For nearly 100 years, Hallmark Cards, Inc. has
helped people connect with one another and give voice to their
feelings. Our employees are personally passionate about caring,
creativity, quality and innovation, values that have guided us
from the start and remain at our core.
We're best known for greeting cards, but we're
much more than that. Our products include partyware, gifts and
gift wrap… ornaments and decorative items for the home…
memory-keeping picture frames, albums and scrapbooks… e-cards, a
magazine… even a cable television channel. We're with you at
holidays and any-days, at your most important milestones and
unexpected occasions, when you want to share a laugh and when you
seek to offer comfort.
We're privately held, and committed to remaining
so. We're family-owned with third-generation
family leadership taking us into the 21st century.
We've grown from two shoeboxes of postcards into a
$4.4 billion company. Our products can be found in 100 countries
around the world and in more than 43,000 stores in the United
States alone. Our flagship retail partners are the 3,700 Hallmark
Gold Crown® stores that offer the widest selection of our products
in communities across the U.S. Most of them are independently
owned by local entrepreneurs who care about their communities as
much as we care about ours.
Our roots extend deep in Kansas City, Mo., our
corporate headquarters. We have manufacturing and distribution
facilities in Missouri, Kansas, Connecticut, Georgia, Texas,
Illinois and Mississippi and are active in helping build healthy
communities in the cities and towns where our employees live and
work. Our subsidiaries, like Crayola, William Arthur and Hallmark
Channel, in addition to several greeting card companies, are our
partners in good corporate citizenship.
Creativity, innovation, quality and caring have
guided our decisions and earned us the trust of people who work
with us, buy our products and live in the communities we call
home. It's a trust we intend to keep.
