Working with Kat and Kimi was truly a dream from start to finish. They were incredibly accommodating, patient, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. I came to them with several ideas and questions, and they took the time to walk me through every option, design detail, and customization so that we could create something that truly reflected us. Their guidance was so helpful, and I always felt heard and supported. The final product was absolutely perfect - even better than what I had envisioned. You can really tell how much care and pride they put into their work. I'm so grateful to have collaborated with them and would recommend them to anyone looking for beautiful, personalized wedding stationery. Thank you both so much! Your work helped make our day feel even more special. read more

Highly recommended for personal printing jobs, especially if you are preparing for a wedding, with Save the Date cards, wedding invitations, etc. Friendly, responsive and reasonably priced. A great find. read more

Paper Mint Press is a beautifully designed store for wedding and other high quality stationery needs. Kat is super creative and was responsive to our queries. She helped us print and design last minute table signs and cards, and her price is very fair. Her wedding invite samples are very well designed and polished, with letter press, gold lettering elements, and amazing paper quality. It's hard for me to look at paper and printing the same way after visiting her store! I took a calligraphy class here and bought calligraphy supplies, fountain pens before, and greeting cards, and everything was super high quality. Thank you, Kat! read more

Kathleen, the owner of Paper Mint Press, did an amazing job on my wedding invitation suite. She was extremely communicative during the entire process, and the pick up process was convenient and very easy. Paper Mint Press has a beautiful storefront in the Old Town Tustin area, conveniently located down the street from the post office. It was great to see samples of other wedding invitations in person, alongside with wedding signs to get an idea of the broad scope of work that Paper Mint Press can offer for your wedding for invitations, calligraphy, and wedding signs. I highly recommend Paper Mint Press for wedding invitations, especially if you are looking for the final product to be high quality with different paper options to choose from. read more

It was a pleasure working with Kat. The final product was just what we wanted for our special day. Will definitely be coming back to her for future projects read more

Kat is AMAZING!!!! My wedding planner reached out to her with only 1 month left into my wedding; we were in need of some additional signage and stationary designed and printed for our September wedding. Of course we were feeling pressed for time and slightly panicked but Kat was very quick; provided us with a mock design and a quote in a very timely manner. I had a vision for what I wanted our design to look like, I gave her my inspiration/ideas and she made my vision come to life! We received SO MANY compliments about our signage and stationery that was used on the day of our wedding. The details of the signs and stationary truly added to all the details of our wedding. read more

Paper Mint Press is amazing! We worked with Kat to create cards for my groomsmen as well print our wedding place cards. She absolutely delivered on both counts, and is someone who gets things right the first time. The quality of her work it outstanding, and I would absolutely recommend her for any occasion. read more

We hired Paper Mint Press for our wedding invitations and it was one of the best wedding decisions we made. From Day 1, Kat was incredible to work with - professional & communicative, and very helpful in walking us through all of our options based on our style preference/budget/etc. Our invitations turned out so beautifully we ended up hiring Kat to do the rest of our day of paper good (Ceremony Programs, Menu, Escort Cards, Seating Chart, etc.). We received so many compliments from guests on how beautiful everything looked. Could not recommend Kat & Paper Mint Press enough! read more

Paper Mint Press is the perfect place for all your paper and signage needs for your event!!! Kat helped us with my daughter's wedding. She is so professional and creative, with unique and high-quality products. We were so impressed and highly recommend Paper Mint Press! read more

Kat helped us with our wedding invitations, seating chart and place cards. They were are beautiful and very tasteful. The quality was amazing and Kat was able to meet my short timeline. Kat is very patient and has an eye for great design. My whole experience was absolutely the best read more

I was a fan of Kat and Emil's work long before I was engaged, so when I did get engaged, I already knew who to go to for our wedding invitations. Planning a wedding can be stressful for couples, but with Kat and Emil's easygoing personalities and professionalism, they made this part easy. We had calls to talk about what we had in mind, but pretty much let Kat use her creativity to design it. We were having a travel-themed wedding and wanted to have a boarding pass style invitation suite. Kat absolutely NAILED IT with the design! She even hand-drew a map of the Bay Area with recognizable landmarks and also our venue and hotel. Kat even included a scannable QR code on the boarding pass where our guests can use their phone to access our wedding website...how cool is that?! The invitation suite itself is a unique art piece, so I had it framed and is hanging on our wall! I cannot express how happy I was to work with Kat and Emil, and to have them be a part of such an integral part of our special day. The unique invitations came out so beautiful and we received so many compliments from our guests! I hope to do more business with Paper Mint Press for our future life events! read more

