So Great To Have You Here! We are so, so pleased to welcome you to PG Live 2022! This special exhibition really is a celebration of everything great about our industry – wonderful products, a great bunch of people and a true sense of camaraderie. It’s where business will meet pleasure and no mistake. Greeting cards have really held their own in the last few years of uncertainty, providing that all important tangible way of people being able communicate and show they care. As you talented publishers have pulled out the stops with designs that chime with the public’s tastes, you incredible retailers have been there to meet the demand. PG Live 2022 is very much playing a part in the continuation of this – with thousands and thousands of new designs being launched by a vast array of companies – from leading brands to newbie start-ups and everything in between. (Not to mention some stunning complementary gifts, stationery and homeware as well as some fab artists’ agents and invaluable trade suppliers who are all revved up to share their portfolios of newness and developments too). And what makes this year’s show even better is that with the easing of travel restrictions we are

also welcoming back our friends from overseas who very much add to the vibe, not to mention the lovely export orders they will be placing. This catalogue showcases just some of the fabulous products that are being launched at the show, with exhibitors’ details making any follow ups after the show easy peasy. As if all those brand new launches weren’t enough, there are also stacks of extra incentives, show offers and special touches that will make your visit PG Live even more memorable. Do make sure you write your Card for the Queen (in the feature area on Stand 340 on the main mezzanine) so that it will join our industry ‘postbag’ that will be delivered to Buckingham Palace soon after the show. Of course, it wouldn’t be PG Live without those all-important little extras, so don’t forget to take advantage of the fabulous free refreshments, delicious complimentary lunches and the free Opening Night party for everyone straight after the show – the drinks are on us! So good you are a part of PG Live 2022, we really are so very happy to see you here. Have lots of fun! Jakki, Warren, Tracey, Jim and Ian THE PG LIVE TEAM

EXTENDED HUGS OF THANKS... While it is very much down to our wonderful exhibitors to create an amazing array of thousands of brand new designs for you, our PG Live visitors, we also have to thank many others from the extended greeting card community for helping us to add the extra touches to the show. We would like to give a PG Live hug of thanks to... Emotional Rescue x Paper Salad for the lovely PG Live keepsake tote bags; G.F Smith for the stunning show lanyards and eco-badge holders; Windles for the (essential) tea and coffee trollies and refreshment point and Ankorstore for sponsoring the lunchroom and opening night party. Also, we would like to ‘blow the trumpet’ for web/ecommerce superstars Skylight Media, for sponsoring the one and only Graeme Airth, saxophonist extraordinaire (of Curiosity Killed the Cat fame) who was there to welcome you and will also play during lunch. Much praise, as ever goes to the fab team at The Imaging Centre for supporting the buyers’ lounge area, and not forgetting printing all the exhibitors’ postcards as well as the Golden, Silver and Sunshine tickets on wonderful board, provided by G.F Smith. It has also been great to work with the GCA on creating the Cards for the Queen feature. Hurrah! We could not have done it without them! 5
“
“
...the whole team at Skylight who carry out all the tasks in an amazing time scale...is by far the best I have ever received from any other supplier. I would never consider leaving Skylight as they always have new inspiring ideas and outstanding customer service.
Our modest minimums, hands-on approach and small-run production make G . F Smith a supplier of choice to producers of greetings cards. Find out more at gfsmith.com/greetings 7

Who’s here and who’s where? Navigating the various sections at PG Live is as wonderfully simple as everything else connected to the show. PG Live is spread over three levels at the Business Design Centre and once you’re inside you can see all the levels simultaneously, so it’s easy to see how they all fit together.

As a rough guide, the ground floor is the ‘Village Green’, which plays host to a mix of Springboard and main show exhibitors. The mezzanine features established publishers, while the gallery (to the right hand side of the building) plays host to Springboard and the all-important lunchroom.
