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

For letterpress you can't beat the price! Even the rush charge (25% additional) is reasonable considering the rush turnaround time is 2 days! The staff were very friendly and helpful -- Nicole and I exchanged many emails -- and the product itself was beautiful. I requested the deepest letterpress impression possible for our wedding invitations and they turned out stunning. Now I'm thinking about other things in my life I could letterpress... read more

Just picked up our wedding invitations and I'm just so happy with how they turned out! We didn't have a budget for letterpress although it wasn't ridiculously expensive, we chose digital print instead. Was in contact with the owner, Bob via email to inquire then I finally came in person and was helped by Jim. These guys have been very accommodating and were patient about working with me regarding the stationery I supplied. He tested it out to see if their printer would take the paper and to also see how the template which I made on my own would look when printed. He made some great suggestions on the layout so I made a few adjustments and once I sent the files back, my invitations were finished two days later. "No turning back now!" that's what Bob said. He's right though ; ) read more

I used them for my wedding invites a few years ago and they were great. I loved that they had price quotes and examples online, and they readily sent me hard samples when I requested. Like one of the previous posters said, if you can do the design yourself easily, it's an incredible bang for your buck. The letterpress they did was beautiful, and I would very much recommend them to anyone. read more

Finally got my refund! Now aside from that, I really wished they hadn't forgotten the edge painting on my business cards. I would've liked my cards even more, and this whole situation could've been avoided. What's done is done. I still like my cards, and I probably would return as a customer as they did know what they were doing when it came to the cards. read more

What a people! What a service! Got everything I wanted and even more from this guys! High quality work and great customer service! highly recommend to go to their shop to take a look at products and materials... Thanks again for unique work done over our wedding invitations! read more

These guys are awesome. If you want letterpress and are afraid you can't afford it, well come to these guys. We worked with MB after developing our own invitation suite and they were totally flexible and even suggested changing our color a bit to ensure that it'd print properly. If you're printing in the off season (wedding off season), as we were, they can turn your proofs and prints around in less than 2 weeks. However, if you're planning to print during high/regular season, plan accordingly and get them your materials early!! They get booked up! read more

Mercurio Brothers printed my beautiful letterpress wedding invitations. In the past I also used them for digitally printed business cards which also came out perfect. I laid out my invites in Adobe Illustrator, however I am definitely not a graphic designer and I really did not know what I was doing. Nicole at Mercurio Brothers took the time to carefully review my order and she let me know that I needed to slightly adjust the size of the invite so that it would nest properly into my unusually sized envelopes. I REALLY appreciated her help and care as otherwise my invites would not have looked perfect. Mercurio Brothers have all of the thick high quality paper stocks that you will see when you are looking at very expensive invitations, my invites looked like they cost at least a third more than they did. They arrived nicely wrapped and I was very proud to send them to my guests. Mercurio Brothers provides a great service and a very high quality product. read more

MB has produced several pieces for us over the past 2 years. They have a wonderful pre-press department and they are great at responding to emails/questions. The stock they have is limited, but perfect for most occasions. (You can supply your own stock if theirs does not meet your needs.) Be sure to call/email to request the current turn-around time. A+ work! read more

I designed my cousin's wedding invitations and referred her to Mercurio Brothers to have them letterpress my files on Crane Lettra. They worked with her on the Pantone color selection and they just came in the mail today. She's in love with them and just what she wanted. Most affordable option I have found for letterpress, if you can design your own. I can do small print jobs myself on my Chandler & Price tabletop, but for larger jobs I'll remember this company as a good option. read more

I am a professional wedding invitation designer and Mercurio Brothers continues to impress me with their high quality printing. I've worked with other printers around the country and I'm so glad that my neighborhood printer offers the absolute best quality. Both their letterpress printing and digital printing are excellent and they do an incredible job matching the two. They've taken on some of my (probably annoying) requests and done an incredible job every time. I totally trust them to make sure every piece I print with them turns out beautifully. On top of that, they are quick and their pricing is very competitive. Can't recommend enough! read more

Wedding invitations came out REALLY nicely. We wanted our invitations to be nice, but not cost a million dollars. Mercurio Brothers had great customer service, great turnaround time, great results. I will definitely use them again. read more

Used them to print business cards a few years ago. They did a great job & were patient and helpful through the whole process. Will be using them again soon to print some flyers. read more

I wish I could give Mercurio Brothers more stars! I took 120 wedding envelopes in on a Monday to get printed (guest address, our return address & our return envelopes) and they were ready Wednesday afternoon. Not only was the turn around incredibly fast, they were also the most reasonably cost and they look absolutely fantastic! read more

Affordable letterpress? Who woulda thought! I'm sooo happy I ran into the Mercurio Brother website. They respond to emails within a reasonable time and my wedding invitation orders came in 3 weeks as they said, and they were SIMPLY AMAZING!!!! They did a good job, exactly what I asked for. But yes, with anything you order, just confirm and follow up with pick up times and status of your order. I would definitely recommend them for your printing job. read more

Not knowing much about printing it is a great experience working with Mercurio Brothers. They gave great advice and helped me cut costs on my book layout. As an independent business owner myself I truly appreciate how hard they work. Mercurio Brothers is not just a printer, they are a printing partner. read more

