Counting Down To PG Live 2017!

The final countdown to PG Live is always an exciting time for us, with the feel-good factor running high as we put the finishing touches to the show.

PG Live 2017 celebrates a wonderfully eclectic exhibitor mix and will once again be full of fantastic surprises and hidden treasures. This preview will give you a small glimpse of that as we go behind the scenes to find out what’s in store from over 280 publishers, designers and artists – including show offers, major launches and all manner of other celebrations.

This year’s incredible line-up includes the most exciting names from right across the greeting card industry, all working hard preparing their stands to make sure they can grab your attention and present you with their very best collections. It’s fair to say that they’re a keen bunch!

While our exhibitors have been burning the midnight oil bringing their designs and collections to life, we’ve been busy making sure your visit will be as easy and enjoyable as possible.

Once you arrive at the show, we’ll make sure you never go hungry (thanks to a delicious, free, two-course lunch) or thirsty (courtesy of those tea-riffic free refreshment trolleys). A jam-packed catalogue will keep you on track, while a gorgeous tote bag is ideal for carrying all those free samples in – and of course the famous post-show free drinks party is ideal for some serious industry networking. Held on Tuesday 6 June directly after the show, everyone is welcome – so make sure you come along!

With a reputation for being the most sociable show in the business, we believe that the most important thing is that you have fun; so we want you to explore the show, uncover new product and build relationships with as many of our exhibitors as possible. Of course, taking advantage of those show-only deals is always a good idea too!

This show preview will give you a quick glimpse of what is in store at the show itself, so get comfy and start planning your fun-filled visit now. We look forward to seeing you in June!

Getting To The Show

Staying Over?

Held in the bright, airy surroundings of the Business Design Centre in Islington, London, PG Live 2017 is easily accessible, with fabulous public transport links.

There’s a lot to see at PG Live 2017, and with just two days to fit it all in, the show is a great excuse to spend a few nights in London.

Once the show is over, visitors can enjoy the famous sights, entertainment and nightlife, which can be found in our wonderful capital city.

Travelling to the Business Design Centre couldn’t be simpler. Angel Undergound station is just five minutes walk away, and can be reached in a matter of minutes from both Euston and King’s Cross (take the Northern Line), while Liverpool Street and Waterloo are just a short journey away.

We recommend travelling to the show by public transport, but if you can’t avoid driving, there are 200 spaces in the car park alongside the Business Design Centre and limited additional capacity in the surrounding area. For sat navs, use the postcode N1 0PW.

Rest Your Head June is a great time to be in London, so why not stick around? We suggest using a hotel comparison site such as Trivago.com or Booking.com, while airbnb.co.uk has some great local options.

Let Us Help For any other queries, or if you would like some help planning your visit, please call the PG Live Team on +44 (0)1635 297070 or visit www.progressivegreetingslive.com

Leading brands exhibit alongside boutique publishers and brand new companies, guaranteeing that PG Live 2017 will be packed to the brim with an amazing array of original, creative designs.

As such, the following pages are split into two sections – the main show (for major names and established publishers) and the Springboard section (for new and emerging publishers).

It’s a fantastic peek behind the scenes of this year’s show, with thousands of original designs, exciting ranges and exclusive show offers all in one place.

Our cards belong in frames as well as envelopes. Alicorn Cards’ founder, illustrator Laura Frame, has an MDes from Glasgow School of Art, and her work has appeared in exhibitions all over the world, which may explain why she’s so fussy about both the quality of Alicorn’s output and her choice of collaborators. Our all-new, diverse ranges use illustration, collage and typography to create impact. And there’s always something worth reading on the flip side, too!

Always Sparkle creates a contemporary collection of design-led greeting cards, stationery and prints. Our aim is to create stylish, design-led products that will brighten your day. All our products are proudly designed and made in the UK. We are very excited to be launching new Sparkle Christmas designs as well as two new and exciting contemporary card collections.

We are pleased to be exhibiting for the first time at PG Live this year. We produce handprinted greeting cards that are printed in the UK onto high quality FSC board. Our cards have a clean, fresh look and are perfect for all occasions, for friends and relatives. We are particularly excited to be launching a new modern floral range, some of which are enhanced with a gold foil finish.

