Lucky Onion

If you’re looking for a Colorado-​based stationer who incorporates a bit of eco-​friendly philosophy in their printing operations, check out Lucky Onion!
CJ Kard in Colorado Springs is a retailer of L.O. products, and we were fortunate to have recently ordered some Save The Date cards through them. We were brain-​fried after going through page after page of designs by some large corporate stationers/​printers. After some discussion, CJ Kard realized we might be interested in an in-​state printer who dabbled in being «green» — and L.O. was introduced. We were super excited to discover that L.O. offers a variety of paper stock with at least 30% PCW up to 100%, and their website details other Earth-​good practices.
We loved how all the stationery was customizable, but the cheapest way to go is to stick with existing designs and layouts. The first proof is free.
Within three days after putting in our order and including the photo we wanted them to use, L.O. sent an electronic proof. We made a minor adjustment, and 7 days later, our cards arrived! They turned out better than I expected — they even look better than the proof! The colors are wonderful, the designs are crisp, and I love the feel of the paper. L.O. included envelopes for the number of cards we ordered and threw in a couple extra cards as keepsakes. After all was said and done with CJ Kard taking their share of the profits and Uncle Sam taking his, our SaveTheDates ended up being $ 1.48/card.
We’re so pleased that we’re going to try to do our invitations with L.O., too. So if you want to send unique Christmas postcards, party invitations, announcements, wedding stationery made by a Colorado company, I highly recommend you find a retailer that works with Lucky Onion!
