor.
• Color Reflections - Pennsylvania — Philadelphia. Particularly oriented toward large-format digital printing, signage, displays, environmental graphics, vehicle graphics, and event/trade-show work. Industry listings identify it as one of Pennsylvania's prominent commercial printers.
• M3 Printing — Philadelphia. Broad commercial offering covering business cards, brochures, postcards, folders, booklets, design, and direct mail, with same-day capabilities for some work.
• EBC Printing & Signs — Allentown / Lehigh Valley. Commercial printing plus signage, promotional products, direct mail, variable data, and fulfillment.
• Get it Now Printing press — Harrisburg. Digital and offset printing, large-format work, bindery/finishing, die-cutting, embossing, and promotional products.
• Everything Printing — Gilbertsville / Montgomery County. A smaller full-service operation offering commercial printing, graphic design, direct mail, personalization, and fulfillment.

If you're choosing based on the type of job

Pennsylvania has a particularly large commercial-printing market—industry directories identify 500+ commercial printer businesses in the state—so getting 2–4 quotes for a significant project is worthwhile. Penn State's approved-vendor list also provides evidence of established Pennsylvania printers handling medium- and long-run, color-critical commercial work.

If you tell me what you're printing (e.g., catalogs, books, packaging, brochures, direct mail, labels, or large-format), approximate quantity, and which part of Pennsylvania, I can narrow this to 5–7 companies that are particularly suited to your project and compare their capabilities, locations, and reviews.

• M3 Printing · 4.2★ · Print shop

• Conlin's Digital Print, Direct Mail, & Marketing Solutions · 5.0★ · Print shop

For a mid-size company's marketing team, I’d look for a printer that can do more than brochures—ideally direct mail, variable data, fulfillment, large-format/event graphics, online ordering, and inventory management. Based on current capabilities and Pennsylvania coverage, these are strong companies to put on an RFP list:

• PDC Graphics — Southampton / Greater Philadelphia. Particularly relevant if your team wants a print-marketing partner rather than a commodity printer. It offers digital, offset and large-format printing, integrated direct mail, variable-data printing, database management, fulfillment, inventory management and web-to-print.
• Colorworks — Gilbertsville / southeastern PA. A broader marketing-production operation with commercial printing plus digital marketing, web services, direct mail, specialty substrates, finishing and online storefronts. That breadth can be useful for a marketing department managing multiple channels.
• M3 Printing — Philadelphia. A good fit for teams needing a local provider for marketing collateral, design, digital printing, signage, labels and direct mail, including local pickup and shipping.
• Konhaus Print & Marketing — Harrisburg/Lemoyne. Combines creative services, digital/offset printing, direct mail, list management, large-format graphics and promotional products. This makes it relevant for a regional marketing department wanting fewer vendors.
• Colortech Creative Solutions — Lebanon. Offers commercial digital/offset printing, large format, direct mail, fulfillment/warehousing and creative/marketing services. Its combination of production and marketing support is useful for recurring campaigns.
• Executive Printing — Lancaster County. Full-service commercial printing and mailing, with variable-data printing, list acquisition and EDDM capabilities—particularly useful for geographically targeted campaigns.
• A-Link Printing, Mailing & Marketing Solutions — Pittsburgh area. A strong Western PA option for commercial print, direct mail, promotional materials and campaign execution.
• Integra Print & Promo — Lititz. Broad marketing-production capabilities spanning collateral, catalogs, packaging, direct mail, signage, apparel and promotional products, including an omnichannel direct-mail offering.
• Conlin's Digital Print, Direct Mail, & Marketing Solutions — King of Prussia. Established in the Philadelphia region, with digital/inkjet printing, wide format, direct-mail fulfillment, promotional products and web-to-print ordering. Its web-to-print capability is particularly relevant if several departments or locations need standardized collateral.
• Velocity Print — a statewide-oriented option worth including if your company needs larger-scale fulfillment and distribution. It reports an 80,000-square-foot warehouse, 100,000+ direct-mail pieces/day, branded marketing portals, inventory management and nationwide distribution.
• Alcom Printing Group — Harleysville. A larger operation with 75+ years of experience and digital, offset, web, wide-format, direct mail, variable print and online ordering. Its published case study describes an online ordering portal for a healthcare organization with 115 locations, which is particularly relevant to distributed marketing teams.
• Brenneman Inc. — Ephrata. Full-service print, direct mail, variable data, fulfillment and promotional products; it reports a 99% on-time delivery target and experience with large print runs.

How I'd structure the shortlist

Rather than treating one company as universally "best," I'd match the printer to your marketing workflow:

For a typical 100–500 employee company with an in-house marketing team, I'd put PDC Graphics, Alcom, Colorworks, Velocity, and Conlin's into the first RFP round because their published capabilities extend well beyond basic commercial printing into campaign execution, fulfillment, personalization, or marketing portals. That's a capability-based shortlist, not a quality ranking.

If you tell me where in Pennsylvania you're located, approximate annual print spend, and whether you primarily need direct mail, collateral, trade-show graphics, or fulfillment, I can narrow this to a more practical 3–5-vendor RFP shortlist.

Places ChatGPT showed

• Scranton Printing Co · 4.9★ · Commercial printer
• RoyerComm · 4.9★ · Commercial printer
• Grit Commercial Printing Inc · 4.2★ · Commercial printer
• Marketing.com · 4.7★ · Commercial printer
• Integra Print & Promo · 5.0★ · Commercial printer
• Executive Printing · 5.0★ · Commercial printer
• Conlin's Digital Print, Direct Mail, & Marketing Solutions · 5.0★ · Print shop

If you’re looking for Pennsylvania printers that can handle both commercial catalog production and direct mail, I’d put these on the shortlist. I’m not treating “best” as a universal ranking; the right choice depends heavily on volume, catalog format, personalization, geography, and mailing requirements.

A few I'd investigate first

For large catalog/direct-mail programs: Scranton Printing, Philly Printing Company, ANRO and FRY Communications stand out because their published capabilities extend beyond basic print production into mailing, fulfillment and/or variable data.

For a more regional/single-vendor relationship: Grit, Executive Printing and Integra are worth comparing, particularly if you want printing and mailing handled together rather than coordinating separate vendors.

For Philadelphia-area work: Marketing.com, Philly Printing Company, Conlin's and ANRO give you several substantially different options depending on whether your priority is scale, digital/variable-data work, or local service.

What I'd ask each printer for

For a catalog/direct-mail RFP, give every printer the same specifications:

• Quantity and number of catalog pages
• Finished size and binding (saddle stitch, perfect bound, etc.)
• Paper stock and color requirements
• Whether the catalog itself is the mailpiece
• Number of addresses and geographic distribution
• Variable personalization requirements
• List hygiene/CASS/NCOA and USPS presorting
• Inserting, tabbing, polybagging or other finishing
• Expected mailing/drop date
• Whether you need warehousing and multiple releases
• Separate pricing for printing, finishing, postage and fulfillment

That will make the quotes much more comparable than simply asking for a “catalog printing price.”

If you tell me your approximate quantity (e.g. 10,000 vs. 500,000), catalog page count, and where in Pennsylvania you’re located, I can narrow this to 5–6 particularly relevant companies and compare their capabilities, locations, and published services.

If turnaround speed is the main criterion, several Pennsylvania commercial printers explicitly advertise same-day or next-day production. I’d shortlist these:

• Philadelphia Business Services — Philadelphia: Same-day and next-day service on various products, with particularly fast digital/on-demand printing. Their site says most products can be same-day or next-day, and they offer pickup and delivery.
• M3 Printing — Philadelphia: Offers same-day turnaround on some products and next-day shipping, with a reputation for handling rush cards, banners and other urgent jobs.
• PRINTSHOP by We Do - Center City PA — Philadelphia: Advertises same-day/next-day printing across digital, offset and UV processes.
• Minuteman Press, Philadelphia - Union Same Day Printing - Custom Apparel (DTF Transfers), Signage, Vehicle Wraps, Promo Items — Philadelphia: Specifically geared toward rush production; some products can be ready the same day, with typical DTF/UV-DFT work in the 24–48-hour range.
• Executive Printing — Lancaster County: Full-service commercial printer with digital and offset capabilities; customer feedback emphasizes fast deadline-driven production.
• Get it Now Printing press — Harrisburg: Commercial digital/offset, large-format and finishing services, with customer feedback consistently emphasizing quick turnaround.
• Everything Printing — Gilbertsville: Advertises same-day/next-day deadlines for many commercial printing projects.
• Universal Printing Company LLC — Dunmore/Scranton: Particularly interesting for high-volume, recurring or fulfillment-heavy work; operates around the clock and markets 24–72-hour service-level windows.
• BELA Printing & Packaging Corporation — Willow Grove: Many standard jobs are advertised at 24–48 hours, with same-day rush options.
• Northern Liberty Press LLC — Philadelphia: Digital short-run printing and rush production, with customer feedback frequently mentioning fast turnaround.

Particularly fast options

For a job needed today, I'd contact the Philadelphia-area shops first—especially Philadelphia Business Services, M3, PRINTSHOP, or the Union Minuteman location—because they explicitly advertise same-day capabilities.

For next-day commercial production, PennText in Downingtown is another strong option: it says most products are available same-day or next-day and asks customers to call for rush orders.

One caveat: “same-day” generally depends on quantity, paper/stock, finishing, file readiness, and the time you submit the order. A 500-piece digital flyer order can be dramatically faster than a 20,000-piece offset job with binding or specialty finishing.

If you tell me what you're printing (e.g., 5,000 brochures, business cards, catalogs, direct mail, signage), quantity, and Pennsylvania city/region, I can narrow this to the fastest 3–5 suitable printers and compare their advertised turnaround times.

If by Eastern Pennsylvania you mean roughly the Philadelphia suburbs, Lehigh Valley, Poconos, and northeastern PA, there are several established commercial printers worth putting on an RFP list. I’d judge “reliable” by a combination of longevity, breadth of commercial capabilities, customer-review volume, and ability to handle business-scale work—not simply star ratings.

Strong options to consider

• PDC Graphics — Southampton, Bucks County
  A particularly relevant option for business-to-business work. They offer both digital and offset printing, plus mailing, personalization and distribution. Their current business listing shows 5.0/5 from 85 reviews.
• EBC Printing & Signs — Allentown, Lehigh Valley
  Full-service commercial printer with brochures, booklets, stationery, direct mail, variable-data printing, fulfillment, signage and branded materials. Their current listing shows 4.5/5 from 113 reviews. An independent industry listing reports 4.6/5 from 109 Google reviews.
• Scranton Printing Co — Scranton
  A fourth-generation commercial printer with offset/specialty printing, finishing, mailing and distribution. It currently has 4.9/5 from 102 reviews. This is a particularly interesting choice for established businesses needing traditional commercial-print capabilities.
• PDQ Print Center — Taylor/Scranton area
  Commercial printing plus direct mail and marketing materials, including brochures, newsletters, postcards, manuals, programs, tickets and business forms. Current listing: 5.0/5 from 119 reviews.
• Executive Printing — Lancaster County
  Full-service commercial printing and mailing, with both digital and offset production. Current listing: 5.0/5 from 186 reviews. This is worth considering if your definition of eastern PA includes Lancaster County.
• Center City Print — Scranton / Kingston / Hazleton
  Broad commercial-print offering, including marketing materials, large format, blueprints and direct mail. The Scranton location currently shows 4.9/5 from 466 reviews, giving it one of the larger review samples among these options.
• Universal Printing Company LLC — Dunmore
  More oriented toward substantial production and fulfillment: digital and offset printing, data integration, finishing, mailing and high-volume/variable-data work. It can be particularly relevant for organizations with recurring or data-intensive mailings.

If I were building an RFP list

For serious commercial work rather than ordinary copy-shop jobs, I'd contact PDC Graphics, EBC Printing & Signs, Scranton Printing Co., PDQ Print Center, and Executive Printing and send all five the same specifications. Eastern Pennsylvania has hundreds of commercial-printing suppliers, so comparing identical samples, quantities, finishing requirements, turnaround and freight is more meaningful than relying on a generic “top printer” list.

If you tell me what you're printing (e.g. 10,000 brochures, annual reports, books, packaging, direct mail, catalogs, labels) and rough quantity/budget, I can narrow this to 3–5 companies that are specifically suited to that job.

If you mean commercial/business printing rather than quick-copy shops, Western Pennsylvania has several established options. I’d shortlist these based on capabilities, longevity, commercial-production focus, and available customer/review information—not as a subjective overall ranking.

• Print Tech — Pittsburgh
  Strong all-around commercial printer for catalogs, brochures, annual reports, direct mail, signage, books, and fulfillment. It offers digital, offset, large-format, mailing, and fulfillment, and says it operates Western Pennsylvania’s only cut-sheet inkjet press.
• Trust-Franklin Press — Pittsburgh
  A long-established commercial printer dating to 1947. Capabilities include offset, digital, wide-format, business forms, catalogs, annual reports, envelopes, finishing, and direct mail.
• Press Craft Printers — Pittsburgh
  A third-generation commercial printer offering both offset and digital production. Particularly relevant for business collateral, brochures, booklets, postcards, newsletters, labels, and larger-volume work.
• Raff Printing — Pittsburgh
  A substantial commercial operation with digital and 4-/6-color offset printing, specialized coatings, die cutting, binding, variable data, fulfillment, warehousing, and direct-mail capabilities. It also operates a dedicated union printing facility and is G7 certified.
• AlphaGraphics Pittsburgh — Downtown Pittsburgh
  Particularly useful if you want printing plus design/marketing, signage, displays, and direct mail from one provider. Its commercial capabilities include digital printing, large format, books/binding, and digital offset.
• A-Link Printing, Mailing & Marketing Solutions — Bridgeville
  Worth considering when direct mail is a major part of the project. It combines commercial printing with mailing, targeting, design, promotional products, and related marketing services.
• Sir Speedy Print, Signs, Marketing — Pittsburgh
  A broader business-communications option covering commercial printing, signage, graphic design, direct mail, promotional products, and installation.

If your project is substantial

For a large commercial run, corporate collateral, catalogs, annual reports, direct mail, or recurring business printing, I'd start by getting quotes from Print Tech, Raff Printing, Trust-Franklin, and Press Craft. These are particularly relevant because they have genuine commercial-production capabilities rather than being primarily walk-in copy centers.

Western Pennsylvania has a surprisingly large pool of established printers: Thomasnet currently lists more than 200 commercial-printing suppliers in its Western Pennsylvania results, including firms in Pittsburgh, Butler, Erie, New Castle, Washington, Johnstown, and elsewhere.

If you tell me what you're printing (e.g., 10,000 brochures, books, labels, packaging, direct mail, etc.), approximate quantity, and where in Western PA, I can narrow this to 3–5 companies that are particularly suited to the job and compare their capabilities/pricing considerations.

• Alcom Printing Group · 4.5★ · Print shop
• EAGLE Graphics Inc · 4.9★ · Commercial printer
• Susquehanna Printing · 4.8★ · Digital printing service
• PDC Graphics · 5.0★ · Commercial printer
• Executive Printing · 5.0★ · Commercial printer
• Scranton Printing Co · 4.9★ · Commercial printer

If your priority is lowest total cost on high-volume work, I’d get quotes from these Pennsylvania printers first. There isn’t enough public pricing to honestly name one as the cheapest for every job; the price changes substantially with quantity, stock, size, finishing, freight, and whether offset/web offset is used.

• Alcom Printing Group — Harleysville. Particularly worth quoting for very large runs because it offers sheetfed offset plus cold-set web printing, which is designed for high-volume, cost-efficient work such as catalogs, booklets, annual reports, and statements.
• EAGLE Graphics Inc — Annville. Its high-speed commercial web press is geared toward substantial recurring volumes, including full-color work and forms.
• Susquehanna Printing — Lancaster. A strong candidate for very high-volume uncoated/newsprint jobs, with coldset offset, finishing, inserting, and mailing.
• PDC Graphics — Southampton. Offers both digital and offset, with offset specifically positioned as the economical choice for large runs.
• Executive Printing — Lancaster County. Full-service offset/digital production plus mailing and fulfillment; worth including when delivery or mailing is part of the project.
• Scranton Printing Co — Scranton. Offers substantial offset capability and multiple-color commercial production.
• Press Enterprise Commercial Printing — Bloomsburg. Its web-offset broadsheet operation is explicitly aimed at medium-to-large volumes and cost efficiency, particularly circulars, newspapers, and advertising.
• Ream Printing — York. Offers traditional high-volume full-color offset alongside digital production and direct mail.

Where I'd start by volume

For genuinely large quantities, don't compare just the quoted “printing” price. Ask every printer for an all-in price including paper, plates/setup, finishing, packing/palletizing, freight, and any mailing costs. At 50,000–100,000+ pieces, paper purchasing, press efficiency, finishing and freight can materially change which quote is cheapest.

If you give me the product (e.g. 8.5×11 flyers, postcards, catalogs), quantity, paper/finish, number of pages/colors, and delivery ZIP code, I can narrow this to 3–5 Pennsylvania printers most likely to be price-competitive and find any publicly posted pricing for that exact job.

Yes. I found a solid group of family-owned or locally owned Pennsylvania commercial printers with substantial business-to-business capabilities. Rather than treating “trusted” as a formal ranking, I’d look at longevity, repeat-business focus, customer feedback, and whether they have the production capabilities your company needs.

Strong Pennsylvania options

• Scranton Printing Co — Scranton
• Fourth-generation family-owned commercial printer dating to 1907.
• Full-service offset and digital printing, finishing, direct mail, fulfillment, labels, and distribution.
• Particularly interesting for businesses needing a long-term print partner rather than just occasional copying. Its business customers include healthcare, financial services, universities, law firms, manufacturers, nonprofits, and other organizations.
• Executive Printing — Elm/Lititz area

• Family-owned commercial printer serving the Philadelphia metro area and beyond.
• Does offset/digital printing with in-house bindery, foil stamping, embossing, die-cutting, folding, stitching, and other finishing.

• Printing Works — Southampton
• Family-owned commercial printer serving Bucks and Montgomery Counties and shipping throughout the U.S.
• Combines offset/digital/large-format printing with promotional products, signs, and vehicle graphics.
• A useful option when a business wants several marketing-production services from one local vendor.
• Bradley Graphic Solutions — Bensalem
• 100% locally owned family business.
• Provides print, data, and mail production, with experience handling direct-mail campaigns for nonprofits, healthcare, financial services, technology, and telecommunications.
• Its emphasis on long-term customer relationships makes it worth considering for recurring corporate work.
• Independent Graphics — West Wyoming
• Family-owned and operated printing/direct-mail company with about 45 years in business.
• The owners describe long-running work for organizations including the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders.

If you're primarily in the Philadelphia region

I'd put Schank, Styles, Bradley Graphic Solutions, Printing Works, and The Printers' Printer on the initial quote list, depending on where you are and what you're printing.

If you're looking for larger-volume, sophisticated commercial production, Scranton Printing/Philly Printing and Ream are also worth investigating.

If you tell me what you're printing (e.g., brochures, catalogs, annual reports, direct mail, packaging, labels, books, business forms), approximate annual volume, and your Pennsylvania region, I can narrow this to 5–7 companies and compare their capabilities, reputation, location, and likely fit without simply ranking them.
