GENERAL INFORMATION

Can I use Hallmark's work and designs on my own products?

We are delighted that our consumers enjoy our products and are flattered by requests to copy them, but it is important that we retain exclusive rights to the creations of our artists and writers. As a result, Hallmark does not grant permission to use any of our copyrighted images or writings. We do license some of our designs to other manufacturers in the apparel, domestics and table top industries. For example, you may see our copyright mark on designed boxes of tissues or on kitchenware. Our Maxine character is beginning to appear on a variety of products. And favourite characters from other creators - such as Winnie the Pooh, Peanuts, Barbie, or Disney characters - are used on Hallmark products.

Can you tell me in what year a greeting card was manufactured?

Hallmark can provide that information if evidence is required for a legal court case. The inquiry must be submitted on a lawyer's letterhead and sent to Hallmark Canada Customer Care at the address below. An explanation of why this information is considered necessary court evidence must be provided.

I would like to receive a Hallmark Datebook.

Please visit a Hallmark retail store the weekend of Ornament Debut (the second weekend of October). Datebooks become available at this time in most participating Hallmark retail stores.

Where can I find a refill for my Hallmark pen?

Hallmark discontinued making writing instruments (pens and pencils) and the ink refills in 1993; however, Cross refills can be used along with a plastic adapter in Hallmark ball point pens. We can send you an adapter free of charge. Just email us at canadacustomerservice@hallmark.com. Include your mailing address and 'request for pen adapter.'

Once you receive your pen adapter:
  • Remove the cap from your Hallmark ballpoint pen.
  • Unscrew, remove and discard the empty ink cartridge.
  • Slide the refill point inside the un-threaded end of the plastic adapter.
  • Insert the refill into your ballpoint pen and turn until point emerges from tip of pen.
  • Replace cap.
Reminder: The next time you refill your pen, be sure to remove the black plastic adapter and reuse it with your new refill. It can be used again and again.

KEEPSAKE ORNAMENTS

Where can I locate older ornaments?

Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments are initially available only through retailers who offer Hallmark products. Keepsake Ornaments from previous years are not available from Hallmark. There are, however, countless collectors who buy, sell and trade ornaments and collectibles through a secondary market. You can also find out about buying Hallmark collectibles by networking with other collectors, asking your local retailer for recommendations, searching the Internet, reading classified ads, or checking local antique malls or flea markets that include collectibles. Secondary market dealers are independent and we cannot guarantee the service or pricing policies they offer.
