Helping friends to celebrate every special little moment in life since 1985

As a market-leading publisher of contemporary, art and humorous greetings cards, we choose to break convention with strong new brands and exciting designs to capture those magical moments.

From our Family to yours

Founded by Louise Tighe in 1985, Paperlink may have grown in size, but at heart we’re still the same family run business we’ve always been. Louise’s daughter Frankie Ellis continues to drive forward the business, bringing fresh creativity and innovation in everything we do… and many of our loyal team have been here since the beginning

Serious About Sustainability

Sustainability is at the forefront of everything we do and we’re constantly working to improve the environmental impact of our products. All our cards are fully recyclable, made from FSC board and even help restore and protect endangered forests around the world due to our partnership with the World Land Trust.

FOUNDER & CEO

Louise Tighe

The right card has an almost magical ability to connect people. Balancing humour, design and creativity to reflect back the subconscious, intangible elements of our relationships.

Whether it’s the subtle similarities customers feel towards the illustrations, a nod towards an inside joke, or simply a design they will love and cherish. It’s our duty and passion to ensure that every card makes the recipient feel special, whatever the occasion.

Fundraising & Good Causes

Through the sale of our charity cards we’ve raised over £200k to support Cancer Research and the NSPCC.

This has helped Cancer Research progress further with their life changing work, and the funds donated to the NSPCC covered the cost of counsellors supporting over 25,000 children in need of help and advice.

Every charity card sale, makes a real difference to families across the UK.

We’re all here to help. Over the years we’ve built some fantastic relationships with shop owners and card buyers. It’s all about going the extra mile, whether that’s visiting at times that work for our customers or giving advice and guidance to help boost sales and drive better results for the shop owners.

Paperlink is able to offer a complete card range, with brilliant designs available for all captions, styles and interests… I’d like to say customers stay because of our charming personalities, but the product we’ve got to offer is second to none and it shows in the results shop owners get.
