Send a Card People Open and Keep
A folded notecard opens. Instead of a flat card with everything crowded onto one face, it scores down the middle into a two-panel card, so the front carries your logo, art, or a printed greeting, and the inside holds a real handwritten message. That inside is why people keep them. A set of 25 starts at $38.22, rated 5.0 out of 5 across 2 reviews, whether you are sending a thank-you after a sale, an invitation with the details tucked inside, or a personal note that ships with an order.
These cards do the work a flat card cannot. The fold gives you four surfaces instead of two, the score keeps the crease clean, and a matching envelope turns the whole thing into a set ready to mail.

The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 25 starts at $38.22, about $1.53 a card, and the per-card cost keeps sliding as the count climbs, so a full box for a season of thank-you notes costs far less per card than a quick test batch. Tap any tier below to see the live total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.
What Are Folded Notecards
Folded notecards are cards printed on a single sheet and scored down the middle so they fold into a two-panel card, printed full color in 3 fold sizes on any of 12 materials. People reach for them when a message needs an inside: thank-you notes, invitations, personal correspondence, appointment or moving announcements, and branded notes tucked into shipped orders. Because the card opens, the front can stay clean and graphic while the inside carries the words. If you want the version that keeps everything on one face instead, the Flat Notecards cover that, and the folded card sits right beside it as the one with room to write.
Notecards for artists and makers
A folded notecard is the cheapest way to sell your work as a physical object, and the stock decides whether it reads as a print or as a flyer. The 14pt and 18pt white linen carry a woven surface texture that suits drawings, watercolor and anything with visible paper character, with the 18pt giving the heavier card in the hand. The metallic pearl stocks, in ice, champagne, silver and gold, put a sheen under the ink, which works for artwork with metallic passages, night scenes or gold leaf in the original.
Runs start at 25, so you can print one image, see how it sells at a market or a show, and reprint only what moves. Choose full color on both sides and the back carries the title, the year, the medium and your name and site as a credit line, the same way a gallery card does. Choose the blank or black back instead if you would rather sign each one by hand. Cards are scored before they ship, so the fold sits clean through the fibre of the linen instead of cracking the printed face.
What Size Should a Folded Notecard Be
The right size comes down to how much you want to say and how you plan to send it. The default 8.5" x 5.5" folds to a 4.25" x 5.5" finished card, the classic notecard that slips into a standard envelope. Step up to 10" x 7" folding to 5" x 7" for more room for art or a longer note, closer to a small greeting card. Or go 12" x 6" folding into a clean 6" x 6" square when you want the card to stand out on a desk or a gift table. All 3 fold sizes, both finishes and the full material list are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.
Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. Each blank folded notecard template is built at the real trim size with the fold, the 1/8" bleed and the safe margin already drawn in, so your design folds where it should and never crowds the cut. Grab the size that matches your order below, drop your art in, and upload.

