Looking Forward To PG Live 2018!

We cannot wait to bring all our favourite people together to celebrate ten years of PG Live in 2018. The weeks leading up to the show are always an exhilarating time and this year’s anniversary show will be the best so far!

This preview will give you a small glimpse of just some of what’s going on behind the scenes as over 250 exhibitors prepare to celebrate the great art of card buying. This year’s eclectic exhibitor list includes the most inspiring publishers from right across the greeting card industry, with many exclusive names who won’t be showing anywhere else this year. Each year they manage to go several steps further in terms of originality, imagination and quality – this year’s offering really has to be seen to be believed.

Each and every exhibitor puts in an incredible amount of effort, dedication and care into their respective new launches, so it’s fabulous that retailers of all sizes come along to see the results of their hard work. We love seeing everyone come together to help celebrate this very special industry – so we’ve been busy as well, making sure your visit will be as easy, enjoyable and productive as possible.

Once you arrive at the show (in glorious sunshine if we have anything to do with it!), we’ll make sure you are always fully fuelled and ready to go, thanks to the delicious free lunch and the endless rounds of free tea and coffee, courtesy of those tea-riffic refreshment trolleys. A show catalogue will help you plan your day, while a beautifully-designed tote bag is ideal for collecting free samples – and of course the famous post-show free drinks party is essential for some serious industry networking. Held on Tuesday 5 June directly after the show, everyone is welcome – and the drinks are on us!

@PGLiveLondon

We are especially proud of being ‘the friendliest show in the business’ – the uniquely supportive and buzzy atmosphere at PG Live encourages plenty of networking, relationship building and new friendships.

We want you to enjoy your time with us, finding new suppliers, uncovering new product and taking advantage of all those special show offers.

So start planning your visit now – we look forward to seeing you in June!

Getting To The Show

Staying Over?

Held in the bright, airy surroundings of the Business Design Centre in Islington, London, PG Live 2018 is easily accessible, with fabulous public transport links.

There’s a lot to see at PG Live 2018, and with just two days to fit it all in, the show is a great excuse to spend a few nights in London.

Once the show is over, visitors can enjoy the famous sights, entertainment and nightlife, which can be found in our wonderful capital city.

Travelling to the Business Design Centre couldn’t be simpler. Angel Undergound station is just five minutes walk away, and can be reached in a matter of minutes from both Euston and King’s Cross (take the Northern Line), while Liverpool Street and Waterloo are only a short journey away.

We recommend travelling to the show by public transport, but if you can’t avoid driving, there are 200 spaces in the car park alongside the Business Design Centre and limited additional capacity in the surrounding area. For sat navs, use the postcode N1 0PW.

Rest Your Head June is a great time to be in London, so why not stick around?

We suggest using a hotel comparison site such as Trivago.com or Booking.com, while airbnb.co.uk has some great local options.

Let Us Help For any other queries, or if you would like some help planning your visit, please call the PG Live Team on +44 (0)1635 297070 or visit www.progressivegreetingslive.com

And around 100 exhibitors are exclusive to the show, making PG Live 2018 the only opportunity this year to see the latest designs from a number of high-profile names and brand new up-and-coming publishers.

In fact, there’s far too much going on for us to list everything so we have asked the exhibitors themselves to share what they’ll be launching at the show – and they weren’t shy about coming forward!

The following pages are split into two sections – the main show (your first stop to see the latest collections from the leading card publishers in the business) and the Springboard section (for new and emerging publishers).

It’s a fantastic peek behind the scenes of this year’s anniversary show, with thousands of brand new designs, fresh innovative ranges and exclusive show offers.

Empathy is at the forefront of my collection and I will be showcasing bestsellers and new designs including a great range of bright cards for occasions and everyday.

A quintessentially British brand and British Craft Awards winner 2015. Siobhan at April Rose is the brand name for watercolour artist and illustrator Siobhan Harrison. Artwork is available for licence and product for retail.

Bawdy, blue, brilliant, droll, filthy, funny, gay, humorous, naughty, raunchy, wicked, and witty cards and gifts – that’s Bloodshot Press!

Bloodshot was started by Alicia Gronke in 2002 as she was desperately trying to ignore her neurotic kids during the longest Spring Holiday in history. The result was a line of sarcastic cards. See them for yourself – we dare you not to laugh.

Show offer: take home a complimentary pack of cards.

This modern range features the irresistibly cute hand-drawn illustrations of the Instagram famous Turtle Wayne. The square greeting cards reflect modern life in a cheeky manner that makes anyone smile.

Flattery is overrated – especially when it comes to greeting cards. With a tongue-in-cheek twist on your typical designs, we at Boggy Made This keep this concept firmly in mind. So for your fill of no-frills sentiment, something touchingbut-understated or the occasional dash of dark humour, inject a breath of fresh air into any occasion with these witty, illustrated cards.

Our cards capture the diversity of skin colours bringing different people together. Our cards reflect reality; if you were to take a walk down a major high road it would be no surprise to see a wide range of diversity, ranging from black right through to white and much more. Our cards reflect the fact that people are mixing together like never before, creating new skin tones every day. For example HRH Prince Harry and Meghan creating something special.

We make cards that tell the truth. There’s no more of that ‘Congratulations on your new job!’ nonsense. We say: ‘You are moving from one mediocre job to another.’ And there’s our new Unoccasions range, so finally people can send cards to celebrate Brexit and the menopause.

It’s our first time at PG Live. So come and see us and pretend to like our cards.

Our very first time at PG Live, Running Cards UK is less than a year old.

We publish fabulous hand-finished greeting cards here in the UK.

This year we are seriously excited about the launch of our fantastic luxury wedding and anniversary range. All beautifully hand-finished with diamantes and sparkle.
