Hi
Does anyone have any details of wholesalers who sell greetings cards - particularly interested in range suitable for babies. Thanks.

I used to get mine from printing suppliers. Markup is huge.

What type of cards did you get and did you do your own designs? Do you mind me aksing how much you paid for them? When you say the mark up is huge, did you sell them on then?

I don't remember where as it was about 7 years ago. I bought them for about 22p (RRP £1.49) and ran them through a laser printer (sepcial one with thick run through path) then flattened them on a heat press and sold them fully customised inside and out for £5.
Cost about 35p all in plus hardware costs and took about 5 minutes.

I didn't know babies could buy greetings cards? Who for, their parents?
Do you mean cards aimed at 0 - 3 years olds, for example? If you have a shop to sell from, you could try a few people (email me for suggestions), but if you sell onlne you are actually more limited.

Hi Richard
Babies are very clever these days!! Actually, I'm selling gifts for babies and I'm looking for a card I could put with gift. So, I won't be selling the cards. Hope this makes sense!

Hi Bunny,
I tried sending you an email but it is coming back to me undelivered. Any ideas? Have sent a few emails this evening, but yours was the only one that bounced.

Have you considered selling greeting cards online. Cardcorp sells online using the Print Evolved system. I've reviewed the system on my Print Management News site.