How Much Do Folded Notecards Cost
Folded notecards start at $38.22 per set of 25, about $1.53 a card, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 100,000, so a cheaper card really comes down to how big a run you order. A 700-card run is $259.66 and 6,000 cards run $651.11, with 41 quantity tiers in between. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-card cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.
Are Folded Notecards Scored, and Can You Get Envelopes
Yes on both. Every folded notecard is scored first, a pressed crease that lets even a thick 18pt material fold flat and clean without the printed color cracking along the edge. From there it is your call. Take them scored and shipped flat if you would rather fold as you write, or have them pre-folded to the finished size so they arrive ready to send. Add matching white wove envelopes and the note and envelope ship together as a set. And before anything prints, you can go straight to production, approve a free online proof, or order a next-day hardcopy proof to check the color in your own hands.
What people send folded notecards for
The inside panel is what decides the job. Anything that needs a written line rather than a printed one belongs on a folded card.
- Thank you notes. Logo or a printed greeting on the front, the inside left clear for a handwritten message, which is why a client keeps it on the desk instead of filing it.
- Gallery and art cards. The artwork on the front, the title and credit on the back, sold singly or boxed as a set from a run of 25.
- Invitations. The 12" x 6" that folds to a 6" x 6" square gives the front for the event and the inside for the date, time, address and the reply line, and it goes out in a matching white wove envelope.
- Holiday greetings. Printed full color front, blank inside for the signature, sent to a customer list without the card reading as a mailer.
Sending them by post means the envelope is part of the job. Matching white wove envelopes are optional on this product, and if you need a printed return address or a larger run of stationery to go with the cards, see printed envelopes or, for the invitation sizes, invitation envelopes.
How Do Folded Notecards Compare to the Rest of the Range
Folded notecards are the pick when a message deserves an inside panel, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing the flat version, a thank-you card or a folded invitation, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up folded notecards against their closest siblings, like the Folded Thank You Cards and Folded Invitations, so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.
How Fast Can You Get Folded Notecards
Folded notecards print on a 5 business day standard turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to 4-day, 3-day, 2-day, Next-Day or even Same-Day production out of the NYC plant. Each step buys back time for a set amount on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Same-Day orders need to be approved by the daily cutoff to ship that day, and across every order 99.8% of 4OVER4 jobs arrive on time with 82% shipping early. Compare every turnaround tier in the configurator and see exactly what the rush adds before you pick.

Flat Size and Folded Size Side by Side
Three fold sizes, and the number you order by is the flat sheet, not the card you end up holding. Here is how the two line up.
| Flat size | Folds to | What it suits |
|---|---|---|
| 8.5" x 5.5" | 4.25" x 5.5" | The default notecard, the one that slips into a standard envelope |
| 10" x 7" | 5" x 7" | More room for art or a longer note, closer to a small greeting card |
| 12" x 6" | 6" x 6" | A square that stands out on a desk or a gift table |
All three are scored before they ship, so the crease folds clean even on the 18pt materials, and you choose whether they arrive flat or pre folded.
Folded Notecards: Frequently Asked Questions
What does a set of folded notecards cost?
Twenty five cards start at $38.22, about $1.53 each. The per-card price drops as the run climbs, with tiers reaching 100,000.
What size are the cards once folded?
There are 3 fold sizes. The smallest is an 8.5 by 5.5 inch sheet that folds to 4.25 by 5.5 inches, and the largest is a 12 by 6 inch sheet that folds into a 6 inch square.
Do they arrive flat or already folded?
You choose. The cards can ship flat or pre-folded, and Scoring keeps the crease clean either way so the fold breaks along one straight line rather than wandering.
Which stock should I choose if people will handwrite inside?
Pick an uncoated, cream or linen stock rather than a gloss face or a High-Gloss UV Coating. Coated surfaces are made for press ink, so an uncoated inside panel is the better match for a pen.
How many materials are there?
Twelve, including gloss and uncoated covers, 30 percent and 100 percent recycled, cream shades, 14pt and 18pt white linen, and metallic pearl in ice, champagne, silver and gold.
Are envelopes available, and how fast can they print?
Matching white wove envelopes are optional in the same order, and bundling lets you set how many cards go in each stack. The standard turnaround is 5 business days, with rush speeds down to same day.
Where do you write on a folded note card?
The inside is the writing surface. The front carries the logo, the artwork or a printed greeting, and the inside panels are left clear for a handwritten message, which is the reason a card gets kept rather than filed. If you print 4/4, full color on both sides, the back can carry a credit line or your details. Every card is scored down the middle first, so the crease sits clean and the printed color does not crack along the fold.
What is a folding card?
It is a card printed on one sheet and scored down the middle so it folds into two panels. That gives you four surfaces instead of the two a flat card has, with the front for the design and the inside for the message. There are 3 fold sizes here, from an 8.5" x 5.5" sheet that folds to 4.25" x 5.5" up to a 12" x 6" that folds into a 6" x 6" square, and matching white wove envelopes are optional on any of them.