The Paper Mint Press helped me print, gold foil, and address invitations for my wedding on January 6, 2018. Full disclosure: I know Kat and Emil from college, but I've loved their work! Though I designed my own invitations, I knew they could print reliably and would be great to work with! I reached out to Kat and sent over my files. I wanted to get gold foil done on all the script-y parts of my invite. Kat was super patient and explained the whole process of how to do gold-foiling and why the costs were why the cost of too much gold foiling could add up. She went the extra step and helped suggest ways I could stay within my budget--and so rather than gold-foiling all three parts of the invite, I only foiled the main one. My invites arrived perfectly packaged and ready for me to send off! They also helped with printing the addresses on the envelopes and made our address line look so fly on the back flap! Things you don't need to know but should know anyway: Emil is a style icon; their lovely dog knows how to patty-cake; and he (Emil, not the dog) also introduced me to Chicken Maison in Santa Ana, which if you haven't yet tried, you should. Much love to Paper Mint Press!! read more

Kat is fantastic. I really don't have a creative eye for these types of things, so I put all my trust in her. She did not disappoint! I actually did not even meet her once, as I live out of the area and all of our communication was via phone/email, and my invitations were mailed to me. At first I was kind of nervous not being able to see samples of the specific suite I wanted in person, but her professionalism, organization, and eagerness to work with me really put me at ease. I came to her in a frenzy after being referred to her by my sister-in-law. I was stressing out about because I didn't realize how much there was to the invitation process, and I was in a time crunch. I kept looking for options on sites like Minted and Shutterfly but I wasn't convinced with anything I saw. I fell in love with one of the invitation suites from Paper Mint Press and we went from there. From my initial conversation with Kat to the time we received our invitations in the mail was just under a month - her responsiveness and superior service made the process so seamless and easy. She was so quick to send over proofs, was patient with any edits we requested, and offered genuine and helpful suggestions about postage, wording, design, etc. Upon receiving our invitations in the mail, we were so happy with how they turned out. They were absolutely stunning, great quality, and just like the proofs she sent. On top of that, everything was securely packaged and she left us a thoughtful handwritten thank you note. In the midst of a hectic wedding planning process, Kat truly made the task of wedding invitations so stress-free and I can't thank her enough for that. read more

Honestly, I can't say enough good things about working with Kat for our invitations. She seriously hit it out of the park with her responsiveness, ideas, and accommodating every request we had so quickly and efficiently. Her turn around time is incredible and the quality is beyond what I could have hoped for. We got so many compliments on our invites and still are receiving compliments as people continue to RSVP. Thanks so much Kat for making the invite process so easy and for creating the most elegant invites ever. read more

Kat is the lovely lady behind The Paper Mint Press and she is absolutely amazing and a total sweetheart! Her letterpress and calligraphy work is out of this world good!! I have gotten the pleasure of working with her twice now and she is so amazing at what she does! Her eye for detail and design is impeccable. She truly excels at what she creates and really goes above and beyond for her clients. You can tell she cares about every single detail that she touches and I cannot wait to work with her again!! read more

I am an American who is getting married abroad and I needed to find a printer in OC who could do my small run of invites while I was home visiting. I found Kat through Google & Yelp and I'm so glad I did! A lot of shops referred me to smaller shops and none had the short production time I needed until I contacted Kat. She was quick, efficient, friendly and best of all, my invites turned out BEAUTIFUL. Kat was super accommodating, her turnaround time was shorter than I had anticipated and when I picked them up, they were packaged well. I am beyond thrilled with the quality and cannot recommend The Paper Mint Press enough. read more

Paper Mint Press - Close-up of my invitation - Printing Services Near Me - Tustin, California

