THE GREATEST COLLECTION OF GREETING CARDS IN THE WORLD RETURNS FOR 2019

Show Essentials

A Very Special Thank You To:

When: Where:

A lot of work goes into making PG Live the greatest collection of greeting cards in the world, but we couldn’t do it without some very special help from the greetings community. We would like to give a very big PG Live-style thank you to the following for sponsoring key elements of the 2019 show:

Lagom Design for the gorgeous keepsake tote bags, G.F Smith for the show lanyards, Fedrigoni for the (essential!) free tea and coffee trolleys and refreshment points and of course Louise Tiler Designs and Tache for their fabulous lunchroom dĂŠcor and opening night party.

We would also like to thank The Imaging Centre for supporting the Springboard Lounge, and of course we have to thank G.F Smith and The Imaging Centre for all those stunning free invitations our exhibitors have been sending out!

Excitement builds for PG Live 2019 Every year the excitement surrounding PG Live seems to begin earlier and earlier and 2019 is no different! Building on last year’s incredible tenth anniversary show was always going to be a challenge, but this year’s show is already shaping up to be something very special indeed.

In fact, that famous PG Live buzz has already started; the @PGLiveLondon Instagram feed is full of exhibitors giving sneak previews of the lines they’ll be launching at the show and we’re doing our best to make sure you can see as many of these as possible. Of course, the fast-moving nature of social media means that’s not always possible, so we have also produced this fabulous preview which will give you just a small glimpse of what’s going on behind the scenes as over 230 exhibitors prepare to come together in the greatest gathering of greeting cards in the world!

This year’s wide-ranging exhibitor list includes the most inspiring publishers from right across the greeting card industry, with more than 100 exclusive names who won’t be showing anywhere else this year. Each and every exhibitor puts in an incredible amount of hard work into creating their new launches in time for the show, so we’re always over the moon that so many retailers of all shapes and sizes come along to the results of all that dedication.

PG Live is a highlight of the year for us as well, as we love seeing everyone come together to celebrate this very special industry. So while the publishers have been putting the finishing touches to their ranges, we’ve been busy making sure that your visit will be as easy, enjoyable and productive as possible.

From the delicious free lunch to the bottomless cups of tea and coffee and strategically-placed water stations, we’ll make sure you are always refreshed and raring to go. A free show catalogue will help you plan your visit, while this year’s colourful statement tote bag is ideal for collecting free samples. And of course the famous post-show free drinks party is essential for some serious industry networking. Held on Tuesday 4 June directly after the show, everyone is welcome – and the drinks are on us!

@PGLiveLondon @PGLiveLondon

So start planning your visit now – we look forward to seeing you in June!

The PG Live Promise Each year our lovely PG Live exhibitors manage to push the bar even further in terms of originality, imagination and quality and this year’s offering really has to be seen to be believed.

The jam-packed show floor will be full of exciting new product from over 230 different companies, from brand new start-ups who are showing their work for the first time ever to established publishers who will be launching a number of new collections at the show.

In fact, there’s far too much going on for us to list everything – we’d be here all day! So we have asked the exhibitors themselves to share what they’ll be launching at the show and they weren’t shy about coming forward!

The following pages are split into three main sections.

The main show is based on the first floor and should be your first stop to see the latest collections from the leading card publishers in the business. The Village Green is on the ground floor space at the front of the show and is a mix of established springboarders and larger publishers, while the Springboard section - which is on the gallery and a dedicated area on the second floor - is a melting pot of new and emerging publishers.

The following pages will give you a fantastic peek behind the scenes of this year’s show, fulfilling the famous PG Live promise of thousands of brand new designs, fresh innovative ranges and exclusive show offers.

Enjoy planning your visit!

We cover everything in a healthy dose of sarcasm and glitter to make our cards snarky and pretty in equal portions. We’re less about heartfelt emotion and more about bringing a smile to people’s face or making them point and say ‘Oh that’s so me’. So come and check out our new ranges for a surefire giggle.

Bexy Boo is a contemporary greeting card company creating new and innovative handfinished designs and we are feeling pretty chuffed to have won a few awards too. Following on from the super successful Lolly Lush Pop and Pretty Poppet ranges, there will be lots of new designs added and maybe even a new range based on an original theme too.

THE PG LIVE PARTY There’s only one place to be as the first day of the show comes to a close. The free drinks party which takes place each year is open to both exhibitors and buyers, giving everyone a chance to kick back, relax and toast the end of the first day with a glass of wine or a well-deserved beer.

The unmissable opening night shindig (sponsored

by Tache and Louise Tiler Designs) is one of the highlights of the show, with hundreds of people from right across the industry coming together to enjoy some serious networking. And after a long day of making new contacts and placing lots of orders, there’s no better way to catch up with all your industry friends.

The bash takes place on Tuesday June 4, up in the Gallery Hall, from 5:45pm until 7.45pm. And don’t forget, the drinks are on us.

PG LIVE’S PERFECT LUNCH PG Live’s Warren Lomax and Jakki Brown with the BDC’s ceo Dominic Jones.

It’s hard to work on an empty stomach, but we believe that all of PG Live’s exhibitors and visitors deserve more than grabbing a quick sandwich. Instead, we make sure everyone at the show has the opportunity to sit down and enjoy good food (and even better company!) to set you up for the busy afternoon ahead.

In a first for PG Live, the 2019 lunchroom will be sponsored by two exhibitors, with Louise Tiler Designs and Tache teaming up to mark five years in business.

22

Whether they are exhibiting in the main show, Village Green or Springboard, many of the exhibitors at PG Live 2019 will be open to enquiries about licensing their fantastic designs as well as possible bespoke design work. Just keep an eye out for the Licensing Friendly signs, which will be proudly displayed on stands throughout the show.

“We have come up with some really exciting ideas already,” said Louise. “We can’t wait to see what you all think!”

Head to the Gallery Hall between 1pm and 3pm for a choice of delicious hot and cold dishes and fabulous desserts, all completely free of charge.

The go-to destination for anyone looking to discover new and emerging talent, the Springboard section of PG Live 2019 plays host to an inspiring selection of brand new start-ups, undiscovered artists and up-and-coming publishers.

She continued; “PG Live has created something quite special and different from some of the other shows I attend.

It has a unique feel – it’s like a lovely daytime party to meet like-minded card people. What could be nicer?”
