Printed materials as a means of communication has become
something of a trend, or more like, a necessity. Everything that
can be put in writing, has been put into writing. Every word
that can be printed has been printed. Even feelings and
emotions. This made the way for the creation and evolution of
greeting cards.
The tradition of giving and receiving greeting cards dates way
back in the 15th century. Without the advantage of modern
inventions and technologies, they were hand-delivered to the
respective bearers. These practice reached its peak in the 19th
century, the time it began its popularity. At this time, more
and more people started making cards by hand, that eventually
lead to companies having to mass produce these cards to keep up
with the demand.
In the 1800’s these cards were decorated with laces and ribbons,
most especially in England. By the middle of the same century,
these cards began to be made in factories built for that
purpose. And by the end of the century, they were being made
using machines. Pop-up cards were introduced and other things
that people could think of that can be made and put in cards.
Greeting cards continued its popularity up to the modern age,
with newer and more styles being created and developed. Mass
production of these cards was needed to be able to cope up with
the demand as these cards were being sent not only given
occasions. Creativity in greeting cards has also become a trend
and a challenge for printing companies. Styles are developed to
better enhance interest and boost their product.
With the graphic design and digital age, personalized greeting
cards came into the market. This technique made greeting cards
even more intimate and unique. People can create their own
prints according to styles they want to put themselves. From
images to digitally enhanced photos to three dimensional
animations. Companies are known to want seasonal greeting cards
in bulks to send to their employees.
Popularity of greeting cards in the masses puts printing
companies in a delicate position. Concepts and ideas needed to
be thought of and put into prints and designs to keep up with
the needs of people. Having online availability is the closest
thing is convenience made possible.
Greeting cards are just ways of showing emotions that people do
not get to show. Saying the right words is different for some.
These cards are the tools they use to express themselves. Even
the simplest could mean a lot.
