our products 
north + south is an established wholesale distributor of quality greeting cards and stationery. We bring variety to the Canadian greeting card market by sourcing unique products from top designers in Europe.

We carry a spectrum of everyday greeting card designs to appeal to diverse tastes—from traditional and heartfelt to trendy and humorous*, from simple and colourful to sophisticated and exquisite. Our seasonal offerings include cards for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day  and Father's Day.

Our products are created to a high standard. Quality methods and materials are used in the printing processes, and many cards have specialty effects and delicate hand finishing. The majority of our products are also eco-friendly. Regular global research ensures our collections reflect new talent and emerging trends, bringing retailers the latest in greeting card design.

Retailers and professional buyers are invited to log in (registration required) and view the north + south collections.

* Contemporary humour may include risqué themes. Some love them, some hate them. We respect both views and do not intend to offend anyone.

 

our story 
Founded in 2007, north + south is owned by Liz Lunse, supported by sales agents and business associates across Canada and in Europe.

Liz hails from Scotland and lived in South Africa for many years before moving to Canada. She has had an extensive career sourcing products from around the world for small boutiques and large department stores, and brings to the business a keen eye for quality design, an ability to recognise emerging trends, and a deep understanding of buyers’ needs.

My late husband, Michael, honed his organisation and technical skills through a long career in the telecommunications industry. He developed the systems to keep the business moving smoothly and efficiently. 

Our business philosophy is simple and straightforward—look after what matters most: customers, suppliers, and sales agents. We work hard to facilitate sales and communications with new technologies while keeping a personal touch.
