Parts of a greeting card
A greeting card is one sheet folded in half: outside back and front, and two inside pages. It is used for thank-you cards in parcels, festival greetings, invitations and brand inserts. The studio shows the card standing open at any angle, with A6, A5, square and 5 x 7 in sizes and three paper weights, and lays out the outside and inside spreads for printing.
- Front
- The cover people see first: the main image or greeting.
- Back
- Usually quiet: a small logo, a website or a social handle.
- Inside left and right
- The message pages. Often one is left blank for a handwritten note.
- Fold (score)
- The crease down the middle. Heavy card is scored before folding so it does not crack.
How to size it
- Pick the folded size in the studio. The flat sheet is twice as wide: an A6 card prints on an A5 sheet.
- Add 3 mm bleed on the outer edges and keep text 5 mm inside the trim and away from the fold.
- Remember the outside spread prints back then front, so the back is on the left of the flat sheet.
- Pick the envelope to match: an A6 card fits a C6 envelope (114 x 162 mm), and a 5 x 7 in card fits an A7 invitation envelope.
| For | Size (L x W x H) |
|---|---|
| A6 folded | 105 x 148 mm (printed on A5, fits C6 envelopes) |
| A5 folded | 148 x 210 mm (printed on A4, fits C5 envelopes) |
| Square | 150 x 150 mm (needs a square envelope, about 155 to 160 mm) |
| 5 x 7 in | 127 x 178 mm (fits A7 envelopes (184 x 133 mm)) |
Materials and finishes
- Uncoated card, about 300 to 350 gsm
- Easy to write on with any pen. The usual choice for greeting and thank-you cards.
- Coated card
- Brighter photos and colour. Ballpoint pens work; some gel and fountain pens smudge.
- Textured or handmade paper
- Wedding and festival invitations with a crafted feel.
Finishes
- Foil
- Gold or rose-gold details for festivals and weddings.
- Scoring
- Needed on heavy card so the fold is clean. Most printers include it with folding.
Mistakes to avoid
- Front and back swapped on the flat sheet: the card opens the wrong way. Check the layout before you send it.
- Dark solid colour across the fold: it can crack and show white. Score the card, laminate it, or keep the fold area lighter.
- A square card in a standard envelope: it does not fit, and square envelopes can cost more to post. Check postal rules first.
- Coated or laminated inside pages: many pens smudge. Keep the writing side uncoated.
