We are very selective about the cards we stock, and have new designs and titles each week. Our greeting cards are all discounted below the trade price listed on the pack to give you as much profit as possible, and even greater savings can be made by buying our greeting card starter packs and bulk buy packs. If buying one of these ready made card packs, we also supply the title finder cards for your cards racks, making it easier for your customers to locate their required cards.
Included in our greeting cards bulk buys section are our Andersons Exclusive assortments - hand picked by us from our stock of quality publishers' cards. You'll get a great range of designs, colours and finishes - and as we've put them together won't find these assortments anywhere else! They give you really great savings too.
Further discounts off the trade price are available for regular volume purchases over £1,000 ex VAT - please email or call 01842 824505 for details.
GREETING CARDS SIZES EXPLAINED
All greeting cards we stock are sold in packs of 6 or 12, or in boxes of 72, 120 or 144. This is clearly stated in the listing for each pack or box of cards. Within the pack or box, each card and accompanying envelope is cellophane wrapped. The only cards we sell which are NOT cellophane wrapped are our individual boxes of 8 square cards.
When choosing cards, please make your selection by the card caption listed.
As well as showing the pack sizes, we list each card with the standard Greeting Cards Industry size code. These codes are explained below.
All sizes are approximate and may vary slightly from publisher to publisher. Where you also see a letter on the reverse of the card (i.e code G 50) the 'G' denotes the code for the retail price where retailers use an alphabetical reference list to denote their greeting cards pricing. We do not list any recommended prices.
All our customers set their own pricing, as they can vary according to the nature of their trade. However, if you require guidance or advice on greeting cards pricing, please feel free to contact us on 01842 824505
