Mercurio Brothers

Mercurio Brothers was fantastic! They were an affordable option in letterpress invitations! Everyone there was so helpful (helping with the design, printing and shipping)! Everything was so beautiful as well! I highly recommend this vendor!

I LOVE letterpress but had a hard time justifying the cost. I found Mercurio brothers on a google search for inexpensive letterpress and they were exactly what I wanted. I designed the invites myself in InDesign with a font I purchased (Burgues Script). Very simple and elegant. The quality was great for the price and they even let me use Crane's Lettra instead of their stock paper for the same price. I designed all 3 pieces on one large sheet of paper and cut them myself at Kinko's, which also saved me money. I had one color letterpress on nice paper for the price of having someone else design and print (non letterpress) invites. Highly recommend for the letterpress lover who's willing to put some work in herself!

I fell in love with letterpress, but not with the hefty pricetag that usually comes along with it! I heard about Mercurio Brothers and looked into them and I am so happy I did. They don't really do custom work from scratch, but if you have an idea of what you want and a basic layout of it, they can work with you. They were priced FAR better than other places I looked into and I am extremely happy with the quality of the product. I got many compliments on my invitations and am so happy I went with them. Not being a design expert, I tweaked one of the samples they have on their website to make it my own and it turned out wonderfully. You can tell them your exact specifications and they will make it work. Amazingly fast shipping on the invitations! Only gave 4 stars for rewsponsiveness because I worked with two different people there and one was better at responding to emails than the other, but overall nothing to complain about. Would highly recommend.

If you have the means to design your own invitations and love letterpress, than this is definitely the way to go. i wasn't interested in the traditional multi piece invite, so I was thrilled to be able to design a one piece invite and have it letterpressed for a fraction of the cost. Very professional, but very hands-off. Make sure you understand file types and how to email large files.

I was set on letterpress for my invitations, but didn't think we could afford it. Mercurio Brothers provided a service I could afford! I designed my own invitation, they were very helpful during the proofing process to make sure things ended up well, and the invitations turned out wonderfully. Highly recommended.

Mercurio Brothers did a fantastic job letterpressing our invitations, which were designed by the talented Kimi Weart of Printable Press. Turn around time was really quick, and everyone I dealt with was super professional, helpful and competent. Their prices on letterpress are about half of what other people charge and the work is outstanding!

I didn't work directly with Mercurio Brothers for our letterpress invitations but my DOC did. We trusted our DOC completely when it came to our invites and she highly recommended MB for letterpress.

We got our invitations just last week and they were GORGEOUS!! Exactly what I wanted and expected. They arrived shrink-wrapped and just perfectly packaged. The thickness of their most popular Somerset paper was perfect; not too crazy thick but enough to really compliment the printing.

I would definitely recommend them to any ladies looking for affordable letterpress! :)

I wanted letterpress, but didn't want to pay for the designing and printing. I ordered samples from a few letterpress printers-only, and Mercurio had the best quality by far. I designed my invitations using a trial version of Adobe Illustrator and submitted it to Mercurio. Only the invitations were letterpressed; the response card was digital and I did not have our address printed by them on the envelopes. This saved me close to 40% over other letterpress design & print companies. Correspondence with them was brief yet professional. I received a proof and approved it; then received a UPS shipment notification. They arrived on-time and in perfect condition.If you are dead-set on letterpress, and yet need an affordable option - learn Illustrator or ask a skilled friend to help you - Mercurio is the way to go.

Great job on our invitations! This place smells like a print shop! You can smell the inks and solvents when you walk inside. Lots of envelopes sold here from $1.20 to about $2.00, cards, calendars, etc.

Found Mercurio Brothers online and was thrilled that they offered letterpress invitations at an affordable price. I had my invitation, response card, direction card, and envelopes designed already and only needed to find a reliable letterpress specialist.

I worked with Nicole the entire time. She was responsive, but she was a bit spacey and had no idea what she was doing at times. I had her ship everything overnight since I was running tight with the deadline. Nicole failed to notify me when she had them shipped and as a result, my 3 german shepherds tore up the package when it arrived in the morning. Luckily I caught it in time and most of it were saved, but I had to reorder additional envelopes.

Other than that, the invitations turned out beautiful and elegant.

