Mercurio Brothers Printing started as a 2-man operation by my father Tony and my Uncle Jack back in 1946. My father had recently returned from serving in the military during World War II and was looking for ideas for starting a business. Back in those days, you could take printing classes in junior high and Berkeley High school, which Dad and Uncle Jack both did.
5 x 7 flat panel cards are the most popular size for wedding invitations. Options such as hot foil stamp printing, round-cornering, or edge-painting can be added to cards of any size. Simply enter any quantity you'd like (minimum of 20). Don't forget the envelopes!. Our prices are based on print-ready files.
These envelopes are letterpress printed just like the cards. The Strathmore envelopes are an excellent match to both the Strathmore and the Somerset cards. If you are getting Lettra cards, then obviously, order the Lettra envelopes. Note: Lettra A-7 "Plus" is only available with a V-flap, but matching A-7's and 4-Bars with V-flap are available.

I stumbled across Mercurio Brothers while trying to find a letterpress print shop to print my wedding invitations. I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Bob and his team were extremely communicative throughout the entire process, and it was so nice to work with a small business in a world where Minted and Shutterfly seem to be the go-to. Would recommend Mercurio Brothers to any brides-to-be or anyone looking for a high quality custom paper product at a fair price.

They printed our wedding invitations and they turned out so great! I was able to get nice invitations without going broke. If I ever need anything where I need letterpress again I will definitely order with them. I was also surprised how quickly their turnaround time was. The whole process was probably less than 2 weeks!

I used Mercurio Brothers for my letterpress wedding invitations and they were absolutely beautiful. I got so many compliments! Mercurio Brothers' pricing was extremely reasonable, even compared to the bigger sites that always have promo codes. The service was prompt and friendly, they were patient with me when I misunderstood part of the order process.
I ordered pretty close to my wedding date, and with expedited shipping I was able to get my invitations in plenty of time. I'd definitely recommend ordering the samples to get a feel for the different stocks. Overall great experience, could not have asked for more!

The best. Fast, reliable, super good quality every time. They really know what they're doing and can help with everything from paper choice to making sure your artwork is print-ready. In this era of online ordering and chatbots, it's so refreshing to call them on the phone, talk for literally 2 minutes to sort out some details, and get the job done.
They've been the only print shop I use for my small business for the last 6 years, for everything from letterpress business cards, digitally printed postcards, offset printed packaging, and lots more.

I spent a good amount of time riding my bike around the East Bay searching for a good shop to print my self published comic book. When I found Mercurio Brothers and stopped in to say hello I knew immediately who I wanted to go with. The crew seemed excited about my project and so I was glad to hand my pages over to them. Everyone was very helpful in getting the book to look exactly how I'd imagined it and I've received many compliments and interested queries about where I found a shop that prints at such a high level of quality. Looking forward to working with them again.

I used Mercurio Brothers to letterpress my wedding invitations and am absolutely thrilled with the results! Their prices were the best I could find online and they were extremely helpful in the printing process (I accidentally set up the file wrong and they corrected it for free). They did a beautiful job!
