Custom Greeting Cards: Flat or Folded, and What to Know About Envelopes

Custom Greeting Cards cover a lot of ground — thank-yous, holiday mailings, invitations, announcements, the kind of message that lands better on cardstock than in a text. Before you order, there are two things worth understanding: format and envelopes.

Flat or folded

Flat cards print on one panel, front and back — simple, and a good fit for postcard-style greetings or announcements. Folded cards open like a traditional card, giving you a front design plus room for a personal message inside. Both are printed on durable 14pt coated cardstock for vibrant colour and a crisp finish.

About envelopes

Envelopes aren't automatically bundled in — the default option is none, so if you want your cards ready to seal and send, add plain white envelopes (or printed full-colour envelopes for a more finished look) when you place your order. It's a quick add, just don't assume it's already in the box.

Choosing by occasion

Flat cards tend to work well for business promotions, event invites, and quick announcements where you want the message visible right away. Folded cards suit anything more personal — holiday wishes, thank-yous, celebrations — where the inside message matters as much as the cover.