Paper Mint Press is THE BEST! What a pleasure experience to work with! We designed our invitations down to every last detail with the exact colors and style we wanted, and it was BEAUTIFUL. Modern and clean! Thanks Kat! Quality of Service (CHECK), Responsiveness (CHECK), Professionalism (CHECK), Value (CHECK), and Flexibility (Absolutely CHECK). We were referred from Love Anne Joy and Kat from Paper Mint Press is amazing! From Day 1 she thoroughly went through the process and she is proactive and the communication with her was wonderful! 1. They made our Save The Dates, and we were absolutely pleased! Simple, yet modern and chic! Beautiful, creative, and high quality. 2. The Wedding Invitations -Beautiful, creative, and STUNNING. We were so excited, and it was exactly what we wanted, and probably more than we expected (which is absolutely amazing). Wax Seals? YES! Kat has them and it can be customized. We are obsessed. 3. Day of Accessories - what a DREAM! From the Signage (including "precautionary measures for COVID"), table numbers, menu, and the programs! We were over and beyond and it was totally worth it. Overall - Even during a pandemic, Kat was so patient and understanding with us. We genuinely enjoyed Paper Mint Press because she is THE BEST as it was a smooth planning process. Its challenging times for sure, but we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Paper Mint Press as she will work with you and "flexible" is the key word to an amazing and excellent vendor to make your dreams come true! We would totally hire them again for ANY special occasion event! Thank you, Kat for being a part of our DREAM wedding. We are so humbled to have you part of the whole wedding journey (its like the "whole shabang" recipe)! Thank you so much for attending the day! We are so glad that we did not reschedule or cancel our wedding date and keeping the positive motivation! With love and mahalo - Michelle + Christian (10/10/2020) read more

Aside from the incredible invitations, of course, what I admire about Kat is her genuine love for what she does. I've seen her earlier letterpress work from 2011, which still amazes me, and it's been so neat "following" her and watching her evolve as a designer. Kat and Emil make a great team and I'm excited for this business! I met with Kat around February 2017 to talk invites for my August wedding and shared general information with her at first (venues, colors, likes, dislikes, etc.). In April I was able to give her our final colors and inspiration, and then a week later she had a proof for us! I was super, super happy with what she put together. The design was clean, crisp, and elegant! We made some minor changes to our text, but the overall design was golden from the beginning. Two weeks later, we picked up the finished invitations and they were amazing!!! We were able to send our invitations out a little more than 2 months before wedding day and we got so many compliments on them! Kat also designed and digitally printed our ceremony programs, reception programs, menus, and name cards, and everything was just on point. Kat and Emil are so sweet, easygoing, and are just always a pleasure to work with and be around. Kudos all around! I'm a PMP fan for life! Thank you, PMP! read more

Are you looking for beautiful print work? From business cards to wedding invitations to custom greeting cards, there is little this amazing team can't do. Their designs are so clean and one of a kind. We came to the Paper Mint Press for some custom design work for our small business and also to have some letterpressed business cards made. This was not our first time working with Kat and the Paper Mint Press team as she had created beautiful cards for us in the past, so we knew we were in good hands. When you contact Kat, her attention to detail, willingness and flexibility to cater to your needs, and professionalism will blow you away. Not only that, but her turnover is incredible. From the time we contacted Kat to the time our business cards were in our hands, we only waited 3 weeks time. That's incredible - especially when you see the quality and perfection of the product you get. We are so fortunate to have Kat and her team to handle our print work! Every time we hand out a card it makes an impression. It starts a conversation and reflects the type of business we want to be! Thanks Kat and the Paper Mint Press! read more

Paper Mint Press - Our incredibly beautiful cards & logo designed by Kat - Printing Services Near Me - Tustin, California

My boyfriend has a thing for letterpress. He has letterpress business cards and has looked into taking a letterpress class in his spare time. While brainstorming ideas for an anniversary gift, I came up with a brilliant idea - a CUSTOM letterpress card, made just for him. After doing some research on how letterpress works, it became clear that a project like this wouldn't be an easy undertaking. Much of the cost of letterpress printing goes into making the plate (used to press the design onto the paper) and setting up the machine. I emailed and called several letterpress shops to get quotes for a single custom card, and quotes started at $250 - for A SINGLE GREETING CARD. The price didn't change much for larger quantities, but I didn't need 50 or 100 cards for this occasion. As much as I wanted it, I put the idea aside for a while in case some miracle could make it happen. Well... Paper Mint Press was that miracle. :) Kat offered to design and set up the plate for a fraction of the cost that was quoted from other shops, and I couldn't be happier!!! Throughout the entire process, she was prompt, responsive, and very friendly. She emailed me a proof that very same day and I had the finished product in my hands in less than two weeks. I was so excited to surprise my boyfriend that I gave it to him the night I received the card - and of course, he loved it. I'm so grateful that Paper Mint Press made my idea into a reality. I can't thank you enough Kat!! read more

