Matching cards and wrap Looking For...

So many of our retailers tell us they are always looking for matching cards and wrap - so we went on a mission to find some they will love…

Museums & Galleries

It seems to make good sense to translate a strong selling card into a gift wrap. And for M&G, which works a great deal with repeat pattern from both contemporary and heritage sources, this is largely a natural progression, as demonstrated by Arts & Crafts designer Walter Crane’s Fig and Peacock from the V&A archives and Sarah Campbell’s strikingly bold Coffee Break - a modern classic. This season M&G has released star artist’s Josephine Simon’s Wild Garden as a gift wrap along with Hokusai’s iconic Great Wave print.

Cinnamon Aitch

Cinnamon Aitch launches four more stunning gift wrap designs, all with beautiful coordinating greetings cards this June. Building on the success of the recyclable wrap launched last year, more designs have been added to the range, which sits beautifully next to the colour-popping, floral card range ‘Bloom’. The company feels a stronger impact is made if customers can see a coordinating wrap to echo the card and some gorgeous displays have been made demonstrating this in shops. And if a customer has taken the time to find the perfect card, then what’s not to love about a wrap that complements this! Cinnamon Aitch continues the story from cards and wrap into gorgeous eco soaps, soy wax candles and lip balms.

The Art File

The Art File supplies matching gift wrap and bags for several of its most popular card ranges including Soleil, Maestro and Sakura Heights. Soleil is an eye-catching and vibrant collection new to The Art File’s Spring/Summer Everyday Collection. Each design was hand-drawn by the award-winning in-house design team. The illustrations were then adapted for gift wrap and gift bag formats. Maestro is another in-house design, which is themed around music and classic musical instruments, and Sakura Heights is a beautiful range that celebrates the popular Japanism trend, which has been sweeping through our industry for a number of years.

Susannah Bleasby Fine Art

Canadian artist Susannah Bleasby’s abstract art cards are little bursts of colour that bring a smile. Smaller than a standard greeting card but larger than a gift enclosure, these 125mm square cards are like mini paintings with their joyful brushstrokes and lively compositions. They are the perfect size for a little hello and can be beautifully complemented with matching abstract gift wrap to make any gift even more personal. Each sheet of wrap is created from a single abstract painting so that it always looks different depending on how you wrap it, which turns every present into a little piece of art! Designed and printed in the UK using sustainable processes and materials.
