I wanna bulk buy Birthday cards

Skint_Catt

I'm talking 150 or 300 in one lot (same design pref).

Its for our company to send a birthday card to each employee - I've had a good quote to print our own, but I need to get a quote for a 'ready made' card like you'd buy in the shops) but bought in bulk.

Where would I start?

Thanks

Contact the card manufacturers would be my first point of call. is it eUK that supply books and cards to supermarkets maybe try them.

The problem is that 150 even 300 isnt a huge order I think it would be better for the company to buy in a custom designed card enough for 1 for each employee, then for the following year a new design, much more custom than just getting in 150 cards that can be bought from a shop. changeing them each year means that the employees don't get the same card year after year. If you wanted to make them cheaper maybe you could order 4 designs so 600 cards and keep a list of who receives which card and make it so they don't get the same card the following year?

Don't know how to find them - hence my post!

Can't buy from ebay - company won't allow.

See if you have a Phoenix Trading rep operating near you. Their cards are really nice - possibly not the cheapest but they might do you deal for bulk. www.phoenix-trading.co.uk

go to yell.com and put greeting card wholesalers in the search box. ive been playing with it, and it seems results are affected most by what you put in the location boxes. being specific (ie cardiff) tended to bring up general high street retailers, but the more general (south wales/wales) brought up mostly wholesalers.

where are you located? i know of a good company in cardiff if thats any good?