In this day and age where most people print their own invitations or choose from a mass market design, it's refreshing to see real art and talent go into designing a personalized invitation. When we first met with Kat to discuss ideas, my husband (!) and I talked about how we love music, as well as how we got engaged at the Coachella Valley Music Festival underneath a prominent piece of art that was on display. From there, Kat took off with the design and integrated the iconic Coachella landscape, the art piece, and our love of music. After corresponding back and forth to finalize the wording (I wanted to have a concert poster-type feel), we received a letterpressed wedding invitation that our guests loved. LOVED. Some guests did not want to return their RSVP because they wanted to keep the entire invitation suite. In the end, the invitation represented us so well in a beautiful, fun, artistic way. Here's what made the invitation even more awesome: the design enabled us to incorporate the Coachella theme into our wedding reception. Without Kat's design, our reception as a whole would not have been as amazing as it turned out. If you're looking for a creative invitation that will set yours apart from the mundane, contact Kat at The Paper Mint Press. read more

Kat and team went out of their way to make our invites absolutely gorgeous. Their attention to detail was obvious and extremely appreciated (as I had designed my own invites), from helping me pick through different shades of white paper to ink color and actual graphic design touch-ups. Turnaround time was fast and my fiancee was absolutely thrilled as well. Could not recommend enough - I even placed a business card order with them as the letterpress looks incredible no matter the purpose. read more

Emil and Kat are one of the sweetest couple in the world! They are talented in print services -from the quality of paper to creativity of the design to handcrafted needs. They can do it it all! I used their services for my good friend's wedding. I told them that I was on a budget and they were able to work within it. Overall, very satisfied with the wedding invitations. Definitely referring any print services to Paper Mint Press. read more

Kat is a dream-maker!!! I went through 5 different companies before I literally called her in the parking lot after a meeting with a woman who told me what I wanted wasn't possible and tried to talk me into things I didn't like. Kat made it happen! She gave me exactly what I wanted, was organized, had major attention to detail, great communication, she was organized and everything was done in a timely manner. She was also the most affordable and gave me so many options. BUT the best part! she was the sweetest and most delightful person to work with. When I first saw my invitations I literally could have cried- They were so stunning! Rose Gold Pressed and clean lines. Ahhhh! She has everything perfectly organized too. Thank you, Kat for the best invitations I have always dreamed of! They are Jaw Dropping! I can't wait to order thank you cards! read more

This review is LONG overdue. Kat helped me in January in a time crunch to get my wedding invitations printed. I had designed them in PowerPoint (ha!) in an effort to save money and was looking for a partner to print them professionally for me and help me with my envelopes. Kat was a golden and my guiding star throughout this entire process. She is very professional and extremely responsive. She patiently answered all of my questions which I am sure were quite absurd at times. I truly felt like I gained a teammate in this process. She was so willing to help and provided me guidance and advice that made the process so seamless. I HIGHLY recommend using her if you are looking for a professional teammate in the wedding paper process who is real with you and will give you the advice you need to ensure you are happy with your end product. Thank you Kat! read more

Our wedding calligrapher, Kristina, introduced us to Kat over email a few weeks ago, to begin the process of printing our wedding invitations. From the very first email exchange, Kat was extremely professional, sweet, and helpful! She even mailed us color samples the very next day to choose from, because she knew how we were on a tight deadline to have our invitations mailed out! She also followed up to make sure we received them ok, and she confirmed we were pleased with how the colors looked in person. I have to say I am very satisfied with the entire process of working with Kat, and with the quality of how our invitations turned out! I would highly recommend Kat and Paper Mint Press to anyone who is planning any event (wedding, shower, birthday, etc) and needs invitations made quickly and of high quality. 5/5 stars for sure!!! :) read more

