Buying Guide

Match envelope size to card

Choose A7 or A4 envelopes based on your card dimensions—A7 (about 5 1/4" x 7 1/4") fits many folded thank-you cards while A4 envelopes suit smaller or square cards

Check closure type

Peel-and-press or self-seal closures speed mailing and give a neater finish than traditional lick-seal options

Consider paper weight

Heavier text weights (e.g., 80 lb) feel more substantial and protect cards in transit; lighter papers reduce postage weight but may crease more easily

Pick color with mailing and presentation in mind

Bright colors like mandarin orange or limelight green enhance presentation for informal notes, while neutral browns or lilacs suit more formal thank-you cards

Buy pack size for your usage

Choose larger packs (250–500) if you send many cards; smaller packs reduce upfront cost for occasional senders and let you sample colors
