Wallets & Pocketfold Cards

Wallet Cards:
A lovely distinctive choice, classy, yet a very simple design, these will look very professional. These cards are a wallet style cards, where an insert slides into the closed wallet.

1)Are you going to want to print on the outer wallet?
If yes, this is definately possible, our wallet cards are supplied flat packed and unglued, and pre- scored, so this will allow you to add your text to the front of the wallet. It will look fantastic to personlise them. If you are intending on using a home pc printer, you should check that your printer will accept the open flat sizes. But some stores only sell pre-glued wallets, so this is something that should be considered before purchasing. Buying un-glued wallets, gives a lot more flexibilty when making and designing your wedding invites.
2)Glueing the Wallet Cards
All our wallet cards, are supplied, unglued and flat packed, you will need to be very careful when glueing them. Make sure you use either a nozzle pva glue, and apply only thin amount so as not to warp the card, or a very strong double sided tape.
3) Printing on Card Wallet Inserts
Again, you need to check your printer will accept insert sizes, this makes sense, as the inserts for wallet cards will need to slide into the outer wallet card, so you will be printing on smaller inserts than standard sizes. Generally most printers can take various size cards, including square, DL, and smaller sizes. It is normally just a case of adjusting your printer tray guides. You might want to consider using overlay paper on the card wallet insert, this will definately make printing easier. You could even print on A4 paper, then trim to size, then adhere onto the card wallet insert. This will look very professional, especially if you leave a nice border edge to show the wallet insert card.
