News Release Hallmark Business Expressions Announces New Green Holiday Card Collection Collection features new environmentally friendly cards to help companies say "Happy Holidays" (KANSAS CITY, Mo. - August 20, 2008) Hallmark Business Expressions, the business-to-business subsidiary of Hallmark Cards, Inc., announced the launch of its new collection of environmentally friendly holiday business greeting cards. Now available at Hallmark.BusinessGreetings.com, the collection is part of a larger initiative by Hallmark Business Expressions to minimize its impact on the environment while helping businesses build and reinforce relationships with their customers, prospects and employees. “The green holiday card collection is a direct response to customer feedback,” said Marc Wagenheim, product marketing director for Hallmark Business Expressions. The green holiday line features nine new cards produced on a stock made from 50 percent sugar cane pulp and 50 percent recycled paper. They bear a special icon and labeling on the back, so companies who send these cards are clearly making a statement about their environmental consciousness. The envelopes included with the cards are also made from 100 percent recycled materials. Businesses can choose from a range of designs in the new collection, from traditional holiday designs with messages like “Season Greetings” and “Happy Holidays,” to more green-themed designs and messages. All of the green holiday cards can be personalized with a company logo, personal closing and a variety of sentiments inside the card, such as “With warm thanks for your business and sincere wishes for a happy holiday season,” “Wishing you the most sustainable gifts for the holidays,” and “Have a holiday season filled with all the essentials,” among others. “Businesses can truly make a lasting impression this holiday season with these green holiday cards while reflecting their company values,” added Wagenheim. “We are pleased to provide the opportunity to collaborate with our customers to be responsible stewards of the planet. Hallmark Business Expressions is committed to environmentally responsible business practices, and we continue to look for new and sustainable ways to minimize our impact on the earth.” In conjunction with the release of its green card line, Hallmark Business Expressions announced the availability of its full 2008 holiday business greeting card line.
