Order cheap folded cards online at 55printing with free design setup, a digital proof, and nationwide shipping. These half-fold cards open like a tiny booklet, so you can put a cover message outside and details inside for menus, invitations, loyalty offers, and leave-behind handouts that feel more finished than a flat business card.
Pick horizontal or vertical 2 by 3.5 folded size, paper stock, and quantity in the calculator above. Upload a print-ready PDF, JPG, or PNG at 300 DPI, or ask for design help. Paid orders include proofing until you approve the file, which keeps panels aligned to the fold before we print.
Folded cards work well when you need more copy than a single face can hold: tasting notes, service menus, event schedules, QR codes, or a thank-you message on the inside. Keep critical text off the fold line and leave a quiet margin near the trim so the finished piece looks clean in the hand.
