Clinton Cards Greeting Cards

Clintons, formerly known as Clinton Cards, is a prominent British greeting card retailer founded in 1968. For decades, it remained a staple of the UK high street, providing a wide range of products for special occasions, including cards, plush toys, and gift wrap. The brand has a rich history of serving the British public but has undergone several financial restructurings over the years to adapt to the changing retail landscape.

In 2012, the company was acquired by American Greetings, which helped stabilize it during a period of administration. However, by 2019, the ownership shifted to Esquire Retail Limited, a firm backed by the Weiss family—the same owners behind American Greetings. This strategic ownership ensures that the brand continues to benefit from global design expertise while maintaining its local presence in the United Kingdom.

Currently, Clintons sources its products from a global supply chain to ensure a diverse inventory. While many of its card designs are developed in the UK and USA, the physical manufacturing occurs across multiple countries, including the UK, China, and various European nations, depending on the specific product line.
