Who says snail mail is dead? Personalized handwritten card company Punkpost<\/a> begs to differ.<\/p>\n

Co-owners and couple Alexis \u201cLex\u201d Monson and Santiago Prieto came up with the idea for Punkpost after Lex sent Santiago a handwritten letter of encouragement in the mail. Santiago was thrilled receiving the personalized card but soon learned how challenging it is to find the time, energy, and skill to handwrite and mail a letter.<\/p>\n

Realizing that there had to be others out there in a similar predicament, Santiago brainstormed with Lex to come up with a solution. Founded on the belief that there is a market for people who want to send personal handwritten cards but experience the same challenges Santiago faced, Punkpost launched in July 2015. Now, anyone who\u2019s ever struggled with sending a Thank You or Mother\u2019s Day card has an option that\u2019s much more personal than the usual pre-printed sentiments.<\/p>\n

Since Punkpost\u2019s start in San Francisco, they\u2019ve been featured nationally in Forbes, The Washington Post, Elle, and the ABC network. With attention like that, Punkpost proves that the art of the handwritten letter is alive and kicking!<\/p>\n

After this level of success, Santiago and Lex wondered how best to celebrate Punkpost\u2019s four years in business.\u00a0 As an organization that was founded on offering custom cards to customers, it seemed like there was one correct answer: collaborate with a company founded on offering custom apparel, and create a custom t-shirt for your team and customers to wear!<\/p>\n

Like Custom Ink, Punkpost provides people with a way to add a personal touch to events\u2014so naturally, when it came to their four year birthday they felt it only appropriate to create something unique that their team members, customers, and fans could wear to display their pride. It didn\u2019t hurt that their customers had been asking for shirts for a while! After coming up with a shirt design showcasing the Punkpost logo (created by Santiago) and taking pre-orders for it, it was time to make this t-shirt dream a reality.<\/p>\n

Following recommendations from team members, Punkpost came to Custom Ink with their design in hand. \u201cThe good experiences of ordering in the past were a huge factor in using Custom Ink\u2014as well as the customer service that is there through the whole process,\u201d says Lex. \u201cIt was so smooth, and we had our questions answered at the start of us looking into things, as well as great support in placing the order [and] making sure it was received as intended and met expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n
