About us

At Nelson Line, we believe great design has the power to connect people. Since our founding, we’ve been passionate about bringing bold, creative, and intelligent paper goods to the North American market—products that spark a smile, start a conversation, or say exactly what words alone cannot.

We are proud to publish and distribute a curated collection of greeting cards, gift wrap, and stationery from some of the UK’s most exciting independent publishers, including Woodmansterne, James Ellis, Ustudio, Earlybird, and more. We’re also the exclusive U.S. licensee for The New Yorker collection of cards and gift items—a line that captures wit, sophistication, and timeless humor in true New Yorker fashion.

Nelson Line is now part of a larger family that includes Calypso Cards, expanding our reach and strengthening our relationships with retailers and creative partners alike. Together, we remain committed to championing thoughtful design, supporting independent artists, and helping our retail customers surprise and delight their shoppers—one card at a time.
