This year, Vervante celebrates 25 years in business. That number means more to us than longevity. It represents thousands of conversations, countless products brought to life, and a quarter century of helping ideas move from inspiration to something you can hold in your hands.
Vervante was founded with a simple belief. Printing should support creators, not limit them. From the beginning, our focus has been on listening first, understanding what our customers are trying to deliver, and then helping them create products that feel thoughtful, intentional, and well-made.
Over the years, printing has changed dramatically. Technology has evolved. Sales channels have shifted. Expectations are higher. What hasn’t changed is our commitment to craftsmanship and care. Every planner, journal, workbook, card deck, or book we produce still matters. Each one represents someone’s work, message, or livelihood, and we take that responsibility seriously.
What has made these 25 years possible is people. Our team. Our customers. The long-term relationships are built on trust, honesty, and showing up when it matters. Many of our customers are first-time creators. Others have been with us for years as their businesses have grown. In both cases, our role is the same. Be a steady, knowledgeable partner who helps bring ideas to life without unnecessary barriers.
We’ve always believed that how something is made matters. Printing, finishing, warehousing, and fulfillment all happen under one roof in Utah, allowing us to move faster from print to your customer and maintain tight control over quality. We print in small batches or large runs, ship directly to your buyers, and help creators sell on their own platforms without being boxed into a single solution.
As we look ahead, our focus remains the same. Thoughtful growth. Smart investment. Tools and technology that support our team and improve the customer experience, without losing the human touch that defines who we are. We’re here to help creators do meaningful work and put it into the world with confidence.
Twenty-five years is a milestone worth pausing for. We’re proud of what we’ve built, deeply grateful for the people who have trusted us along the way, and genuinely excited about what’s next.
The best part of the story is still being written.
Coaches, authors, speakers, and educators love card decks because they create a daily, hands-on experience with their message. A deck turns ideas into something people can touch, use, and return to again and again.
Prompts.
Affirmations.
Exercises.
Teaching tools.
A card deck brings your content to life in a simple, powerful way.
You Are Not Limited to Rectangles
Most people picture a traditional rectangular card deck. That works beautifully. But it is not your only option.
We can print cards in unique shapes, including circles and other custom formats. A different shape immediately makes your deck stand out. It adds personality. It sparks curiosity. It makes your product feel more like a keepsake than just a stack of cards.
Round cards are especially popular for affirmation decks, oracle-style products, and pocket-sized inspiration sets. Customers love the experience of opening the tin and pulling out something unexpected.
We created a short video that walks through these shape options and shows real examples so you can see what is possible.
If you are considering a round deck, we have a sample available so you can see and feel the quality for yourself. Holding the product in your hands makes all the difference when you are deciding on size, shape, and packaging.
If you have been thinking about creating a deck, this is a fun way to make your product stand out from the crowd. A unique shape can elevate the entire experience and reinforce your brand in a subtle but powerful way.
If you would like to brainstorm ideas, schedule a phone appointment with us or email [email protected]. We are always happy to talk through options and help you create something truly special.
If you’ve been selling printed products for any length of time, you may have noticed that Amazon doesn’t work the way it used to, especially when it comes to books. Over the past year, Amazon has made quiet but significant changes that affect how new products can be listed on its marketplace.
We want to clearly explain what’s changed, what’s still allowed, and how creators can move forward.
Amazon Is No Longer Allowing New Book Listings in the Books Category
Amazon has changed how they manage theBooks categoryon its marketplace. At this time, new titles cannot be added to the Books category through Amazon Marketplace.
This applies regardless of binding type, print-on-demand vs. products in inventory, or the seller history or longevity.
This is not a temporary error or a missing approval step. Amazon has tightened control over book listings and now limits how new books are introduced to the platform.
Why This Is Happening: Amazon is increasingly directing books into Amazon-controlled publishing programs rather than allowing third-party marketplace listings. While this shift hasn’t been clearly announced, it has affected many established sellers and publishers. Even companies that have sold on Amazon for decades are seeing the same restriction.
What This Means for Print-on-Demand Books: Vervante offers true print-on-demand, meaning books can be printed and shipped one at a time as orders come in. However, even with print-on-demand, Amazon is not approving new book listings in the Books category through Marketplace. If Amazon were allowing new book listings, print-on-demand would work just fine. The limitation is Amazon’s category policy, not the printing or fulfillment model.
What Products Can Still Be Listed on Amazon: While books are restricted, Amazon still allows certain non-book products to be listed in other categories. Currently:
Planners and Journals may be listed in the Office Products category
Card decks may be listed in the Games category
These categories are not always an ideal fit, but they are the only options Amazon currently allows for these product types on the Amazon Marketplace. Because category placement affects discoverability and search behavior, we always want customers to understand the tradeoffs before choosing this route.
Why Amazon Should Be a Secondary Sales Channel: Amazon policies change frequently and without much notice. For that reason, we encourage creators to think of Amazon as a secondary sales channel, not the foundation of their business. Many authors and creators are shifting their focus to channels where they have more control, including branding and presentation, customer data and email lists, and long-term business growth.
Where Creators Are Selling Instead: We’re seeing strong results for customers selling through direct sales and landing pages, online marketplaces like Etsy, TikTok Shop, and Faire, and event-based sales.
Our Commitment to Clear, Honest Guidance: We’ve sold products on Amazon for 25 years and continue to monitor their policies closely. If Amazon reopens access to the Books category or expands how products can be listed, we’ll revisit these options and update you. In the meantime, we believe transparency matters. Our goal is to help you understand what’s possible today so you can make informed decisions about where and how to sell your products.
If you have questions about print-on-demand, fulfillment, or alternative sales channels, we’re always happy to help.
