Mail worth keeping.

petalpost is a little stall for handmade mail, by post. You arrange a bouquet, write a note in your own words, and we print it on thick coated card and send it through the post — something real to hold, and pretty enough to keep on the wall.

Why this exists

Most messages live and die in a notification. A text says "thinking of you" and is gone by lunch. We wanted the opposite: a small, deliberate object that lands in someone's mailbox, gets propped up on a shelf, and is still there months later. The kind of thing people actually keep.

So: you design the card — no two alike — and we handle the printing and the postage. No printer, no stamps, no trip to the mailbox. You make something lovely and tell us where it's going.

How it's made

Every card is printed to order on heavyweight coated stock — your art on the front, your note on the back — and mailed first-class through USPS, anywhere in the US. STUB: confirm stock weight / finish and any international plans before publishing.

Who's behind it

Honestly? Mostly one developer having a good time. petalpost is a small indie project — a flower-drawing algorithm, a printer's API, and a lot of fussing over kerning, wired together because mailing someone a tiny piece of art felt like a nice thing to make exist. STUB: add the founder line / "made in <city>" / company name once decided.

It's not a giant store. It's a stall. That's kind of the point — small enough that we can actually fuss over getting your card right.

Questions, or something special in mind? Say hi — there's a real person on the other end, and they like getting mail too.
