Since its inception, NEELY'S INC has focused on achieving superior results for its clients.

NEELY'S INC is proud to be the only major Houston area printing firm to have operated under continuous single-family ownership for over seven decades. Over the years, NEELY has remained at the forefront of the commercial printing industry through the continuous enhancement of the company’s printing equipment and technology.

All of this was done in line with one of the guiding principles of our founder, Louis M. Newman, Jr. who said “good people and good equipment make their own market in the printing industry.” NEELY'S INC has always prided itself in having the best people and the best equipment.

Our continued growth has placed us among the twenty largest printers in the Houston area. Our work has received hundreds of awards for print quality on local, state, national and international levels.
