                                 Trading Update 
 
 
International Greetings PLC, one of the world's leading designers, innovators 
and manufacturers of gift wrap, crackers, cards, stationery and accessories, 
announces the following trading update. 
 
Sales in the first half year to 30th September 2010 have grown, in line with 
market expectations. 
 
Our portfolio of licences continues to provide considerable commercial appeal 
and as anticipated Toy Story 3 licensed products proved to be extremely 
successful. 
 
Everyday greeting card sales have grown significantly during the period, largely 
as a result of commencing trading with two of the UK's leading multiple grocery 
chains. 
 
The Group continues to focus on improving efficiencies across its factories and 
increasing sales across the international markets in which it operates. 
 
Management's focus on debt reduction continues. Notwithstanding the Group's debt 
tends to peak at the end of September each year, Group debt was down 14.6% to 
GBP86.4 million from GBP101.2m million at 30th September 2009. 
 
The Board remains confident that the Group is well positioned for future growth. 
 
International Greetings will be releasing its interim results for the half year 
to 30th September 2010 on 8th December 2010.
