Question
What's the difference between flat and folded thank you card sizes?
Answer
The listed size means different things depending on whether the card is flat or folded, and it directly affects how you build your file.
- Flat card: the listed size is the actual finished size.
- Folded card: the listed size is the finished, folded dimension.
- Example: a "5x7 folded" card starts as a 10x7 flat sheet before folding.
- File setup: design to the full unfolded size and account for the fold line.
Getting this right up front prevents artwork from landing on the wrong panel or getting cut off at the crease.
