            International Greetings Launches 'Little Britain' Ranges

           -Group wins Decade of Excellence Award at the AIM Awards-

International Greetings plc ('International Greetings' or 'the Group') (AIM:
IGR), the leading designer and manufacturer of private label greetings products,
wrapping paper and film and television character based licensed stationery,
announces today that it has launched a range of greetings and stationery
products based on characters from the award winning comedy series Little
Britain.

The Little Britain range reflects the Group's continued diversification into
products which appeal to teenage and student markets (in addition to its
extensive range of children's licences).

International Greetings has signed an initial two year licence for the UK
marketplace with Granada Ventures Limited, and Little Britain designed products
will be in shops for the busy Christmas season.

Commenting, Nick Fisher, joint chief executive of International Greetings said:
'Most of our licensed products are focussed at younger children, so it is
exciting for us to launch a new range which is geared towards the student and
teenage segments of the market. Little Britain is an extremely popular
programme, and has developed an enormous following. We believe there will be
strong demand for our products this Christmas and beyond.'

AIM Decade of Excellence Award

International Greetings is also pleased to announce that it won the Decade of
Excellence Award at the 10th Annual AIM Awards Dinner. Nick Fisher, joint chief
executive of the Group, collected the award on behalf of International Greetings
who received the award in recognition of an outstanding contribution to the
success of AIM since its launch in 1995.
