Minted.com - Designer Stationery for You

The newly launched Minted brings you custom designed stationery from the top independent stationery brands in the world. The site is directed at both designers and consumers and it works both as a marketplace as well as a community network.

Currently, Minted serves as the exclusive online retailer for 18 independent designers, and is courting more designers through its DesignByHumans or Threadless like user submission model. Designers can post their own designs to the site, where they will be voted on, with the top voted gaining access to Minted’s inventory. The best designers are also commissioned to create more work for the company. Customers will find a wide array of paper products such as wedding invitations, letterpress invitations, and thank you cards. As an added extra, Minted offers customized cards along with hand lettering and calligraphy. Minted ships worldwide via Fedex.

“We believe that great design lives and thrives in the hands of independent brands and designers that consumers may not hear about or have access to through traditional retailers. For our launch, we've handpicked a selection of the best independent stationery brands, known for their artistry, exquisite printing, and superb papers.
At Minted, we love the idea that our stationery will find its way into your most personal celebrations, and we don't take that honor lightly. That's why we only carry brands that use fine paper stock, rich inks, and crisp printing methods. We guess you could say that quality is an obsession for us. We stand behind our products with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.”

Minted has a crew of experienced internet entrepreneurs behind it; it’s also a lucrative market. The site is well executed with a strong business model; its crowd filtering/voting technique ensures the quality and popularity of all designs while fostering a spirit of competition amongst designers. Consumers will get what they want.
