Shoebox Greetings

I am trying to find the origin of a birthday card from SHOEBOX GREETINGS (A tiny division of Hallmark) On the back of the card are two bar codes with the numbers 0705210 3 below all the left hand and 02,578 numbers above the right hand together. Also the number 125ZB 257-8 are below the bar code and above Hallmark, Inc. Copyright.

the card reads off:

The day of your birthday
I want to tell you
I like both
we share together -

time to laugh,
fun times -

And inside the card reads:

time to speak
hand in hand
time

both quiet
both soft -
all time


I found this card addressed to my spouse, but not dated, and the need to know the times in which it was produced. Was this the period 1990-1995, 1996-2000, 2000-2005?

I do not know where to get the answer. I have a certain direction, I would appreciate it. Thank you

I suspected as much when I saw the title of your the reason why was because it was something you found addressed to your spouse ...

Hallmark appeal. The numbers on the back, not under the barcode, batch numbers are. They can tell you which institution it was printed on the inside and when it came out. What they can tell you is how long it has been sold before suppliers, took off their shelves and replaced, but the cards shipped by them are generally very good for one year.