I searched for months to find a cheap company that would letterpress my invitations. I was blown away by this company's prices! Although I was working from Tennessee, we worked everything out through email, and my invitations were flawless...all the way from California. You must use this company!

I loved working with this old-fashioned print press! This business is laid back and not at all your average wedding vendor business. Joe was very personable and easy to work with. I designed my own invitations and e-mailed him the file, so I cannot comment on their graphic design skills/ability. However, I was very happy with how the final product turned out - This place does high quality printing at a fraction of the price a "wedding" print shop would. If you are motivated to do some of the legwork yourself, I would highly recommend Mercurio Brothers.

I designed my own invitations and had them letterpressed at Mercurio. If you are considering doing the same, I strongly recommend using Mercurio brothers. They have extremely reasonable prices, fast shipping and the end product turned out wonderful. However, you have to have everything print ready (pictures, spacing, colors and text) - as their graphic designers are not much assistance for these types of projects.

I cannot say enough great things about Mercurio Brothers Printing. I had a two year engagement and therefore, was able to do some extensive research and find some great wedding vendors.

The invitations they printed were actually just one layer I then sent of to another lady to assemble the many layers of my invite (she happened to only do printing, not letterpress). Not only was the turn around time quick compared to other printers, but the customer service was exceptional. I e-mailed them several times with minor changes to the reception and RSVP cards and each time, they responded the same day and were very kind.

Besides putting up with all my edits, they provided great advice and would even e-mail me examples of fonts or alignments I might like better (I always preferred their examples as they are the professionals).

I highly recommend them as they are by far the most affordable, but quality is never compromised. I plan to use them in the future for any stationary needs.

We had Mercurio Brothers print our invitations, and they are like the best! Not only are they very affordable for printing our custom designed invitations, but their turnaround time is fast and their service is professional and super friendly! You can't go wrong with Mercurio Brothers!

FANTASTIC. I looked everywhere for good quality, affordable letterpress invitations. I was very satisfied with our invitations and we were able to custom design them for no extra charge.

Mercurio Brothers did a great job printing our invitations. My fiance designed our invitations and we had a very specific idea about how we wanted them to appear, from the font to the color to a "fade" effect. Mercurio Brothers was great. When we brought our file in, they spent a lot of time talking to us about what was and what was not doable on letterpress and why. On the day they were printing our invitations, they called us and asked if we wanted to do one final check because they thought we might not like how something was coming out (not through any fault of their own, but again because we wanted one part of the card lighter than the other). We did come do a final check, and were glad we did - they made some final adjustments and the invitations came out beautifully.

Like everyone else has said, if you want letterpress and have some of your own design ideas, this is the way to go. They certainly pay a lot of attention to detail.

I got my invitations a month ago and they were spectacular. I ordered 300 5x7 invitations & RSVPs printed in two colors. The prices are unbeatable. I must say the customer service this company offer is the best. I changed my design about 5 times and each time they we're quick to get me back the proof without any complaints. I highly recommend Mercurio Brothers Printing to all those DIY brides out there who is looking for affordable letterpress invitations.

The quality of my letterpress order was great, so I really didn't want to give them a not-so-hot review. However, I recently discovered that someone else had the same problem as I did, which leads me to believe that this is an actual problem, not just a fluke.

I would also like to say that I fully intended to use Mercurio Brothers for printing for my business, so I was really disappointed with my experience there.

On their website, they say single pieces will take 2-3 weeks, and that people should call for a specific delivery date. After two weeks, I decided to call to get an exact time estimate. Turns out they lost my order. The guy on the phone was totally condescending, asking me why I placed the entire order online and why I wouldn't have called to make sure everything went through. I had to explain several times that I'd had an email exchange with one of their employees and didn't think I needed to call. Initially he told me that I would need to pay a $50 rush order fee in order to have them done by the end of the month (two weeks late), and if I wasn't willing to pay the $50, they would be done mid-June (my invites were supposed to go out at the beginning of June, and I still had to do some assembly once I got the letterpress). Needless to say, I was rather upset about the situation, because it isn't my fault that they lost my order, and I shouldn't have to pay a rush fee in order to have them done later than they should have been done in the first place.

