About us

Our main area of expertise that sets us apart from our competitors is our extensive experience of the whole manufacturing process involved in the Greeting card industry, from initial artwork to final packaged product.

A view inside the Quartet packing facility

With this experience we are able to identify potential problems before they occur and offer solutions before they can cause disruption to the time sensitive critical path.

As a key supplier to our business, Quartet provide an extremely reliable hand packing service in terms of both quality of work and on time delivery, backed up by friendly staff who go out of their way to accommodate our needs

A short history of Quartet
  • 1998 - Formation of Quartet by Trevor & Sylvia as a result of their inability to source reliable cost effective packing solutions for a client
  • 1999 - Quartet take on 4000 sq ft. premises in Southend on Sea to provide bespoke contract packing for this client
  • 2000 - Nick joins Quartet and provides structure & administration as we are now providing a service to many of the top Greetings card publishers & printers
  • 2003 - After steady & sustained growth, Quartet starts to feel under pressure from Far East & Eastern Europe competition and decides to relocate to accommodate its core customers who are based in the Midlands and North of England
  • 2004 - Quartet move into their current premises in Barnsley and start to establish themselves in the area
  • 2007 - With the move well and truly behind us we are now operating at nearly double the capacity we had in Southend on sea. The profile of the business has now changed from heavily seasonal to more streamlined everyday products
