Cherry Orchard
For nearly 30 years, Cherry Orchard has had long-standing relationships with its British printers and suppliers. Supporting local businesses has such a knock-on effect and impact not only within the local communities but the wider economy too. Cherry Orchard is proud to produce its product in the UK and not only are the cards of an extremely high quality, the company is also significantly reducing the miles that the products have travelled while lowering their carbon footprint.
While Cherry Orchard has found that its customers are not definitely demanding that products are made in the UK they really do feel a responsibility and have found that retailers are more conscious and aware of where the product is being shipped from than ever before. As a company Cherry Orchard are proud supporters to be championing Great British suppliers.
While keeping it British, Cherry Orchard has also made a conscious decision to support high street customers and once again held back any price increases, which Jackie Collins, MD, says she will continue to do for as long as is possible.
Cherry Orchard continues to offer a great British product with no compromises at a great British price!

Laura Darrington Design
Laura Darrington Design is proud to design, print, warehouse and publish every one of its designs exclusively in the UK. Laura says: “Cut us in half and we bleed red, white and blue!’’
To celebrate this coronation year Laura decided to honour the true British icon that is ‘London at Christmas’, as featured on one of the newest Christmas designs in the Spectrum Collection. A mixture of seasonal cheerfulness, the smell of mulled wine and last-minute panic.

The Art File is proud to print its entire greeting cards collection right here in the UK. It’s important to produce as many of our products in the UK as we can.
The benefits of dealing with UKbased suppliers are that we are able to support long-standing family-owned businesses that have been operating for longer than many of us have been in the industry, now run by people that grew up in and around printing factories. Ultimately, UK suppliers are among some of the most passionate, reliable and talented in the industry.
Beyond that, The Art File is committed to reducing their environmental impact as much as possible therefore dealing with UK suppliers eliminates the requirement for international shipping
