cardfactory Discount Codes & Vouchers

cardfactory is the British value card retailer, familiar from high streets across the country, and the website carries the same range plus personalised printing.

What they sell

Greetings cards are the core, sorted by occasion — birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, new baby, sympathy, Christmas — and by recipient, at prices that start well below what a card costs elsewhere. Around them sits everything a celebration needs: gift wrap and bags, balloons including foil and helium sets, banners, tableware and party accessories, and a gift range covering mugs, photo frames, toys, chocolates and homeware. Click and collect brings online orders into a local shop.

Personalised cards and photo gifts

The personalisation side lets you put a name, a message or your own photograph onto a card, a mug or a print. Two practical points. First, upload the highest resolution photograph you have — a picture pulled from a social media app is compressed and will print soft, particularly on anything larger than a mug. Second, proofread the preview yourself rather than trusting autocorrect; a personalised item is made to your instruction and is not usually returnable if the mistake is yours.

Ordering for a date

Cards are the one purchase where arriving late defeats the purpose, so work backwards from the occasion rather than the order date. Personalised items need production time on top of delivery, and both stretch in December. If the date is tight, click and collect into a nearby shop is usually faster and cheaper than home delivery, and it lets you check the item before you hand it over. For a big event, buying wrap, balloons and tableware in one order avoids paying delivery three times, and balloons sold flat need inflating locally, so check whether your branch does helium.
