Assembly Instructions:
Center Flap
The center flap can be used to display the main body of the invitation (event, participants, dates, location, etc...)
Please note a 5" x 7" card would be too large to use as an invitation or backing card for the A7 pocket size
Right Pocket Flap
The pocket can be used to display additional event details, maps, directions, rsvp cards, reception cards, hotel & registry information, etc... The maximum width that can be placed inside the pocket is 4 1/4".
If you are including an envelope inside the pocket, we would recommend using a A1 (4 Bar) size envelope.
Mailing
When assembled, the card will fit perfectly into an A7 Square Flap Envelope or A7 Euro Flap Envelope. Most pockets have a matching envelope in the same color.
Printing
Due to the style of the card, it is NOT compatible with most home printers. It is best to print on an insert and adhere to the middle flap or place inside the pocket on the right side. If you need printing directly on the card, please contact a local print shop.
Mounting
You can order any of our papers and use our Custom Cutting service to have the paper trimmed to the size you need. We also have Pre-Cut Base Cards in Bright White Solid or you may order paper uncut and have it cut locally. You can use our Adhesives or any adhesives intended for photo mounting to adhere the Base on the middle flap.
