Instead of one printed face, it opens along a scored crease into an outside cover and an inside spread, so a promotion, a menu, an event announcement, or a direct mail drop has room for the whole message. You get the reach of a postcard with the space of a small brochure, and every card is scored so the fold sits sharp instead of cracking the ink. A set of 50 starts at $84.36, rated 4.9 out of 5 across 103 reviews. ### Interesting Foldover Postcard Formats Three choices on this product make a foldover card stand apart from a flat mailer. - A tri-fold. The 15" x 7" sheet panels down to 5" x 7" with three faces to print, and the 6" x 12" closes to a slim 6" x 4". - A tall half fold. The 12" x 11" sheet closes to 6" x 11", a folded card that fills a mailbox. - A stock people notice. The 14pt white linen adds a woven texture, and the 15pt synthetic plastic stands up to water. All eight sizes are scored before they fold, print 4/0, 4/1 or 4/4, and run from 50 cards to 100,000. The fold hides an offer or a detail inside, so the cover teases and the inside delivers, and the card gets opened instead of glanced at and dropped. The flat, oversized and specialty cards sit with the rest of the range on [postcards printing](https://www.4over4.com/postcards-printing); the choices for the folded card follow below. A set of 50 costs $84.36, enough to test a fold and an offer on one mailing list. The per-card cost falls across 40 tiers toward 100,000, so a full mailing campaign costs far less per card than that test batch. The tiers below give the set total for each count. ### Print more, pay less per postcard 40 quantity tiers, 50 to 100,000 postcards - Quantity: 100 postcards - Per postcard: $1.13 - Box total: $113.35 - You save: 0% $1.13 per postcard at 100, 10.0¢ at 100,000 ### What Are Folded Postcards A folded postcard is a scored card that opens along a crease, printed full color and folded to a finished size. At 4OVER4 folded postcards come in 8 sizes, from a 6 by 8 inch sheet that half folds to 4 by 6 up to a 12 by 11 inch sheet that folds to 6 by 11, on any of 8 stocks, with two sizes that tri-fold. Every card is scored so the fold creases clean, and you choose the size, stock, ink, and finish on this page. Instead of one flat face, you get an outside cover and an inside spread, so a promotion, a menu, an event announcement, or a direct mail piece has room for the full story rather than a single cramped panel. Every card is scored down the fold line, so the crease folds sharp instead of cracking the ink across a heavy stock. You set the front-and-back ink coverage, choose your stock, pick the folding size, and the price changes with each choice. For a single flat card, the [Standard Postcards](https://www.4over4.com/product/postcards) cover that, and this folded version sits right beside it as the one with room inside. ### What Size Should a Folded Postcard Be Folded postcards come in 8 set sizes, six that half fold and two that tri-fold. The 6 by 8 inch sheet folds to 4 by 6, 10 by 7 folds to 5 by 7, 11 by 8.5 folds to 5.5 by 8.5, 12 by 8 folds to 6 by 8, 12 by 9 folds to 6 by 9, and 12 by 11 folds to 6 by 11, while the 6 by 12 and 15 by 7 inch sheets tri-fold to 6 by 4 and 5 by 7. The first number is the flat sheet and the second is the folded card, and there is no custom sizing on this product. Each size is a flat sheet that closes down to a finished card. The 6 by 8 inch sheet half folds to a compact 4 by 6 inch card, the everyday mailer size that fits a standard envelope. The 10 by 7 and 11 by 8.5 inch sheets fold to 5 by 7 and 5.5 by 8.5, the roomy classics for a detailed promotion. Step up to the 12 by 9 or 12 by 11 inch sheet when you want a big folded card that fills a mailbox, closing to 6 by 9 or a full 6 by 11. Two sizes tri-fold instead of half: the 6 by 12 inch closes to a slim 6 by 4, and the 15 by 7 inch panels down to a 5 by 7 with three faces to print. The chart below lists all 8 sizes, both finishes, and the 8 stocks. For a bigger flat panel without a fold, the [Oversized Postcards](https://www.4over4.com/product/oversized-postcards) go large without the crease. ### Folded Postcards , Configured Your Way 5 option groups, 18 choices, defaults: 14pt Gloss Cover, 4/0: 4 Color Front; Blank Back, Standard Finish ### Bifold Postcard Sizes and Options - Half fold. 6" x 8" to 4" x 6", 10" x 7" to 5" x 7", 11" x 8.5" to 5.5" x 8.5", 12" x 8" to 6" x 8", 12" x 9" to 6" x 9", and 12" x 11" to 6" x 11". - Tri-fold. 6" x 12" to 6" x 4", and 15" x 7" to 5" x 7".

