Folded Card Types
We offer several types of folded cards, from standard folded cards to specialty fold styles. Standard folded cards are scored once and folded in half. These are commonly used for greeting cards, holiday cards, thank you cards, announcements, and folded stationery. To learn more about other folded card types we offer, please see our other folded card articles:
Custom Folded Cards
We offer folded cards in many sizes up to a maximum flat size of 11" x 17". Custom scoring is also available.
If you need a custom folded size or custom score location, select Enter Size Manually next to the Size dropdown when available. Please include your custom score location in the order notes.
Score locations should be listed from the left edge of the final cut size. You will also need to specify whether your card should be:
Scored horizontally: scored across the width of the card
Scored vertically: scored from the top to the bottom of the card
For more information, see our Custom Sized Cards article [link].
Paper Options
Folded cards are available on most paper types. Some paper, size, and fold combinations may not be available due to production limitations.
The best paper depends on the product you are ordering. For example, greeting cards and wedding programs are often ordered on cover weight paper, while some folded inserts or lighter pieces may work better on text weight paper.
Minimum Quantities
Minimum quantities may vary depending on the size, paper, fold type, and product options selected. Once you select your folded card options, the available quantity options will appear in the ordering menu.
Foil Stamped Folded Cards
If you would like to order foil stamping on a folded card, please order through the Foil Stamped Folded Cards product category instead of the standard Folded Cards category.