To bad, I love to give great reviews to local business. But I also need to warn others that might fall into the trap of the Mercurio Brothers printing. Walking into this place reminded me of one of those places that looks like it has not been updated since 1985. The layer of dust on the, i think it may have been a mac plus or something like that, was so think it caused me to sneeze. I drove all the way down the check out a "proof" When I got there JOE who helped me originally was not there so JIM took over. JIM the guy who "helped" me was unaware of any of the specs on the project and unaware of even the pricing. There was a line of color in the print. I never got a call or email to say they needed anything different. In fact JOE told me "it was good" and he could do it. To shorten the story JIM raised his voice to me out of his lack of understanding. He told me that there equipment was broken and they where having hard times...I wonder why? Here is a suggestion. Please tell your prospective customers that your "machine" is broken. That way they at least know what to expect. I just sent to proof over to 3 other printers less then 2 miles from the "brothers". With all these choices why risk it? read more

So I had the bright idea of trying to use Lifestyle's L letterpress to do my own wedding invitations. This apparatus is good if you use no colors but good lord, it looks awful with color. So in a panic, I first exchanged emails with Joe Scott for a quote. Subsequently, I went in to give him my paper and some plates. He executes business just like I do-short, precise and sweet. He knew that I was in a time crunch to get my invitations back but one machine was out so he told me it'll take me 2 weeks vs. 1 week. At least he did not give me false expectations. When i came to get my invitations, they were perfect! I think working with Joe and Mercurio Brothers is the only smooth incident that came out of my wedding planning tasks! Thanks Joe! read more

After a failed attempt to get my wedding invitations printed in SF, I went to Mercurio Brothers printing. Jim was incredibly helpful on the phone when I explained my dilemma with the other printing company (who printed my design digitally and it looked way too light). He reassured me that there wasn't anything wrong with the design and printed a proof for me to look at in person. The digital printing was great quality and I got 100 wedding invitations with 4 inserts printed by them. Price was reasonable and turn around time was quick. Highly recommended! read more

From planning my wedding I've come to realize an odd preference of mine: I'm really into texture. It can totally change the aesthetic of something. And once I touched letterpress samples, there was no going back. Flat printed invitations just weren't going to cut it for me. But, as everyone knows, the cost of letterpress from most places is really steep! Thankfully, Google brought me to Mercurio Brothers. Their prices made letterpress fit in my budget. I'd read all of the wonderful reviews and ordered samples, so I was pretty confident that they would do a good job. They did not disappoint. I could not be happier with my invitations. They look fantastic! And even aside from the quality of the final product, the whole experience was great. I LOVED that I could see the prices instantly on their website and toy with the different options to figure out what was most economical. I designed the invitations in InDesign and then sent the files through the website. Someone got back to me the next day and I had the invitations within two weeks of giving final approval. When I decided to add an additional piece a few weeks later, I got the same great service. I highly recommend! read more

This company is awesome. Joe and Nicole helped my bride and I with our wedding invitations. They were extremely professional and did an unbelievable job with the final invitations. They were timely with emails and proofs and they got the invitations to us on the date they said they would. They price for letterpress work was unbeatable and they even gave us a a couple extra invitations than what we order that we used for extra guests. This was a great find. We highly recommend them! read more

I accidentally came by their site on Yelp. Bought my design for my wedding invite on Esty and used them to print them. I have gotten so many compliments. The reviews don't lie. They were accommodating and super easy to work with. I normally don't leave reviews but for them I will. They offer affordable prices for the amazing work they provide. Thanks again read more

I had the best experience working with Mercurio Brothers! Definitely the most reasonable letterpress shop around, and super helpful when I asked them to match my letterpress prints with a digital print. They were so amazing that I sent them a new job today. Highly recommend these guys! My thanks to Joe for all the help :) read more

Mercurio Brothers quality and low prices can't be beat. I had to send out 600 wedding invitations, and all other websites I looked at had prices $3 per invite or higher (sometimes much higher). MB gives you lower prices for higher quantities also. You do need to design your own invite, but I was glad I could make it exactly like I wanted it, including telling them the exact shade of "pantone uncoated" ink to use. I took away 1 star because they were very slow. Their website says to expect 3 weeks turnaround, but for me it was over 5 weeks. I had to send my invitations out late because I had assumed their website was correct! Be sure and call well in advance to see what their turnaround time is if you are under time constraint! After I uploaded my files, it took four days for them to get the soft proof looking like I wanted--mostly because they were very slow to reply to my emails. They won't put you in the printing queue until you have approved the proof either, so that slows it down as well. And on the day they told me it would be done, I called them telling them I wanted to pick it up and they hadn't even started printing them! I was so upset because I had waited SO long and my invites were already going out late, but they did stay late that evening to finish while I waited to take them home (luckily I was close enough to them to pick them up on site). Other than the slow-factor, I was very impressed with them. I love the invitations, they are beautiful with heavy paper and clean lines. The unbeatable price and excellent product was well worth the stress their slowness caused. read more

I researched for hours on yelp trying to find a place that would do letterpress wedding invitations somewhat locally (from the easy bay). My husband designed the wedding invitation, submitted online to Mercurio Brother's, and we picked up the order 6 weeks later. The turnaround was on the longer side b/c I think it was the beginning of wedding season. I think in comparison to other letterpress places, Mercurio was reasonably priced. The quality was amazing, really easy to work with, and not terribly expensive. We were so pleased with the result, also got lots of compliments from guests. read more
