Mercurio Brothers Printing

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!

Wanted to make sure I reviewed this print shop. Don’t get discouraged when you walk up to the building and in. It’s old, outdated and when you walk in it’s dusty, has a bunch of old equipment, smells like an old print shop and guess what??? That’s exactly how the owners want it. We’re talking high quality printing with vintage printing presses. I had some business envelopes and stationary done. I worked with Joe, who was very nice and easy to work with. I wasn’t in a hurry so my print job was not a high priority. But when it was done, it looked great, the quality was excellent and the price was very reasonable. I am so happy that I found a local print shop that does high quality print work.

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!

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!

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.

I accidentally came by their site on Unilocal.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

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 ;)

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.

Let me start by saying that I rarely bother to write reviews on Unilocal,but I could not be happier with Mercurio Brothers!
After looking at thousands of invitations on at least 20 different wedding invitation websites, and not finding anything that I loved, I decided to design my own. I wanted the invitations printed in letterpress, and I conducted extensive research (both online and in Los Angeles where I live) to find the best quality/​price. I can say without hesitation that Mercurio Brothers has the best pricing on letterpress of anyone, period.
I am not a graphic designer, and only dabble in Adobe Illustrator, most printing shops probably would have lost patience with me and my questions after about 5 minutes. Not Mercurio Brothers, Nicole was amazing to work with. She was incredibly helpful and very responsive. She changed the colors for me, not once, not twice, but three times. She also manually fixed a number of addresses that got messed up in Excel. Additionally, when most places quoted me a two to four week production time, Mercurio Brothers was 10 days, 5 days for a (what I thought was very reasonable) rush charge.
My invitations arrived exactly when they said they would, and they look amazing! I am so happy with the quality (and I am incredibly particular). If you are looking for letterpress (or digital printing), look no further, use Mercurio Brothers. I cannot recommend them enough!
Customer Service– 10 stars
Price– 10 stars
Quality– 10 stars

My invitations were ready to be picked up sooner than quoted! I wanted to order their letterpress invitations, but I settled for digital and I was very pleased with how they turned out. The quality of the invitations are excellent, and they totally surpassed my expectations.
My email interactions with Nicole were quick, to the point, and easy. When I dropped by a few weeks ago to pick up paper samples, the guy who helped me was super helpful. And when I picked up my invitations yesterday, the office was fun and friendly.
I wish I knew about this place sooner! I will be coming back.

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.

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?

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.

I designed our wedding invitations and sent it to Mercurio Brothers for letterpress printing. They did an AMAZING JOB and the invitations came out beautiful on the lovely soft cotton paper. Clean lines, nice impression. We were very happy.
Also, their customer service is excellent. I went back and forth during the pre-​printing stage with one of their staff, Nicole, who spoke to me on the phone when there was a problem with the design and colors. She was straight to the point and got the job done as well as fixed some color mixups on my original file.
I would definitely recommend these guys for your letterpress needs. They are affordable, friendly and have a good turnaround time (for me at the time it was 8 – 10 business days). Since they also have the best prices in town (I did my research), you can save a ton on letterpress but still have a great looking product.

Mercurio Brothers Printing is the best place to get really amazing printing done. The customer service is fantastic and they keep up to their time management, making sure things do arrive on time. Deadline is one of their great aspects and they make deadlines.
Personal Experience:
This shop was recommended to me by a co-​worker of mine and she said that «the turnaround time is great and if you want good letterpress, they are the ones to go to.» I was a bit hectic since I was unable to actually go to the shop to check it out, but the letterpressed personal business cards I’ve received were top-​quality. I would definitely recommend them to my friends that are graphic designers as well.
A+++!

I would give them 10 stars if Unilocal allowed.
As a graphic designer, designing her own wedding invitation, I would’ve been the customer nightmare if Mercurio Brothers Printing didn’t do their job done right.
But Nicole was super responsive, super knowledgeable and very helpful. It was so easy to work with her that I wish all other wedding vendors I am dealing with is more like her!
I was so confident enough on her knowing what’s she’s doing, I even skipped checking on the proof (to cut on time) which designers NEVER EVER do. But that’s how much I felt like I could trust her.
I received my wedding invitation a day before it was supposed to come and it looked FANTASTIC. The colors came out exactly I wanted and the letterpressing is so gorgeously done.
I highly highly recommend this place.

The folks here are terrific, and they do great work! I’ve worked with them a number of times, when my clients had their invitations letterpressed (i’m a designer). Their work is beautiful and affordable, and they offer lots of other services, too.
Everyone is helpful and good at asking important questions. Also, I went in yesterday, and the owner VERY patiently helped me with a new project. Really appreciated that.
Thanks, guys!

As an artist and creative professional, I must have researched about 50 or so printers/​designers of wedding invitations. All signs pointed toward Mercurio and I’m so glad they did.
Why so great:
— Their pricing was excellent compared to most competitors.
— They have a good website for you to estimate pricing, upload your files, see their portfolio, etc. — always great & assuring.
— Through them I learned of
and
— great invite design resources.
— Excellent letter press and digital printing.
— Professional packaging.
— Printed invites and card printed perfectly to spec.
— Excellent customer service.
— Faster than expected turnaround.
Since Mercurio happened to be local, I went to their shop and the staff gave me loads of printed examples for reference and were very knowledgeable (a must because I have a printmaking and media background). As we ended up with a Printable Press invite design, they were able to show us an exact printed example of the design used prior recently and a digital proof. That was more than sufficient for me, but they even offered to give me a free printed proof if I needed it because they were concerned slightly with the paper selection we made. I chose a paper that was not as smooth for digital printing, but if gave us that slight hand press feel that we love with minimal variation per invite. I explained this to them and they understood what I was going for.
I would definitely use Mercurio again. My only wish is that they would be open Saturday mornings for easier pick up/​visiting.

Great experience letterpressing my wedding invitations with Mercurio Brothers. I live in town, so I was able to stop by several times throughout the process to see samples, colors, etc. They were always very gracious with their time and patient with my ignorance of the printing process.
The turn around time was surprisingly fast. My invitations were done weeks before I anticipated, and they even got them off the press and cut for me a day ahead of schedule, despite only having 1 press working at the time.
I got custom letterpressed invitations, had a wonderful customer service experience, and paid much less than I would have for digitally printed, cookie-​cutter invites. Plus, my money went to support a local, family-​own business. Total win.

We had an idea of how we wanted our wedding invitations to look like, but we didn’t have the skills to design it ourselves. Joe was super easy to work with, responded to our emails quickly, and the printing speed was pretty fast. Everyone has complimented our invitations!
The price tag was a little heftier than what we had calculated (doh, tax is 9.75%. our fault.). It ended up being about more than 7 bucks per invitation for a custom-​made 2-​colored letterpress invitation on 500 card stock with RSVP cards in 300 card stock. That’s definitely cheaper than even cookie-​cutter invitations from Paper Source or elsewhere. It was worth splurging!
We also had to go through a three different rounds of minor edits, which was not so great, but it did not delay the work and we weren’t charged extra for that. Indeed, the whole process took about 3 weeks, from idea to having them actually in our hands.
