When “Finished Size” Differs from Overall Paper Size
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.

Hi Janet,
Both of our 5 x 7 (portrait and landscape) pocket folds require an invitation card that is 4 7/8 x 6 7/8 inches or smaller to close properly.

11 x 17 is a perfect size for making 5 x 7 pocket folds. In face, we have a tutorial making 5 x 7 pocket folds using 11 x 17 card stock:
