My name is Wert Smith, and for years my family, employees and I have had the privilege of being your printer. Today I get to share something I'm genuinely thrilled about.
Owen Printing has joined Rickland! After 140 years serving Central and Southside Virginia, I couldn't be more excited about what this next chapter means — for us, and for you.
This isn't a goodbye — it's a step forward. I've gotten to know the Rickland team, and I can tell you firsthand: they care about doing right by customers just as much as we always have. Over the coming weeks, you'll see the Owen Printing name transition to Rickland, and I'll be right there through it, cheering it on.
Have questions? The Rickland team would genuinely love to hear from you. Reach out anytime:
Tyler Rick at [email protected]

On a sad note, we will be closing our Petersburg location July 31st. I want to say thank you to everyone who's ever come by, given us their patronage or even just given us a chance. We've appreciated it more than I can express.
Thank you,
Wert Smith
President
Owen Printing Company
