Greeting Cards templates
Greeting cards are ordered by their folded size — the card as it sits in the envelope. We print and score the flat sheet, so the panel you design here is one face of the finished card. Because the inside is where the message goes, most of these layouts are built as a set: cover, inside spread and back mark.
100 starting layouts, drawn for 6 × 4"
Each one opens in the studio as editable layers. The wording is a placeholder — replace it with yours and the layout holds.

Sizes we print
9 sizes in 9 proportions — a layout survives a change of size, not a change of proportion, which is why the grid above is drawn for the size marked below.

How this file has to be built
- Bleed 0.125" · safety 0.125"
- Backgrounds run 0.125" past the cut line so trimming never opens a white sliver; anything that must survive stays 0.125" inside it. The studio canvas is the cut line itself — magenta edge — and the dashed guide inside it is the safety margin.
- 300 DPI at final size
- Small format is read at arm's length, so photos and logos need the full 300. One side or both, your choice at checkout.
- Foil mask · Raised spot UV mask
- These ride as separate masks, not as part of the artwork: 100% black where the layer lands, white where it does not. Design the ink in the studio and send the mask alongside it.
- · Sizes are the folded card; the flat sheet is twice the panel and we impose and score it.
- · Order the card printed outside and inside if the message goes on the inner spread.
- · Match the card to an envelope before you commit — A-7 fits 5 × 7, A-2 fits 5.5 × 4.25.
What it costs printed
Prices are the catalogue entry point for each item, computed by the same engine that charges at checkout. Stock, finish, size and quantity move the number — the configurator on each page shows it live.
Greeting Cards questions
- Are the sizes the open card or the folded card?
- The folded card — what goes in the envelope. We print the flat sheet at twice that and score it, so you only ever lay out a single panel.
- Do you supply envelopes?
- They are a separate item in the catalogue. Pick the envelope that matches your folded size — A-7 for 5 × 7, A-2 for 5.5 × 4.25 — or order custom-made envelopes printed to match the card.
