About Us

Australian Christmas Cards is part of the Renton family group of businesses and was founded in 1964. Thousands of businesses now trust Australian Christmas Cards for personalised Christmas cards for business, corporate birthday cards, custom cards and related products in Australia and New Zealand as well as other parts of the world.

Back in 1964, the founder, Jack Renton, began importing stickers for accounts as a replacement for collection letters. Jack’s wife, Patience, assisted him in the marketing and processing of orders in the early years. Later, Jack’s customers requested stickers to thank their customers, especially at Christmas time. In 1976, the first Christmas sticker was designed.

Later on, Christmas cards were requested and these were first sold around 1988. At the same time, Jack’s son, Peter Renton took over the family business. In 1991, Peter embarked on an ambitious but successful project to sell collection stickers, Christmas stickers and personalized Christmas cards to Americans. Jack’s eldest son, Ian Renton, took over the running of the family business. In 1994, Jack’s daughter, Robyn Renton, joined the family business.

In 1988, we first sold these products in New Zealand. There are now over 1,000 businesses in New Zealand benefiting from these products. In 1998, we began selling Christmas cards to New Zealand businesses... again it was because they demanded a high quality product at a fair price for their clients.

Under Ian Renton’s leadership, the sales of personalised Christmas cards for business continued to skyrocket so the trading name, Australian Christmas Cards, was registered in 2002.

Now, Australian Christmas Cards specialises in helping your business and thousands of others retain their customers and increase their repeat sales through the use of thank you stickers, Christmas stickers, Christmas cards, birthday cards and more. Customer retention is where the money is and profits from retained customers are used to fund customer acquisition and growth.

Many of these products are personalised with company names, logos and even photos added to Christmas stickers, Christmas cards, birthday cards and calendars. To cater for so many personalised products, we introduced two more trading names. Renton’s Printing was formed in 2004 to also help you with personalised printing needs such as business cards, brochures, booklets, invoice books and much more. In 2009, Renton’s Labels was formed to help you with all of your custom labels requirements.

In 1974, the company Renton Management Services Pty Ltd, ABN 17 001 307 900 was formed. The owner is Ian Renton and the company trades under the names Australian Christmas Cards, Australian Credit Stationers, Renton’s Printing and Renton’s Labels.
