Tips

How to make a great greeting card line sheet

Structuring a greeting card line sheet

On a greeting card line sheet, show each design at the size it will sit on a spinner, with its code, occasion, inside message (or blank) and finish such as foil or letterpress. Pack minimums of 6 per design and the price per card go on every block. Box sets and assortments go on their own page, with the number of cards and envelopes per box.

Typical greeting card wholesale terms

Greeting cards usually sell at $2.25–$3 wholesale for a $5–$7 retail card, in multiples of 6 per design, with a $100–$150 opening order. Many publishers offer an assorted starter pack. Holiday cards are prebooked in summer.

What greeting card buyers look for

Card buyers plan by occasion and season. Organize the sheet into everyday occasions (birthday, love, thanks, sympathy, baby, wedding) and holiday, and give each card a short code buyers can write on an order. They also want the printing method, paper, envelope color and whether cards come sleeved.

FAQ

Greeting Card line sheet questions

Should I show the inside message on a card line sheet?

Yes, as a short line under the design or "blank inside". Buyers choose cards for their customers' needs, and the message often decides it.

How should I organize a greeting card line sheet?

By occasion, with bestsellers first in each section, plus a separate Holiday section with order deadlines.

Should a line sheet show retail prices?

Show both: the wholesale price is what the buyer pays you, and the MSRP (suggested retail price) tells them their margin at a glance. Most boutiques expect at least a 2x markup, so a sheet with both numbers answers their first question before they have to email you.
