We offer four incredible card stocks for custom-folded cards and invitations. Two are less expensive for handing out, and two are more durable for mailing. We individually score each 3.5x5 finished card and partner them with a natural or white vellum envelope. We've seen 3.5x5 folded cards utilized for almost every occasion. Enjoy them as note cards, party invitations, art collections, thank you cards, birthday cards, and much more. We'd love to help print your next card project.

Features of 3.5x5 Folded Cards

  • Add Ivory white, natural, or Kraft envelopes.
  • Both sides can be full bleed and CMYK colors
  • Our design team inspects artwork before printing
  • Choose one of four premier and sustainable card choices.

Four Premium Card Choices

  • Gloss Card (80# Cover) - This is the least expensive alternative for handed-out folded cards.
  • Matte Card (70# Cover) - This stock is ideal for elegant cards requiring less shine and a smooth surface.
  • Matte Card (100# Cover) - Our favorite print medium, this opaque option is better for writing on and perfect for note cards.
  • Gloss Card (18pt / Gloss Exterior) - A more premium and durable card, this gloss stock enhances color vibrancy. Order now.

We recommend the latter two choices as substantially higher-end card options. However, the first two paper choices offer significant savings while still being quality choices.

How Long Does It Take to Print?

3 business days for all quantities.

Art Tips and Specs for Custom 3.5x5 Folded Cards

If the subsequent guide seems written in Valyrian to you, don't let it keep you from ordering cards. Our experienced professionals inspect all artwork before presswork starts. If we cannot resolve the difficulties that we discover, one of our courteous internal designers will be in touch.

  • One key element we would like from you is the bleed area. This extra space allows us to provide edge-to-edge printing. Try to prepare your art files with 5.75" x 7.25" (spread format) or 5.25" x 3.625" (individual sides) dimensions. Cards can be set up in portrait or landscape mode. If needed, we will make adjustments, and we ask that you focus on moving valuable components at least 0.25 inches away from the four edges.
  • Thoroughly investigate the quality settings and identify if you produce in a 300dpi workspace. Many standard graphics apps default to a web-quality 72dpi (Adobe) or a modest-quality 132dpi (Procreate). Increasing the quality setting to 300dpi or higher before you begin creating is a colossal step in the right direction toward quality.
  • We prefer the two file formats, PDF or JPG. Don't worry; our artists usually accept other files such as PNG, EPS, PSD, AI, and TIF. 
  • Try checking your digital artwork's color mode. We convert all files to CMYK. Many designers casually work in RGB, but this color mode is for digital media. The CMYK conversion process can lead to softened colors or various color shifts. If this is your first time printing with a commercial print company, we suggest ordering a PDF proof.
  • Please remove trim marks from your artwork since we use our cut lines. Sometimes, designers leave these marks on the art, but we will ask you to remove them before production.

More Details About 3.5x5 Folded Cards

Our production crew carefully scores each 5x7 print into two 3.5x5 sides for folding perfection. Orders 100 cards and under are shipped already folded. We score larger orders but send the cards flat for safer transportation. All 5x7 cards are considered "full bleed" or "borderless," and we preserve margins if present in the original artwork.

Single or Double-Sided Cards?

  • Single-Sided - Art can be on the front and very back of the card.
  • Double-Sided - This includes printing on the inside of the card as well.

Add a PDF Proof

We do not require proofing for most artwork. Don't worry; we briefly review all files for quality purposes. We will email or call you to resolve problems if we see obvious problems. If you need a digital sample, please choose the digital proof option. This extra step will delay an order by one business day but can help us avoid unforeseen mistakes.

Folding Your Cards

We score all 3.5x5 folded cards and invitations. We only fold orders of quantities 100 or less.
