PG Live prepares for the biggest buzz yet

This year’s dedicated greeting card show PG Live 2019, taking place at London’s Business Design Centre from Tuesday 4 June – Wednesday 5 June, has revealed its impressive line-up for this year’s show.

With greeting cards featuring in the top six best-selling categories for party retailers in Progressive Party’s 2018 Retail Barometer and UK card sales coming in at £1.75bn in 2017, PG Live 2019 is the perfect platform for anyone looking to complement their partyware ranges with exciting new card collections.

This year’s enviable exhibitor list features over 230 established publishers, renowned artists and up-and-coming designers from around the globe.

“We are really looking forward to this year’s PG Live,” states Warren Lomax, joint show director. “The bar has been raised following last year’s incredible show and we know our exhibitors will rise to the occasion. We love being able to be work with so many talented people and we can’t wait to see their amazing new ranges!”

The focused, compact show has attracted a number of exclusive exhibitors, such as UKG, Hallmark, Paperlink, Wendy Jones-Blackett and ICG, who won’t be showing anywhere else throughout 2019.

Other leading names exhibiting include Paper Salad, The Art File, Woodmansterne, Belly Button Designs, Carte Blanche, Five Dollar Shake and Danilo, who will all be presenting fresh product and inspiring portfolios for all occasions.

Brand new publishers, such as Crumble and Core, Purple Tree Designs and Some Ink Nice will be making their show debut in the Springboard section, while up-and-coming names such as Deckled Edge, Pabuku and Toasted Crumpet will be among those making a welcome return to the exhibition.

As the most sociable show in the greeting card business, PG Live also offers fabulous free refreshments, a complimentary lunch (sponsored by Louise Tiler and Tache who have teamed up to celebrate their fifth anniversaries) and a free drinks party after the show on Tuesday.

A host of attention-grabbing highlights, competitions and special deals will also be on offer.
