Carte Blanche Powers Up With Saban Brands For New Range Of Products

Carte Blanche Group has announced two exciting new licensing deals with Saban Brands!


Following the phenomenal success of its 3D lenticular cards, Carte Blanche leverages its position as the UK's leading independently owned greetings card publisher to strike a deal with Saban Brands to produce a range of eye popping new products around two of its iconic properties, "Power Rangers" and "Paul Frank".

Saban Brands' UK Commercial Director, Tim Juckes comments, "We are excited to see this iconic series brought to life through 3D cards and will be launching with the new Power Rangers Dino Charge theme."

Carte Blanche will also be launching a range of fashion and lifestyle led greeting cards representing the globally recognised, pop-culture inspired "Paul Frank" brand.

Carte Blanche Founder & Chairman, Stephen Haines, comments: "The origins of Paul Frank, which was born in 1995 out of a garage in a Southern California beach town, really captured my imagination. Our design studio is looking forward to unveiling their creative concepts around this inspiring lifestyle brand at PG Live this June."

Saban's "Power Rangers" and "Paul Frank" adds a powerful new dynamic to the already strong Carte Blanche Greetings portfolio, with the launch to include a variety of innovative greeting cards and gift bag concepts which will reach retail in the UK and Eire later this year.

In additional "Power Rangers" news, Lionsgate has pushed back the US theatrical release date for their upcoming "Power Rangers" movie by six months to from Friday 22nd July 2016 to Friday 13th January 2017. No explanation from the filmmakers