Long story a teeny bit shorter, I had to read him several statements off of their website and all of the emails I had received before he agreed to talk to the "big boss" and get my order moved up. He gave me a delivery date. I called on that delivery date before I drove all the way over there, and it STILL wasn't done! They had written a delivery date of over a week later! I explained the situation AGAIN and was told they would be done the next day. Luckily, they were. As I said, the quality is really good, but their customer service SUCKS. I never received so much as an apology! I don't really care how busy they are--once I found out they lost another person's order, I decided to post the review. Losing orders is NOT a good thing, and neither is talking down to customers.

Long story short: IF YOU ORDER FROM MERCURIO BROTHERS, MAKE SURE TO CALL AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE INDEED GOING TO PRINT IT. Again, I am not the only person whom this has happened to.

We got our invitations a couple of days ago and are extremely pleased with them. They are exactly what I expected - beautiful and elegant. The quality of the paper is excellent (we used the somerset 300g paper) - I think our guests will be very impressed! I'm also happy that the cost was reasonable (especially for letterpress!! You can't find better prices, really), they came in on time, and that communication with the vendor was easy, especially via e-mail (although be warned that they are not open and do not answer e-mails on the weekend). My fiance designed the invitations with images they sent us through e-mail. They use Pantone colors and so we chose our colors by looking at swatches which were available at Kinko's, since we live in Southern California and could not make it into their store. If you want letterpress wedding invitations that are reasonably-priced, but also unique and high-quality, I highly recommend Mercurio Brothers. Also, love that they are mom-and-pop!

Mercurio Brothers was the most reasonable in terms of cost/quality for letterpress printing. We had a very easy time deal with them despite the time difference and distance. They were extremely helpful and prompt in meeting deadlines. Don't be mislead by no-nonsense feel of their website, they are fantastic is what they do. Very highly recommend!

I cannot say enough positive words about these guys. I've been printing invitations, brochures and the like for years and stumbled across them when I started planning our wedding. The quality of their letterpress is excellent- deep imprinting, high quality coloring and thick paper. They were fast with the printing and I felt their pricing was incredibly reasonable. I worked with Bob and Damian- both gave excellent customer service. I've already used them again and printed an invitation for bridal shower I'm hosting. I just love their work!

Note to the non-design savvy: for a nominal fee, they will design your invitation for your.

WOW!!! I loooooooove my invitations and I loooove Mercurio Brothers! Here are the reasons why:

* Great customer service
* Samples were mailed to me within 2-3 days of my purchase, and also properly labeled
* Very affordable letterpress
* When I purchased the invitations and sent them my design, they had the proof ready for me the next day
* The invitations look great and are exactly what I wanted!

I got the Somerset 500g for the invitation, and the Somerset 300g for the RSVP cards.

They are the most reasonably priced letterpress that I could find and they come highly recommended by many, myself included. MB is the way to go if you already have your design worked out. I never even check out their location even though I'm probably only 15min. away. All contact with them was 98% through email (just the way I like it!). There was no hassle and I was completely overwhelmed with their press & paper quality. Their turnaround time was fast and I even ordered more response cards at the last minute; they were able to get them to me with in a week!

I"m so glad we picked Mercurio Brothers. Their customer service was great, and the best part is the pricing. They are very affordable. The quality of the prints was amazing and the turnaround time very fast.

They rock!! My invitations turned out so.....awesome!! Of utmost high quality and service. I worked with Joe who was great! He implemented my ideas (for a small fee) and it came out beautifully. Another option would be to pay a designer or calligrapher ~$300 to design it and you can take your file to them to print. I recommend their Somerset paper because the press is deeper set. Unless you want colored paper, then the Arturo works. Good communication and turnaround time. The only negative is that if you would like liners, they do not offer that. But, you can get them online.

I loved how our invitations turned out. I provided them with a design and they returned a proof to approve within days. My only issue was with invoicing. I wasn't technically quoted a price for my entire order. I knew what the printing costs were going to be for my invitations, rsvp cards, and map, but when I added envelope printing for both rsvp envelopes and outer mailing envelopes, the price jumped up. It's really my fault, but in retrospect, I could have done a better job at asking for the total price upfront.

My job was completed in 6 weeks, kind of long, but I was warned. So my best advice would be to get your invitations in early and allow for enough time for printing in hopes of getting your invitations completed with plenty of time.

I have been using this family run business for many years and have always been extremely satisfied with their letterpress invitations. Their product is unsurpassed and the staff is more than helpful. The price is always right.
