Half Fold Card Printing Tips
Start with a test print: Print your design on plain paper first to check alignment, margins, fold placement, and front/back orientation.
Use the right paper setting: Choose cardstock, heavyweight matte, photo paper, or specialty paper settings based on the finish you are printing.
Fold after printing: These cards are designed to print flat, then fold cleanly along the pre-scored line for a professional final result.
Pair with envelopes: Finished half fold cards fit standard A9-style greeting card envelopes and related invitation packaging.
