American greeting cards are primarily made in the United States by several major manufacturers and smaller companies.
- American Greetings, headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, manufactures the majority of its cards in U.S. plants located in Greenville, Tennessee; Ripley, Tennessee; and Osceola, Arkansas
- Hallmark, based in Kansas City, Missouri, produces about 70% of its greeting cards in the U.S., mainly at its production center in Lawrence, Kansas, with wrapping paper and related products made in Leavenworth, Kansas
. Cards requiring intricate handwork are sometimes made abroad
- Other U.S.-based companies making greeting cards domestically include 1Up Greetings, Brookhollow, Canopy Street, Cards for Causes, and several small independent makers such as Rifle Paper Co. in Florida and Sugar Paper in Los Angeles
- Some companies emphasize environmentally friendly production, using recycled paper and sustainable practices, all within the U.S.
In summary, while some greeting cards are made overseas, many American greeting cards from leading companies like American Greetings and Hallmark are still manufactured in various U.S. locations, primarily in Ohio, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Kansas
