The company began as a printer of birth and marriage certificates.

Gibson has four brands under its umbrella: Markings journals, photo books and stationery; Tapestry scrapbooking and craft products; Creative Papers fine stationery and iota stationery and gifting essentials.

OTHER STATIONERY COMPANIES MARKING ANNIVERSARIES:

• Nobleworks Turns 30. Nobleworks, known as “The Humor Company,” turns 30. The company made its debut at the NSS in 1980. Founded by Christopher Noble and Jay Purvis, Nobleworks continues to keep customers laughing under the leadership of Ron Kanfi.
