Welcome to the newly launched Festive website!

We have designed this website with you, our customers in mind to help you with your Christmas ranges from developing the themes, deciding on the pantones to eventually selecting the products. Through this new, interactive website, you will be able to view our complete ranges, check out the competitive pricing and then place an order.

• The Company

  We embody over 50 years of design, innovation and experience within the seasonal decorative industry. As market leaders our goal is to "Provide customers with an experience that is distinctively different in terms of product offering and professional service"

• Design

  We are a design led company, offering a diverse collection of products which are unique and different. Our team of designers continually develop new collections inline with market trends and customer design briefs. We work closely with our major customers to develop their own bespoke product and provide advice and guidance on future product ranges. Extensive global and national research is continually performed by the team to create the exclusive product offering, which sets us apart from our competitors.

• Products

  During our history, Festive has increased the product portfolio to include nearly every conceivable Christmas decoration category. From ornate glass baubles, shatterproof baubles, tinsel garlands, wreaths, lights, fibre optic trees and artificial trees to name but a few. The product range is chosen and designed to evolve within this dynamic industry.

• Marketing

  To assist our customers in marketing these products we have our own graphic design department, which innovates, develops and produces own label and branded packaging. As well as this we offer the best product catalogues in the industry, covering all aspects of Christmas. To assist us in selling our vast product range, we have developed excellent showrooms in the UK, Scandinavia and China which effectively offer a 'one-stop shop' for Christmas.

• Sourcing

  We pride ourselves on our vast experience of global procurement, which has been gained over many years of pioneering and seeking new opportunities of supply. We constantly travel the world to identify and source the most innovative products for our customers.

• Customer Service

  We have always held commercial awareness as one of our strongest assets in developing long lasting relationships with our customers. We understand that if our customers are successful, we are successful. To assist our customers in procuring the right product ranges, we have a well-trained and professional sales team based both in the UK, Scandinavia and the Far East who are commercially aware of the market and can advise on products our customers accordingly.

Festive began tinsel manufacturing in Wales over 25 years ago, out of a small 10,000 sq ft factory in Cwmbran. Two state of the art tinsel machines were imported from Germany and production began in earnest. It was not long before the order book began to fill following successful marketing strategies and trade shows. The capacity of £25k was soon achieved and both the tinsel business and Festive have developed and expanded since those early days. We are now producing almost £3m worth of tinsel from 20 machines equating to 10% of total sales. Festive has evolved into a one stop shop for all things Christmas!

The product category is however very close to our hearts and we are proud of our heritage and of being one of the few remaining manufacturers of Christmas product in Europe. Festive employs in excess of 100 people in the production unit at peak season and with 24 hour shift patterns, almost 80,000 metres of tinsel is produced on a daily basis and indeed, at the end of the year Festive have calculated that enough tinsel has been produced to go around the world and back several times!

Our ability to produce a first class quality product which does not suffer up to eight weeks being packed flat in the heat and shipped from China in containers is why we are successful. Festive are also able to reproduce all core and fashion colours because much of the raw material used to produce the tinsel originates from Europe and can easily be cross-matched to colour pantones. It becomes possible to then 'theme' these individual products into a complete range.

It is also evident within the market place that customers require the full range of specification from the basic to sophistication. We are trend setters within the Christmas industry as we understand it is about fashion and contemporary colour schemes. We also recognise that the consumer wants a quality product that has synergy with their interior décor. Price is no longer the driving force for the discerning buyer - much more important is quality and a saleable product.

Festive's tinsel sales are continuing to grow from strength to strength. More top retailers recognise the poor quality tinsel from China and have identified our product to be superior with the certain knowledge that the best tinsel in the world is made in Wales.
