In your paper specifications, what does Finished Size mean?

Please enable JavaScript to see the video.

We received a great question from Lucille who wants clarification on our Finished Size specification. She asks,

When you say "Finished Size" 5/1/2 x 8 1/2, it means that it’s folded to that size but it’s actually 8 1/2 x 11, right?

She's absolutely right. In the case of a folding item like a Program, Pocket Fold, or other blank folding card, the finished size is the final size of the item which it is folded closed. Watch our video to learn about why both the finished size and the overall paper size can be important specifications.

How to print cardstock

Most of us are experts at printing 8 1/2 x 11 copy paper at home or at the office, but many of us have limited experience printing card stock paper in other sizes. If you're running into trouble printing smaller paper and custom card sizes, you may find the answer you need in one or more of the Top 10 Most Overlooked Printing Suggestions.

FAQs - Blank Cards

What envelope size fits an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet folded in half?

An 8 1/2 x 11 folded in half measures 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 (an A9 folder). Our A9 - 5 3/4 x 8 3/4 envelopes are the proper fit.

Can you recommend a thick card stock for printing greeting cards on an inkjet printer?

For a matte finish card stock we would recommend the LCI Brand blank cards which will range in weight from 65lb / 176gsm to 120lb / 325gsm card stock. Our recommendation would be the 100lb or 270gsm weight which is suitable for most home inkjet or laser printers. To best decide, order samples of each of the weights and test through your printer.

What do the terms debossed and embossed mean?

In several of our item descriptions, you will notice the words debossed and embossed. For example, many of our cards feature embossed designs and borders, or debossed panels. Where the words debossed and embossed are so similar, many people find themselves confused by their meanings, and may wonder exactly what their invitation cards will look and feel like.

Embossed Stated simply, embossed means that the card features a design, pattern, or border that is slightly raised. Essentially, when you run your hand over a card with an embossed design, it will not feel flat to the touch, as the raised design will be apparent.

Debossed Conversely, a debossed design is one that sits slightly lower than the rest of the card. Cards with debossment do not feel flat to the touch either, as you are able to feel the dip of the design into the card. For example, all of the blank panel cards we carry feature a debossed panel that sits slightly lower in the center of the card. The debossed panel creates a subtle, elegant frame for your invitation wording.

Are your folded cards pre-scored?

Yes all of our folded blank cards are pre-scored. Blank cards are delivered flat, and open for printing and pre-scored for easy folding afterwards.
