Our full range of Merry-go-round cards is still available through stores
and here online. The cards include georgous artwork from six well known Australian
children's book illustrators: Ann James, Patricia Mullins,
Shirley Barber, Roland Harvey, Shaun Tan and Stephen Michael King. Thank you to all our artists, for
your thoughts and contributions.
Merry-go-round greeting cards have slits cut inside the card allowing
it to hold your message on a separate slip of paper.
The person who gets the card can replace the slip of paper with their
own and send the card on with a new message. Each card has a refill and
instructions.

The environment
Recycle, re-use, re-use, re-use...
100% of the paper fibres used in Merry-go-round cards come from post
consumer waste.
Additionally, the card stock is manufactured with the following initiatives:
• Process Chlorine Free (PCF) - no environmentally damaging chemicals
are used in the bleaching process.
• Waste water used in production is recycled and returned to its
source cleaner than it arrived.
• Energy used in production comes only from natural gas.
• Waste generated from the recycling and manufacturing process is
used to create a wide range of products including fertiliser, cement and
energy.
• Our office runs on 100% wind power and the latest range of cards was printed waterless offset with non genetically modified soy ink by a carbon neutral printer.
The artists
Merry-go-round invited a close community of artists to submit images inspired by the concept of 'earth-love'.
