About Minted

Minted is an online marketplace that connects independent artists with customers looking for unique and high-quality designs. The platform offers a variety of products, including holiday cards, personalized stationery, art prints, gift wrap, and home decor items. Minted operates using a crowdsourcing model where artists submit their designs to a Design Challenge, and customers, along with other artists, vote on their favorites. The winning designs are produced and sold by Minted, allowing for a constantly updated selection of customer-approved products while supporting independent artists. Minted also has a membership program, Minted More, which provides discounts and exclusive access to products. Additionally, the company enhances the customer experience with services like free recipient addressing and high-quality printing options, setting it apart from other online retailers.
