In 1994, Collector's Gallery was purchased by Warwick Publishing Co., a family-owned company in its fourth generation of management. Our company philosophy embraces our customers and reps as part of the Collector's Gallery family. Our customers are not just commodities, they are the reason we are a company. Rob and Jim Paschal, owners of Collector's Gallery, support every effort to get the job done for our customers.
Collector's Gallery was originally designed as a line of ""gallery"" quality stationary, stickers, note cards and gift-wrap. From the beginning, Collector's Gallery has been a design-driven line. By listening to the needs of our customers, the company has evolved into two very successful divisions: photo and packaging. It is important to note that our products are manufactured here in the United States, which allows us to guarantee the integrity and quality of our products to the consumer.
Within our Photo division, the most recognized product is our line of Portrait Folders, Folios & Frames designed to accommodate a variety of print sizes in horizontal or vertical orientations. Although our Photo products have traditionally excelled with retailers who offer photo finishing, the line has made a successful transition into the event and digital market over the course of the last few years.
Photo Cards such as our Simplicity line are Acid-Free & archival quality plain paper photo frame style cards! With 15 modern and classic colors, you'll find one perfect for your picture! Holiday border designs are still available, some embellished with foil accents. A large number of our Holiday Photo Cards include interior artwork. Collector's Gallery also manufactures and stocks over 30 patterns of transparent cellophane party bags, which we call ""Sell-O"" bags. Every Sell-O bag pattern is available in four sizes, while some designs are offered in six.
We offer unique product that allows an opportunity to truly service our customer's needs. For instance, the ability to customize our product with an imprint allows you to offer both a service and a personal touch that cannot be matched. We offer low minimum for personalization.
In addition to our standard product offering, we also offer full-service custom work. By combining custom print runs with our own product runs, we control each step in the manufacturing process from design development by our on-site art department through the printing and assembly process. Our customers are assured they have received quality product at competitive prices.
We launched www.studiostyle.com at the end of 2000 and our dedicated web design team works daily to add new product, new features and create a better web experience. Our existing wholesale customers are assigned an exclusive ID and PIN number, which allow them to view our secure retailer module. Once logged on, they are able to view our entire product line, review their order history, place orders online and track their orders.
To stay focused on where we are going in the marketplace, we stay focused on our customers. They keep us fresh and creative, and we are always striving to create better products for them. The only people who can tell you what you are doing right or wrong are the people that are buying your products. We have an incredible customer-service department that continually brings customer requests to our attention. We have an incredibly talented art department that designs new product concepts all year long.
In late 2006, we launched online customization enabling customers to upload artwork and personalization. In 2007 we announced the addition of custom photo cards. Unlike traditional pocket-style insert cards, these custom cards feature your photo and text and are printed in-house by our art department on foldover or flat style cards.
2008 brought a new buzz to our product offering. Now you can order custom event folders, calendars, calendar cards, digital tri-fold cards, beach towels, golf towels and golf cards. But wait that's not all... keep your eyes peeled there will be more shortly. We are always changing and updating our offerings for our customers.
