and Postcards
From artwork setup to retail-ready at no extra cost.
FAST PRODUCTION - NO MINIMUMS
I run Cards by Simon from my home studio near Manchester, where I prepare, pack and dispatch all orders. I operate as a local service-area business, offering in-person delivery and consultancy by arrangement within Greater Manchester, and ship nationwide.
UK greeting card and postcard printing, eco-friendly, supporting artists and indies since 2013. A full service from artwork setup and card backs to finished, retail-ready cards and postcards. No minimum order and supplied in packs of 6 per design, sustainable values and fast turnarounds.
Hi! I’m Simon, Founder of Wraptious, and a UK supplier of premium greeting cards and postcards, based near Manchester in the Peak District. Since 2013, I’ve specialised in helping independent artists and small businesses create and sell their own ranges.
Unlike most printers, I offer a full artwork service at no extra cost, because I want to build long-term relationships, not add hidden charges. I prepare your artwork, design card and postcard backs, and prepare and package your products in my home studio. For cards, I also use recycled kraft or crimson envelopes and cellos or ‘naked’.
I offer local, in-person delivery within Greater Manchester, and post orders to customers elsewhere in the UK. I can also deliver direct to your trade customers, retail-ready. All fulfilment and handling is carried out from my home studio.
All cards and postcards are printed on sustainably sourced board, and cards come with recycled envelopes and packaging - values important to me. Orders have no minimums (just packs of 6 per design) and you can mix and match designs at the same price too. I manage all orders via emails, please contact me and I can help :)

No stock-holding or upfront bulk orders.
Reliable, tracked shipping direct to your customers.
White-label option available — no branding or paperwork inside.
