About Hallmark
Hallmark is the world's largest greeting card company, creating meaningful connections through cards and gifts since 1910. Founded by 18-year-old Joyce Clyde Hall in Kansas City, Missouri, with just two shoeboxes of postcards, the company has grown into a global powerhouse creating 30,000 new designs annually in over 30 languages. The Hallmark name was adopted in 1928, inspired by the hallmark symbol used by goldsmiths in 14th-century London – a mark of quality and authenticity. Today, the privately held, family-owned company offers more than 48,000 products at any time, from birthday and anniversary cards to wedding congratulations and sympathy messages. Hallmark's UK operations have been running since 1975, based in Bradford, West Yorkshire. The company's creative staff of around 900 artists, designers, writers, and photographers generates over 19,000 new and redesigned greeting cards yearly. In 1994, Hallmark acquired the beloved Forever Friends brand, adding this iconic character collection to their British portfolio. Whether you're celebrating a wedding, marking a milestone birthday, or simply sending thoughts to someone special, Hallmark cards are available throughout UK supermarkets including Morrisons. With their "When you care enough to send the very best" philosophy, Hallmark has helped people express their feelings for over a century.
