A Century of American Connection

American Greetings was founded in 1906 in Cleveland, Ohio by Jacob Sapirstein, a Polish immigrant who sold postcards from a horse-drawn wagon. The company grew through the 20th century by understanding that Americans want to mark the moments of their lives — birthdays, graduations, weddings, bereavements — with a physical object that someone selected and sent.

The Westlake, Ohio headquarters has been the company's home for decades. American Greetings went private in 2013 after nearly a century as a publicly traded company, returning control to the Weiss family (descendants of the founder) who have maintained domestic manufacturing as part of the brand's core identity.

American Manufacturing at Scale

American Greetings prints millions of cards annually at US facilities. The scale of production requires significant capital investment in printing presses, paper handling equipment, and quality control systems. Maintaining domestic printing facilities rather than offshoring production represents an ongoing commitment to US manufacturing that the company has sustained through the transition to digital communication.

The card printing operation involves paper selection, color management, finishing treatments (embossing, foil, die-cutting), and envelope coordination across thousands of SKUs. The technical complexity of maintaining quality consistency across this breadth of product is a manufacturing challenge that American Greetings' domestic operations have refined over more than a century.

The Endurance of Physical Cards

American Greetings has operated through multiple predicted disruptions: email, e-cards, social media birthday notifications. The physical greeting card market has proven more resilient than predicted — not because people are unsophisticated about digital alternatives, but because a physical card selected, signed, and mailed by another person carries emotional weight that a notification cannot.

The company has also adapted, developing digital platforms alongside physical products and expanding into gift wrap and party supplies. But the core product — a card made in America, printed on paper, sent through the mail — remains the business foundation that has supported the company for 120 years.