Finish options are Standard or High Gloss UV Coating, and ink prints 4/0 front only, 4/1 front plus black back, or 4/4 full color on both sides. For how the 100# weight feels and where it fits, read [100 lb matte cover paper stock explained: weight, feel, and best uses](https://www.4over4.com/guide/100-lb-matte-cover-paper-stock-explained). The stock list runs 8 deep and covers everyday to specialty. The default 14pt gloss cover keeps the price low and the color bright, and the 16pt gloss steps up the weight. For a softer look, the 100# silk matte cover mutes glare, and the uncoated covers, one with 30 percent and one with 100 percent recycled content, give you a natural, writable surface for a handwritten note. The 14pt white linen adds a woven texture you can feel under your thumb, and the 15pt synthetic plastic is a durable, water-resistant option for a card that takes a beating. For finishes you pick Standard or a High Gloss UV Coating that makes a photo or logo shine, and you set ink coverage to 4/0, 4/1, or 4/4 depending on whether the inside and back print in color. #### Put the inside to work The fold gives you panels a flat card does not have. Print a headline and image on the cover, then open to a coupon, a map, a short menu, or the details of an offer. A folded postcard reads like a mini brochure while it prints and mails like a postcard. #### Design it on a press-ready blank If your artwork is finished, download a press-ready blank built at the real trim size with the fold line, the 1/8" bleed, and the safe margin already drawn in, so your design stays clear of the crease and the cut. Take the layout that matches your order from our [blank templates](https://www.4over4.com/blank-templates), place your art, and upload. ### Press-Ready Blank Templates 1 blank layout, at 6" x 8" (half fold to 4" x 6"), with the cut and safe margins marked - [Folded Postcards 6" x 8" (half fold to 4" x 6") · from $84.36 for 50](https://www.4over4.com/blank-templates/folded-postcards) [Browse more](https://www.4over4.com/blank-templates/folded-postcards) ### How Much Do Folded Postcards Cost Folded postcards start at $84.36 for a set of 50, and the per-card price keeps dropping as you scale, with quantity tiers running all the way to 100,000.

Restaurants print folded menus and takeout cards. Retailers mail a folded promo that shows a headline on the cover and reveals the coupon inside. Real estate agents send folded mailers with a photo on the front and the listing details within. Event hosts use them as announcements and save-the-dates, and service businesses turn them into appointment reminders with a map inside. When a flat postcard runs out of room, the fold gives you the extra panels without jumping to a full brochure, and the built-in scoring keeps every crease sharp. ### See the Rest of Our Postcards Folded postcards are one stop in a much larger lineup, and you can scan the full [print product range](https://www.4over4.com/products) any time.

There are 8 sizes in half-fold and tri-fold. They start at a 6" x 8" that folds to 4" x 6" and go up to a 12" x 11" that folds to 6" x 11", with 10" x 7", 11" x 8.5", 12" x 8" and 12" x 9" half-folds plus 6" x 12" and 15" x 7" tri-folds in between. ### What paper stocks are available for folded postcards?

Yes. Every folded postcard ships pre-scored on the fold line, so the crease sits flat and a gloss coating will not crack when it bends. Half-fold is standard, and several sizes offer a tri-fold for three panels and a cover. ### Can I print full color inside and out? Yes. Print 4/0 with a blank back, 4/1 with a full-color front and black back, or 4/4 in full color on both sides, so you can use all four panels. A High Gloss UV coating is optional on top of the standard finish to make photos and colors snap. ### How fast can I get folded postcards? Production runs from Same Day to 5 business days. Same Day orders must be approved by noon EST or they roll to the next business day. Pick a free online proof when the file is new, or send it straight to production when you trust the art.
