Wholesale Christmas Cards

What kind of bulk Christmas cards will I find on CREOATE?

The first thing to note is that, at CREOATE, our brands are selling their products wholesale for resale — in other words, you can only buy wholesale with us if you’re going to go on to sell these products in your shop, or ecommerce store. So if you’re looking for xmas cards in bulk so you can send one to every person in town, this might not be the right place for you.

But there are also plenty of fresh and funky options to shake up your shelves for the holiday season; think pop culture figures, puns, and no red or green in sight.

Whatever your preference, find your perfect selection from the 200+ Christmas card suppliers (and counting!) that currently sell wholesale through CREOATE.

Trends to watch for in wholesale christmas cards

Sustainability & eco-friendly options

As consumers become increasingly aware of their carbon footprint and the environmental impact of their purchases, sustainable wholesale Christmas cards are growing in popularity. Look out for cards made from recycled materials, printed with soy-based and other alternative inks, or packaged in eco-friendly wrapping. Offering biodegradable or plantable cards, which can be planted to grow flowers or herbs, can also appeal to green-minded shoppers and doubles up as a lovely gift.

Foil-stamped & embossed designs

Wholesale Christmas cards featuring luxurious foil-stamped or embossed details are perfect for customers looking to make a bold impression. Gold, silver, or metallic foil accents can add a touch of elegance, while embossed designs create a more tactile experience, making these cards stand out from more traditional options.

Whimsical & fantasy-themed cards

Christmas can be a magical time, and fantasy elements like magical creatures, dreamy snow-covered landscapes, or playful interpretations of Santa and his reindeer have become more popular. These creative cards are great for customers looking to share a sense of wonder and Christmas magic during the holidays.

Inclusive & diverse Christmas cards

Consumers are increasingly looking for cards that reflect diverse holiday traditions and represent various cultural backgrounds. Offering inclusive winter holiday cards that celebrate a wide range of seasonal festivities can help you reach a broader audience. Just some of these celebrations may include Yule, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Diwali, Lunar New Year, and more.

FAQs

Can I shop wholesale directly from the Christmas greeting card suppliers?

Some brands are set up to take wholesale orders directly. But when you shop through CREOATE, you unlock additional benefits and reassurances, like the option to return things within 60 days (which is crucial around Christmas, when it’s so hard to know how much stock you’ll need, but you don’t want to sell out of things). With our Price Match Promise, you can also be sure you’re never paying a penny more than you would elsewhere — just let us know if you’ve found it cheaper and we’ll refund you the difference.

What is the recommended profit margin when selling greeting cards?

When it comes to selling any stationery products, we usually recommend a profit margin of around 45-55%. So when it comes to selling products in this category, greeting cards are ideal high-margin items.

What other products are popular around Christmas?

Christmas is the spending peak of the year, so we notice a big jump in demand for pretty much all wholesale stock. That said, there are a few favourites that crop up every year; Christmas decor and bulk xmas cards, wholesale candles, wholesale hot chocolate and tea, wholesale mugs, crystals and socks — all the small gifty things!

Are these wholesale Christmas cards sustainably made?

Many of the wonderful wholesalers that sell through CREOATE have made sustainability a core practice in their business. You can use the Values filter at the top of the page to show only brands that consider themselves to be eco-friendly, or reach out to the brand through CREOATE if you have a specific sustainability question they haven’t covered in their brand bio, or the product’s description.