Kat did the awesome job for our destination wedding invitation plus a luggage tag! It looks absolutely wonderful, one of a kind! The paper quality is great as well! Kat is very sweet and nice, definitely knows how to make beautiful designs. She listens to what we want and make it perfect! read more

Kat is an amazing designer that has her own awesome style, but is definitely attentive to the tastes and desires of her brides and grooms! Coming from a management role at an ad agency, I knew what type of invitations I wanted but didn't have the creativity or artistic ability to bring them to life. Kat did a great job coming up with a few options and then modifying them based on my feedback. The fonts she picked were spot on what I was looking for and the layout was unique and elegantly displayed. EVERYONE that I sent an invitation to commented on how beautiful they were. They really set the mood for our fun, detail-oriented wedding... its so gorgeous that we have one framed in a shadow box on our wall now! I definite recommend Kat and her team at The Papermint Press! read more

Kat is amazing! She is so easy to work with, full of creative ideas and made the entire process fun! She used high quality materials and makes sure everything was exactly as we wanted it. We used a custom photo on the front of our invitation and they turned out perfect! Kat is really professional, super easy to work with and produces top quality work. I'd recommend her to everyone for wedding stationary, business cards or anything else. She's awesome! read more

Just as the other reviews have raved, Kat and Emil were AWESOME to work with. I was looking to get a few business cards printed, and I LOVE the letterpress look. I shopped around a little bit and spoke to a few printers. But there was just something about Kat and her sweet disposition that made her stand out, so I decided to go with her. I couldn't be happier that I did. From the beginning, Kat was responsive, and super professional to work with. She's also honest with what's doable and what's not. She gave me several options for my designs, and was super quick to turn around mock-ups. Pricing was all up front, and options, (single/double/edge printing) were all laid out clearly. It was straight forward, she was up front and honest, and also super detail oriented. She's really got a great eye for design, and truly knows what she's doing. I had an awesome experience working with Kat and Emil, and I couldn't be happier with my cards. Can't recommend them highly enough! read more

As a wedding planner, we had the opportunity to work with Kat on a workshop with a local photographer and just clicked right away. She is the sweetest person, and oh so talented! We moved forward with her on some custom cards that we wanted to give to our clients as gifts. She exceeded our expectations on the design and the quality was fantastic! She even boxed up each set for us without us asking her to! In addition, she made custom gift tags for us as well. Again, the quality is exceptional! We are so excited for this first collaboration and know there will be many more. read more

Kat was amazing. Gave us tons of options and made us feel very happy with our invites/ceremony page/thank you notes. Very talented and super nice. She was able to work with our budget and even gave us a tour of her studio. If you are looking for a letter press company, you MUST go with paper mint press. we had a small little logoish looking picture that we wanted to use and she was able to incorporate the image in with all of our stuff. She is very good at responding and made the whole process very easy. Thanks!! read more

Kat is wonderful to work with. She is very open to ideas and is willing to design what the client wants and yet is very good at giving feedback on what will make the process even better. She met all deadlines keeping in communication as needed. She was also very helpful by making a recommendation on a calligrapher to address my daughters wedding invitation- she set up everything with the calligrapher and had everything back to me to make our timing. Also, the best thing was Kat assembled the entire invitation , from lining envelopes to putting all inserts, reply cards and envelopes into the envelope that was beautifully . i would recommend her to anyone- not cheap, but very reasonable for the quality job!!!!!! read more

We are so grateful to Kat and Emil for the beautiful letterpress invitations they made for our wedding. From the first email to the last, Kat has been nothing but responsive and accommodating. She has a great artistic eye and guided us in the right direction, but always respectful of our wishes. The invites came out beautiful thanks to the flawless letterpress imprinted on deliciously thick paper, and the gorgeous design and color just tie everything together. I'm so glad we found The Paper Mint Press and proud to support an up and coming local business! They actually delivered our invites in person! Can't get better than that. Thanks so much Kat. We'll definitely use The Paper Mint Press to mark future milestones in our lives! read more

oh what a find!! Kat is so talented and professional. Love her work!

