the photo card ordering process:

 1. Pick the design you want, the options available (see under design) and add to cart.

2. Tell us any modifications and or personalizations in the forms that appear when you add the product to your cart.   

3. If the card is a photo card, follow the link on your confirmation email to email the photos to us. You can always just email the photos to photos@mangoink.com with your order number as the subject as well. 

4. Work with Heidi and Ryan’s amazing team. A warm, creative, personal designer to make the card exactly what you want. We'll only print after you say "Yes, that's it!"  

5. Send out something beautiful to your friends and or family and be so so happy!

6. And guess what, if you want something completely unique, unlike any other card, we promise we can do that for you. Choose a card you love and we will keep the essence of it, but make it totally different than anybody else. 

letterpress ordering details + process:

ORDERING: Choose the quantity, size, ink color and envelope color choice. Upon adding this item to your cart, a form will appear for you to complete. This form will be delivered to us with your order so we can customize your design for you. (If you select custom ink color, let us know as you check out and of course, we will chat with you about the perfect match).

INK COLORS: With letterpress, the inks are hand-mixed to the perfect color just for you. We use a Pantone recipe guide to get the colors just right. We will show you the Pantone chip to make sure it’s the “one” in the proofing process.

PROOFING: Once your order is received, we will send you an email proof within 1-3 business days. (Be sure and check your junk mail.) Unlimited proofs of the same design. We will even show you a pretty close mock up of what your stationery will look like with that amazing letterpress deep impression and your color choice.

our philosophy:

You are busy. Let us serve you. We will design your card while you get other things on your list checked off.

So, we don't ask you to place your photos and crop them or to type out your greetings. We don't ask you to make the card for us.

We got you, we see you, let us love you. 

Once you order we'll be in contact with you and you'll start working with us to make the perfect card. All Joy, no stress.

And we are super Fast.

We are here (and have been since 2005) to help you create something beautiful, something that matters and something unique to you, and to make the holidays (and sending out cards) fun again!

Correct. This is not automated. We are not automated. We’re creatives & artists... just like you are. 

You have enough on your plate. So we are that friend that says, don’t worry, we got this one. We’ll take care of it. Just let us listen, let us work, let us create. trust us.

We’re here to make things easy and personal and to make sure that we end up with something that we're both proud of. Something that is all you and easier than you thought it could be.  

We are your personal designer, as in person-al. As in less machines.

the options:

cardstock: 

Single ply “smooth” cardstock // 130 pound // This paper is a smooth (not matte) paper and prints beautifully. It also feels really nice in the hands. It’s photographers favorite! Paired with a crisp heavy, white, square flap envelope. 

Single ply “matte” cardstock // 130 pound // Uncoated and fabulous. We love the matte finish. Paired with a crisp heavy, white, square flap envelope.

Double Thick // 224 pound // Wonderful to touch with a gorgeous texture. It’s thick and so yummy. *No extra postage required when mailing. (unless you add an envelope liner!) Paired with a crisp heavy, white, square flap envelope.

Triple Thick // 48 pt. // Will not bend. Points are another way to measure the thickness of paper and are a little more precise. Trust us, this paper is unbelievable. Photo's print fabulous on it and it's incredibly heavy and thick and feels absolutely beautiful. *No extra postage required when mailing. (unless you add an envelope liner!) Paired with a crisp heavy, white, square flap envelope.

Vellum: This is a magical way to bring your card to another level. We love to get creative and have fun.