Ciao London! Team ArtCard La Collection is very excited for our first time at PG Live.

Enter our world, where fresh, colourful and original collections are waiting for you. You will find quality printing on high-end paper, all Italian-made. Visit our stand: in addition to discounts and benefits offered during the show, you will find out an innovative business not to be missed. ‘A greeting card is more than a memory because it treasures moments and sensations to never forget.’ SHOW OFFER: Exclusive discounts to be announced.

Pop along to our stand for a very warm welcome, as we bring you gorgeous, fresh, high-quality, contemporary art greeting cards.

Award-winning textile art is translated into rich and graphic cards complemented by life and captured through the camera lens and digital darkroom to breathe new meaning into an image. We will be bringing lots of exciting new designs to PG Live, including those in the Fresh, Clear Water, Numbers and Coastal ranges. We are always happy to discuss themes for specific regions.

Bespoke Verse creates poetry-themed cards that say just the right things with rhyme. We believe life is full of special occasions – from weddings to birthdays to holidays to everyday – that call for equally special words and wit.

Our poems are thoughtfully crafted out of our studio in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, then combined with top quality materials sourced in Britain to make our signature prints and gifts.

All our cards are made in the UK.

‘From the sublime to the ridiculous’ is a good way to describe our weird and wonderful work!

We are exhibiting at PG Live for the first time and after a great first year we have built up a hugely diverse range already, travelling from fine art to utter nonsense, taking detours through retro graphics, sarcastic teen humour, sumptuous hand-painted collages and funny little hand-modelled monsters along the way.

We at Blank Inside are a design-led stationery and gift brand featuring original beautiful illustrations, often with a witty caption and all hand-painted by illustrator Liz Temperley with the sole aim to make you smile. Her ranges of greeting cards, eco wrapping paper, recycled notebooks and pencil cases can be found in prestigious stores such as Selfridges, Liberty and Anthropologie. Liz will launch her new Zodiac range, cards with wildflower seeds in collaboration with The Bumblebee Conservation Trust and many more new designs.

Flattery is overrated – especially when it comes to greeting cards. Featuring distinctive illustrations and witty words, the Boggy Made This team keeps this concept firmly in mind.

No-frills sentiment, something touching-butunderstated, or a dash of dark humour: there’s something to inject a breath of fresh air into any occasion. Original and always tongue-incheek, they’re the kind of cards you give to people who already know you like them really...

And, well, they’re mostly the ones we’re all sending cards to anyway.

We are delighted to be back at PG Live with two new beautifully handcrafted collections to showcase since our very first showing in 2014.

The sparkling and elegant Silver Collection is absolutely luxurious and just the start of our glamorous creation. The Turquoise Collection adds a bit of shimmering colour, as the coloured rhinestones and sequins complement the glitter that makes these cards so sophisticated. We are so proud of these cards, which are beautiful enough to frame.

We’re really excited to be back at PG Live with even more illustrated puns. We’re unveiling a new number range at the show as well as extending many of our existing ranges, with some fantastically stinky new art and literature puns. Come and see us at our stand for a reluctant giggle at some of the silliest word play on the market. We’ll be playing pun-based games on the stand throughout the duration of the show with the opportunity to win a very special prize! SHOW OFFER: Win 20% off your first order.

We are delighted to be back for our second PG Live this year! Jemma Banks Design publishes everyday greeting cards brimming with animals, a soft colour palette and a balance between contemporary and cute. We will be debuting a brand new range of children’s age cards, as well as additions to our Animal Chat and Festivities ranges. We look forward to seeing you at the show!

Sweet Design Studio is a modern ethnic greeting card and gift brand that celebrates your body shape. Putting female empowerment at the forefront of my designs, all my illustrations feature the actual silhouette shapes of women who have inspired not only myself but others not to conform to ‘conventional beauty standards’. My greeting cards include exciting and innovative ranges, such as My Shero, Your Fabulous and Wonder Mum. This will be my first PG Live trade show so I am super excited to be debuting my collection.
