A method for creating a standard type greeting card constructed of standard paper stock which in addition to delivering written text and artwork to the recipient, can also deliver a physical hug to the recipient as the surrogate of the sender, the process comprising the steps of selecting a paper stock that can accept and retain written text and/or artwork and which will, when held in a coiled position for a length of time, assume a coil-biased condition that will gently resist unraveling, and when initially unraveled, will bias back towards the coiled condition; adding printing and artwork as desired to the paper stock while that stock is in its flat condition; cutting the stock into the overall desired shape of the greeting card; rolling the now cut paper stock greeting card into a scroll-type configuration; and inserting the scrolled card into a tubular container that can also be used as the shipping container for the card, such that the container becomes part of the manufacturing process by which the desired resultant greeting card is produced. The resultant greeting card thus conveys not only the sentiment contained in the words and artwork on the paper card, but also a physical hug from the sender.
