The next round of trade shows is just around the corner and we’re keeping our eye out for some of the fabulous greetings card publishers you can look forward to seeing in September.
Top Drawer is a treasure trove of design-led products, quirky artwork and stylish, lifestyle-oriented brands. The greetings card offering is always strong at this event, which runs from 15 – 17 September at London’s Olympia.
One of our favourite publishers of the moment, Lip International, will launch its latest ranges at Top Drawer, including some wonderfully irreverent (but not TOO naughty) Christmas greetings and cool everyday cards with a retro twist.
Southport-based Lip International has been designing, publishing and distributing greeting cards and gift product since 1984, starting out with black and white photographic art cards and postcards before moving into the world of in-house artist designed greeting cards and stationery products featuring the work of Stephen Mackey and Max Hernn amongst others. Ranges include the extremely successful Celestial, Porcelina, Oklahoma! and Bikini.
In addition to publishing these artists’ designs Lip International also has a successful licensing operation which works with many licencees throughout Europe and the USA.
Products including greeting cards, poster wrap and other gift product are available to purchase worldwide through Lip International’s retail and trade online stores.
