While UnforgottenCards.com does not accept freelance submissions, we are often asked about it so we have compiled this list of greeting card manufacturers who are believed to. We hope it will be a helpful resource to all of you talented people out there looking for work, and are the reason people like us have fantastic greeting cards to sell.

The companies on this list are believed to accept freelance submissions of greeting card designs and artwork but we can't guarantee the accuracy and the information is provided as is. Of course, we would like to make this resource as useful to you as possible so if you can provide additional information about these companies, their policy around accepting work or that the information listed has changed, we would certainly appreciate a heads up.

Do you know a great company that is not on this list?

Please, let us know and we will update this resource as soon as possible.
