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.

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.

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.
