Minted Letterpress vs. Mint Letterpress: A Comprehensive Comparison

Introduction

Hey there, I'm Austin, the founder of Mint Letterpress. If you're here, you're probably looking for the perfect letterpress service for your special project. Now, you might be wondering, "Mint Letterpress? Minted? Are you guys related?" Nope! The only thing we share is a love for minty freshness. Our name is actually inspired by our parent company, Print Peppermint. So don't get it twisted—or should I say, don't get it "minted"?

The Limitations of Using Minted for Letterpress Printing

Alright, let's get down to business. Minted is a big name in the game, but bigger isn't always better. Here's why:

1. Design Constraints

   With Minted, you're stuck with their design templates. Sure, they're nice, but what if you want to bring your own artwork to life?

2. Limited Ink Choices

   Minted offers a limited palette of ink colors. Say goodbye to your dream of metallics and neons/pastels.

3. Size and Shape Limitations

   Custom sizes? Custom shapes? Not in Minted's world. You have to stick to their standard sizes and formats.

4. Paper Choices

   Get ready for a whopping 2 or 3 paper options. Yep, that's it.

5. Pricing

   Let's face it, letterpress isn't cheap. But Minted's per-unit pricing is through the roof.

6. Customer Experience

   At Minted, you're just a drop in a massive bucket. Good luck getting personalized service.

7. Limited Print Processes

   Want to mix and match print processes like die cutting, foil stamping, and blind embossing? Minted says, "Choose one, please."
