With social media, texts, instant messaging, email and more at our fingertips, you would be forgiven for thinking the art of card and letter writing has gone the way of the dinosaurs. However, it seems there are still many of us out there putting pen to paper, with Royal Mail estimating that it delivers 150 million cards during the Christmas period alone. So, why not help your customers say what they want to say in a special way, with our range of wholesale greeting cards from suppliers across the US, UK & Europe on CREOATE.
We. Love. Cards. We believe they have the power to make people feel good – whether that’s by sending some birthday wishes, welcoming a new baby to the world or by giving someone a hug when they need it the most, so we’ve made it our mission to make the world a brighter place with each and every card we design. Stormy Knight was set up in 2013 by its founder Sarah Jackson, alongside her day job as a graphic designer. Bored of working for corporate clients, Sarah poured her creativity into designing screen-printed batches of greeting cards and selling them to local shops in Bristol. Fast forward a decade, and our quirky, fun (and sometimes a little cheeky) designs can be found in some of the best design-led card and gift shops across the UK as well as internationally – and we’ve even stacked up a few awards!
Born out of a love for wrapping, passion for tradition and background in textiles, Paper Mirchi focuses on creating luxury artisanal papers that are handcrafted, recyclable and sustainable. We use 100% tree-free recycled cotton paper and utilise ancient textile processes such as hand block printing, tie dye, batik and techniques such as hand marbling to create an exceptional range of gift wrap sheets and greeting cards. At Paper Mirchi, we work closely with small family-run units in India, where the artisans are passionate about their craft which has been passed down through generations. I love working with the artisans to create new colours and patterns, blending traditional artistry with contemporary designs, in an attempt to bring to you a range of luxury papers that you will love!
As Founder of Wraptious, I made my first sale 10 years ago, collaborating with artists, passionately sharing their work at over 500 markets stalls and trade shows. Now I am proud to say that we support over 50 artists directly, and have promoted thousands of others. We believe all artists deserve opportunities to have their work shared. Our new ranges are even launched from the winners of our biannual competition - fun events where the public - not us - choose our artists! We go above and beyond for our customers, with product quality and sustainability cornerstones of Wraptious. We plant a tree per order, use sustainable resources and packaging, and pay artists fairly. Thank you for your support in helping us make a difference. Simon x

In 2018 the company was rebranded to Pretty Alright Goods after we added new members to our team. We continually work to produce products that are both witty and genuine. We love what we do and could not do it without the support of wonderful retailers like you.

What are some of the most popular wholesale greeting cards?
With so many greeting cards exchanging hands on the daily, let’s take a look at some of the most popular types, as well as emerging trends in high demand at the moment:
Vibrant and colourful designs
While classic and understated designs remain popular, there’s a growing market for greeting cards that are bold, colourful, and expressive. From vibrant patterns and modern typography, to cards featuring contemporary art and playful graphics — these options cater to those who want to send a message that’s as lively and unique as the occasion being celebrated.
When it comes to the most popular best-selling greeting card designs, there’s no doubt that bulk Birthday cards top the list. Following this are wholesale Thank You cards and Sympathy cards, along with Wedding, New Baby, Get Well Soon, and Congratulations cards. And of course, you’ll want to stock up on bulk Christmas cards ahead of the festive season.
When it comes to selling stationery products, we usually recommend a profit margin of around 45-55%. So when it comes to selling products in this category, greeting cards are ideal high-margin items.
There are many reasons why buying bulk birthday cards, and other greetings cards, on CREOATE is a good idea. For one thing, you can purchase from multiple brands and artists all in one place and only need to checkout once. You can also get a full refund on any products that don’t sell and send them back for free within 60 days, allowing you to discover new brands risk-free. For last-minute stock-ups, browse our Super Shipper brands, and keep an eye out for sellers with low minimum order values and high-margin greeting cards.