I cannot say enough about Kat and The Paper Mint Press! My fiance and I were in a time crunch and Kat totally came through for us in getting our wedding invitations printed so quickly! She is super responsive both to email and phone calls which was such a relief when you're in a hurry! I love our wedding invitations... they turned out so great! Everything was very reasonably priced as well. We'll definitely be using The Paper Mint Press again very soon... probably for our wedding ceremony programs!! read more

Our experience working with Kat has been wonderful. I found Paper Mint Press on one of the many wedding blogs I was frequenting and went on the website to check things out. My dream was to have letterpressed invitations, but I figured it was out of reach given our budget. I was so happy after visiting their website because not only are they very straightforward and clear about pricing, but the prices were also very reasonable and they have a bunch of options! I always felt weird about having to email people to ask what they charge, so I was very appreciative that the website had it all laid out. I emailed Kat, and she responded very quickly. We met a few days after that initial email. Our meeting was great! She provided lots of samples to look at and asked great questions about our vision. This is where I came to appreciate Kat the most - I knew what I wanted but lacked the vocabulary and creativity to describe it. I knew the feeling I wanted the invitations to evoke but not how to achieve that. Kat is so patient, easy going and full of beautiful ideas. We discussed both our Save the Dates and our invitations during that first meeting. She got back to us quickly with a proposal, so we knew going in what to expect. When you're planning a wedding on a budget, it is really nice to know where you are financially every step of the way! She kept us within our budget while still delivering an amazing product. Our Save the Dates were digitally printed, which is a great option to offer! We are having a destination wedding, so we wanted the Save the Dates to convey that without being cliche or cheesy. She came up with a beautiful design, and we received lots of compliments on them! Our wedding invitations were letterpressed. They are stunning! They are exactly what we wanted. We went back and forth a few times on the design, and I am so grateful that, despite the fact that I probably wasn't being very clear in what I wanted, Kat understood me and delivered! We did the invitation and RSVP card, along with envelope liners. All of it was beautiful. I initially decided to try and address the envelopes myself, but after realizing how long it was going to take me and not really liking the results I was getting, I called Kat in a panic and asked if it was too late to have her print them for me (since the envelopes were already lined). And could she rush it please because I'd already lost a bunch of time trying to do it myself (oops!). She totally saved me! The printed envelopes were definitely the way to go. They turned out great. Our entire experience with Paper Mint Press has been fantastic and felt really personal the whole time. Thank you, Kat!! read more

Kat was so wonderful to work with! We came across her when desperately searching for alternatives to standard-made wedding invitations available online and in stores. I liked certain elements of different things we had seen, but nothing was exactly as I had envisioned for my wedding invitations. To add to the stress, I was planning my wedding from Chicago and only had a few days left in California before heading back. She immediately responded to my inquiry and was able to schedule a last-minute meeting before I left for Chicago. She listened to my vision, and then turned it into life! She was so easy to work with, open to my input, and shared her work with me each step of the process. The end result was absolutely stunning. Thank you Kat for helping make my wedding such a dream! read more

Kat was an absolute delight to work with. Originally, I didn't think letterpress could be in our budget. I had been in correspondence with a thermography printer for over a month, but with after countless emails back and forth it seemed we just didn't get each other, and I felt like I was making concession after concession. I was starting to get more and more exasperated and worried as our date was fast approaching. In steps the Paper Mint Press. Kat instantly responded to my first tentative email, and we hit the ground running. With email response times usually within an hour, almost always within a day, in less than a week we had all the details figured out, a quote drawn up, the deposit paid any everything moving forward. I knew exactly what I wanted and Kat was amazingly sweet and understanding ever single step of the way. She was patient with my picky color questions and took the time to explain each detail I had a question about. I was super confident I would be able to get the exact invitations I was dreaming of. Fast forward about a month and a big box arrives at my doorstep. Inside are the invitations, carefully packaged and more gorgeous and luxurious than I could have imagined: crisp lettering and creamy paper: and the exact colors I had hoped for. From a design, product, and correspondence perspective the entire process was smooth, streamlined, efficient, and enjoyable. AND I have the most perfect invitations ever as a result ;) I would more than recommend Kat and the Paper Mint Press! read more

Couldn't be happier with the quality of product and service at Paper Mint Press. Kat worked with me on my design, tight timeline and budget for my gold foil wedding invitations and they look absolutely stunning. Will definitely use them for all of my printing needs in the future!!! Thank you! read more
