The hottest GCA local in history (surely)!

We were delighted to team up with our friends Heyyy Cards to welcome members of the Greeting Card Association to our Sheffield site for a very special (and very sunny) GCA Local, giving visitors an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how we bring greeting cards to life.

It was a fantastic morning filled with great conversations, new connections and the opportunity to share more about the people, processes and technology behind our print production.

A Look Around Our Factory

We started our morning by welcoming everyone with coffee and croissants, before taking them on a guided tour around our production facilities.

From our newly installed litho press to the finishing and production areas, guests were able to see every stage of the print journey. We enjoyed answering questions throughout the tour and sharing more about how we work with publishers to take their greeting cards from screen to store.

A Great Morning of Networking

One of the highlights of the day was bringing together so many people from across the greeting card industry. It was great to welcome GCA members, alongside Heyyy Cards, and see everyone exchanging ideas and experiences throughout the morning.

Danielle GCA Marketing & Events Coordinator said:

"A brilliant and insightful visit, such an impressive set-up and a real eye-opener to see everything in action. I'd absolutely recommend any publisher take the time to come and experience it."

A big thank you to the Heyyy and the GCA for organising the event and to everyone who joined us, despite the heatwave. We always enjoy opening our doors to customers, industry friends and partners.
