Fresh Frances creates greetings and gifts for all occasions from the biggest birthday to welcoming the newest child, from get well to saying hello. We have a full range of cards to celebrate all the holidays on the year’s calendar, too. Often incorporating vintage elements with witty charm, Fresh Frances has an energy that is timeless but as fresh and new as tomorrow! Sold throughout the country, you’ll find our items in fine specialty paper stores, independent bookstores, gourmet markets, and funky and fabulous boutiques. We love to hear our customers describe our warm and inviting designs as sassy, sweet, colorful and clever – and hope you find them that way, too!

Based in Chicago, Illinois, our products are proudly manufactured in the USA.

Get Green with Frances

Fresh Frances takes its responsibility to the environment seriously. The two main paper stocks that we use are either FSC-certified or 100% recycled. The stocks are produced in wind-powered and hydroelectric facilities. Depending upon the color, our envelopes that we use are also FSC-Certified or 100% recycled with post-consumer waste.

The inks that we use for printing are soy and vegetable-oil based.

Our cards, envelopes and jackets that protect the cards are completely recyclable. Our other paper products (list pads, recipe cards and gift tags) are completely recyclable, too.

At Fresh Frances, we re-use as many shipping boxes as possible, along with recycling all other paper scraps, ink, toner and other office supplies.
