With less than six weeks to go before Progressive Greetings (PG) Live begins at the Business Design Centre in London, June 2-3, preparations are now in full swing with new launches, anniversary celebrations and special offers.

More than 220 exhibitors will be showcasing their latest collections, ranging from publishers and brands, to boutique names and new designers — many of whom are are exclusive to PG Live, including Hallmark, UK Greetings, Carte Blanche, Paperlink and Gemma, among others.

This year's show will be playing host to a number of industry anniversaries and celebrations, starting with greeting card company Paperlink, which is celebrating  the past three decades of business. Paperlink is sponsoring PG Live’s lanyards, tea trollies and the post-show party on June 2.

Belly Button Designs will be coming of age, as it turns 21 in 2015, and the contemporary card company is celebrating by launching a new and exclusive collection at PG Live.

Paper Salad will also be celebrating, as it marks its first decade of design. As a special thank you to everyone in the industry, the greeting card company will also be creating the décor for the lunchroom where the free lunch will be served.

Everyone visiting and exhibiting at PG Live will receive free refreshments throughout the show, a complimentary two-course lunch, a keepsake show catalogue, full use of the Henry Cole Buyers’ Lounge (with free WiFi, sponsored by Skylight Media) and a free post-show drinks party on the first night.

“It is always a real honour to be able to bring so many card suppliers and buyers together, but the real joy comes from seeing the industry working together to do business, network and exchange ideas,” said Simon. “The 2015 show is going to include all the special touches we have added in the past — but it wouldn't be PG Live without a few surprises in store as well!”
