Over the past 30 years, we have published a vast amount of product. Test! Test! Test! We test all of our product before they go on general release. We, therefore, need squillions and gazillions of new ideas and material on a daily basis!

What sort of jokes do we buy?

We specialise in 'humour' and 'words' so we try to publish cards that are both contemporary and topical, for instance a recent trend or a saying, or an item on the market, political situation etc. Not forgetting good old jokes about getting OLDER and enjoying a DRINK, etc.

Although some topics and language used on our cards may be considered strong, we would not consider or want to publish material that is overtly sexually prejudiced, homophobic or racist. We would not publish material which refers to sensitive subjects such as child abuse, incest or disabilities.

If we're talking rude cards, we can adapt any ideas that include unsuitable words to make them more commercial - we love a good *#@! word, but unfortunately, our trade customers do not! So, in other words, you can use swear words and where it's appropriate, we will change them. However, if the swear word is at the heart of the joke, you may have to consider re-writing it.

We endeavour to cater for all tastes. As we are featured on the high street, supermarkets and online, we have to bear in mind their stricter guidelines in terms of acceptable product and work out a balance of stronger vs not so strong titles accordingly.

I want to send in some artwork for consideration or a style sheet of my latest works.

We always like to keep our ranges like Face Ache looking fabulous and fresh! Sprucing here and there means we're always considering artwork styles, especially for new ranges. We LOVE seeing new range concepts, whether they be characters, text, or photographic - we're open to anything!

If you would like to send us some artwork variations on a style sheet, we will take a peek and keep them on file.
