How do I start showing and selling De Milo products to my customers? Purchase a wedding invitation portfolio. The cost is $300 for the Classic De Milo Collection. $400 for Sustain & Heal. Call 626 403 0317 to order.
What's your minimum order? Minimum order for stock items such as thank you cards is $50. There is no minimum quantity for wedding invitations, however the price per unit goes up for smaller orders. Increments are not necessary.
What do you mean by "increments not necessary?" Most invitation providers have minimums and/or increments of 25 or 50 and you're locked into those numbers. If you use our online calculator and ordering system, you can order whatever odd number of each piece you like. For example, if you want 62 invitations and 87 envelopes, go ahead and enter those quantities in the price calculator. It will calculate the MSRP for you as well as give you your wholesale price.
What's your turnaround? This depends on what press date you choose. The quickest is two weeks.
What's a press date? For eight years we've been successfully using a "reserve a press date" system that is extremely helpful with workflow and helps you know exactly what to expect. Step two of our 4-step online ordering system allows you to view De Milo's production calendar and choose what date your job will be printed. It also tells you when the final proof must be submitted to meet that deadline so you can plan ahead.

How do I order if I prefer not to use a computer? It speeds up the proofing process if we can receive the data in digital form. Email the quantity and content for each piece of your order (don't forget to include the return address for outer and rsvp envelopes) to orders@demilodesign.com. We will select a press date for you. If you cannot get the order to us in digital form, fax it to 866 744 6894. There will be a minimum $30 data entry fee. Complicated content (such as location directions) will incur a higher data entry fee.
How do you do proofing? Proofs usually come as an emailed pdf. Click here to view a sample pdf proof. If you prefer a faxed or mailed proof indicate that in your order.
Can the packages be customized? Any piece that has personal information (such as names, address, etc..) can be altered. Some designs have preprinted colors in the background that can be changed for a special press run charge. Almost anything is possible if it suits your customer’s budget.
Do you accept rush orders? Yes, as our press schedule permits. Call to discuss orders with a shorter than two week turnaround time or if the production calendar is full.
Do you do custom letterpress printing? Yes. If you have your login and password Click here to try out the online custom price calculator.
What forms of payment do you accept? Credit card is the preferred method of payment. De Milo accepts Visa, Mastercard, Discover and Amex. A mailed check is also fine. A deposit of $500 or 50% of the MSRP (whichever is the lower amount) is due before we print each order. The balance is charged to your credit card when the order ships. Payment of the balance by check is net 30.
