About us

We are the leading specialist retailer of greetings cards, gift dressings and party products in the UK - something that we're really proud of! Not only do we sell cards, you'll find a huge selection of gifts, wrapping paper, balloons, gift bags and so much more both in-store and online - all of which is exclusive to us. At card factory, we want to make it as easy as possible for you to celebrate every special occasion. Whether it's a personalised card, pretty gift box or all the trimmings you need for a fabulous party, we've got all you need to get everything all wrapped up. Our first store opened in Wakefield back in 1997 and Card Factory has gone from strength to strength since then. We now have over 1000 stores in both the UK and Ireland. We design, print and make most of our products here in the UK, so we know that you are getting the best, whether it's a birthday card or Christmas gift bag. When it comes to personalised cards and gifts, these are all made to order and we aim to get them in the post to you quickly and efficiently. All of this means that we believe our service is second to none. But there are plenty of other things that make Card Factory a fantastic company, including: • Exclusive ranges - Because we design and print our own cards and personalised gifts, they are exclusive to Card Factory so you won't find them anywhere else. • Thousands of products to choose from - We have a massive range online and in store and we're adding new products all the time to help you find exactly what you need! • Our prices can't be beaten - Most of our cards are on sale for less than £1, so we offer fantastic savings and exceptional value for money. • We make it personal - You can get everything from personalised cards to mugs and cushions from our website, all at unbeatable prices. • Based in the UK - All of our stores are in the UK and Ireland, while our head office can be found in Wakefield.
