5x7 Greeting Card Printing (Scored & Ready to Fold)
Our 5x7 greeting card printing is designed for projects that need a clean fold, a premium feel, and space for a message inside. Each card is scored for smooth folding and printed in full color on quality cover stock. This format is ideal when you want a card your customer can open, display, and keep.
The 5x7 size is the largest and most premium of our folded greeting card formats. It's the go-to choice for retail card lines, holiday photo cards, formal invitations, and any project where presentation matters as much as the message itself. Artists, photographers, wedding planners, and small businesses nationwide rely on the 5x7 format for cards that feel substantial in the hand and stand out in mailboxes. All cards are printed in the United States on sustainably sourced cover stock.
Finished size: 5" x 7" after folding.
Flat size: 10" x 7" (10.25" x 7.25" with bleed).
What Makes These Different From 5x7 Flat Cards

Scored fold: Built for opening and writing inside.
-
Inside space: Ideal for longer notes, personalization, and messaging.
-
Premium presentation: A classic retail-friendly greeting card format.
-
Envelope pairing: Pairs with standard A7 envelopes through our Matching Envelopes add-on.
If you don't need an inside message and want a simple single-panel format, choose our 5x7 flat card printing instead.

Best Uses for 5x7 Greeting Cards
5x7 greeting cards are a go-to choice when you want a premium card customers can open and write in. The larger format gives you room for artwork on the outside and a message on the inside — without feeling cramped.
Retail Greeting Cards for Artists
Turn your artwork into a product customers can purchase, gift, and keep. The 5x7 size is popular for art fairs, conventions, shops, and online sales because it's easy to display in standard card racks and feels high-value to buyers. Many artists build retail card lines around the 5x7 format because it commands a higher price point than smaller sizes while still being affordable to produce.
Holiday & Seasonal Cards
Perfect for seasonal collections, family photo cards, or branded holiday mailers. Full-color printing makes artwork and photography pop, and the substantial 5x7 size makes the card feel like a keepsake rather than a disposable greeting.
Wedding Invitations With an Inside Message
The 5x7 folded format is one of the most popular sizes for wedding invitations. Use the inside panels for ceremony details, reception information, RSVP instructions, or a personal welcome note. The larger format pairs naturally with smaller insert cards (RSVPs, accommodations) to create a complete invitation suite.
Thank-You & Client Notes
Send a meaningful thank-you with space for personalization. Businesses and creatives often use this format for VIP notes, packaging inserts, and customer appreciation mailings where a smaller card would feel too casual.
Announcements With Room for Details
Great for graduations, engagements, birth announcements, and life updates. Use the outside for a hero photo or design, and the inside for names, dates, and longer copy. The format works equally well for personal milestones and business announcements.
RSVP & Insert Card Pairings
Need RSVP cards? Pair your 5x7 invitations with our 3.5x5 flat cards for RSVPs or our 4.25x5.5 flat cards for accommodations and additional details. Coordinated insert cards turn a single invitation into a complete suite.
Quick tip: Choose 5x7 greeting card printing when you want a scored fold and inside writing space. Choose 5x7 flat card printing when you want a single-panel card for simple messaging or quick handouts.
Choosing the Right Greeting Card Size
Our folded greeting cards come in multiple sizes to fit different uses and design styles:
-
3.5x5 Mini Greeting Cards — Our most compact folded card size. Best for short messages, retail card sets, and budget-conscious mailings.
-
4.25x5.5 (A2) Greeting Cards — The classic mid-size folded card. Ideal for thank-you notes, everyday greetings, and retail card lines.
-
5x7 Greeting Cards — Our largest folded greeting card size. Perfect for showcasing detailed artwork, holiday cards, wedding invitations, and premium event mailings.
Quick tip: Choose 5x7 when you want maximum design space, a premium feel, and the ability to build a coordinated invitation suite with matching insert cards.
5x7 Greeting Card FAQ
What size envelope does a 5x7 greeting card need?
5x7 greeting cards fit standard A7 envelopes (5.25" x 7.25"). When you add our Matching Envelopes to your cart, we automatically pair the right envelope size with your card order — you only choose the color.
Are 5x7 greeting cards good for wedding invitations?
Yes — the 5x7 folded greeting card is one of the most popular sizes for wedding invitations. The larger format provides room for full ceremony details, reception information, and a personal welcome note inside, while still pairing with widely available A7 envelopes.
Can I print on the inside of the card?
Yes — full-color printing is available on the inside, the outside, or both. Many customers print a design on the front and outside back, then leave the inside blank for handwritten messages. Others print a fully designed card with interior artwork or text. Either approach works.
Are 5x7 cards more expensive to mail than smaller cards?
5x7 cards in standard A7 envelopes typically qualify for standard letter-rate postage in the United States, but exact rates depend on weight and current USPS pricing. Heavier cardstocks or thick envelope contents (like multi-card invitation suites) may require additional postage. We recommend confirming postage at your local post office before mailing a large batch.
