There is a revolution happening in the greeting card industry.

Huge quantities of paper cards are produced by national greeting card companies, which are distributed to their stores and outlets for retail sale. The result is that millions of cards are unsold and have to be destroyed every year - harmful for the environment, a waste of precious natural resources, and just adds to already overburdened landfills.

Greeting Card Universe (www.greetingcarduniverse.com) is changing that by revolutionizing the way greeting cards are printed and sold.

Digital print-on-demand technology means that a GCU greeting card is only printed when it is bought by the customer from their on-line store - convenient, more environmentally friendly, excellent quality, and the pricing is very competitive.

There are other good reasons to check Greeting Card Universe first for your paper card needs.

Artists can open a free storefront in minutes and upload their own designs, offering one-of-a-kind art and sentiments that cannot be found in mainstream shops. This has resulted in the creation of unique niche offerings to consumers, such as birthday cards by age or relationship (ex., "Happy 32nd Birthday" or "Happy Birthday to My Foster Brother), or sensitive and supportive greeting cards for cancer patients, children's party invitations, and many others. Mainstream holidays and multi-cultural holidays are well represented, including Christmas, Valentine's Day, Halloween, Dia de los Muertos, Rosh Hashanah, Ramadan, Norooz, etc.

With over 1,300 artists and a selection of 57,000-plus cards (and growing every day), GCU ranks number one in Google (and other) search engine results for just about any paper greeting cards subject, such as "pajama party paper cards." If you are seeking a special personalized card, many artists offer custom cards on request.

Instead of spending money on gas and increasing carbon emissions by driving to the mall, you can find the perfect card on-line from the convenience of your home or office. GCU offers direct mail service, too - the purchased card can be sent directly to the recipient, and you can choose the sending date. You can also choose to have the card mailed to your address so you can personalize it yourself. Busy business people will appreciate the opportunity to send cards to clients, vendors and employees without any fuss or hassle.

Whether you need cards for business or personal needs - one greeting card or a thousand - you will be pleased by what's on offer at Greeting Card Universe.
