The Art File is an independent publisher focused on greeting cards, wrap, stationery, and gifts. Founded in 1997 and based in Nottingham, England, it serves a global network of design-driven retailers, ranging from leading high-street brands to numerous independent stores. The company relies on an in-house design team alongside freelance designers to develop its collections, including licensed lines such as Sara Miller London, English Heritage, Robert Reader, and Kate Heiss. It places sustainability at the core of its operations, sourcing greeting cards, gift bags, and gift wrap from sustainable suppliers, and printing cards in the UK. All cards are offered plastic-free as standard, and boxed cards come in recyclable cardboard. In 2024, The Art File partnered with Ecologi to support tree planting worldwide. A recent development includes the collaboration with Gibsons Consulting to create 1000-piece portrait jigsaws, illustrating a broader product range beyond cards.
