Except for the maxi-card format (portrait only), all cards listed here can be printed in both landscape and portrait style.

Regardless of which paper you print your folded cards on, print24.com allows you to choose from the full spectrum of modern printing inks.

Once printed, your folded cards are cut to size and creased (flat). When placing your order, please note that all information always relates to the finished product. We deliver all cards with paper thicknesses of 300 gsm and over unfolded.
Give your folded card a bit of oomph with our refinement options
Depending on your choice of paper and format, print24.com can elaborately refine your folded cards. This way, you’ll make your invitations or greeting cards into something special, which stands out from the usual cards. The following options are available:
- Blind embossing: For example, we can impress names or logos onto your invitations, giving them an additional tactile element.
- Lamination/Cellophane coating (Glossy/Matte/Linen finish/ Softtouch): These refinement options give your cards a unique surface which is not only pleasant to the touch, but also looks stylish.
- Hot foil flat embossing: This refinement significantly enhances the look of your folded cards.
- Hot foil relief embossing: Combine visually appealing hot-foil features with a tactile element through embossing. It’s a great way to accentuate slogans or words.
- Relief varnish: If you choose this type of refinement, we’ll apply a special coat of varnish to individual parts of your card to make them stand out from the rest of the card in terms of look and feel.
- UV varnish: We’ll cover your cards in UV varnish, thereby increasing their wear resistance while simultaneously creating an attractive effect.
- UV spot varnish: Selecting this option sees us accentuate specific elements of your invitations, giving them great light-reflective properties.
Creasing or perforation – according to your requirements
We can either crease or perforate your folded cards. We recommend creasing for paper thicknesses of 170 gsm and over. It’s important you state the number of perforation or crease lines in your order.
