These are great if you want to make flash cards, but you are like me and don't care to hand write them all. I use images from my online textbooks and sometimes the definitions from those textbooks as well. Using the envelopes and labels option in word, I am able to easily format these, and print them out. For double sided use, I just flip over the stack and get answer and question on the same card. This is cheaper for me than purchasing pre-made flash cards, and they are durable enough for me to pass on when I am finished with them.

As a current medical student, flash cards save me a great deal of time when I am reviewing. This product, especially at this price is one with which I am greatly pleased.

I ALWAYS buy Avery stuff to use, and thought it would just be easier to get it on Amazon rather than go to the office supply store. I did not get the blue and yellow package, I received two beat up off-white packages (that looked like they'd been opened before and with tattered corners) with EVERYTHING labeled in Spanish. Then when I opened them, they weren't heavyweight at all. They were flimsy and barely thicker than a regular piece of paper. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THESE TO ANYONE, perhaps if they were the actual ones that I thought I was getting I could rate them higher.

I've been a user of 3 x 5 cards for decades. There's always a stack of them in my shirt pocket, though I do admit to not using them consistently.

Right now, I'm working on a project that requires me to catalog dozens of snippets from various sources and then integrate them into my writing. Typical outlining programs won't handle this well, so it's back to the index cards. Fortunately, one of my outlining programs handles output to the Avery cards.

You can also use them with Microsoft Word, FileMaker, Access and any other program that lets you format your print output.

These things tear neatly and accept laser or inkjet output.

Brutally expensive when compared to ordinary index cards, but incomparably handy. Worth the price when you need a foolproof method of printing index cards. The regular ones often don't get along with some - actually many - printers.

These arrived promptly, and they were exactly what I expected. The index cards come apart nicely, leaving no signs of the perforations.

Printer Paper Avery 3x5 Index Cards / B00006HPWA

I bought these for use with my AccuChef recipe program to hold and store recipes, and I'm very happy with them. The paper works flawlessly with my printer (Canon PIXMA MX860 Wireless All-In-One office Printer), and the perforated edges make it easy to detach the cards after printing. The cards can be printed on front and back, which is perfect for large recipes.

Do note that you need to fill up all three index cards before detaching them, or else you'll end up wasting the empty ones - my printer, at least, isn't set up to just take in one card - it has to be a full sheet.

I'm using these index cards with a program for learning a foreign language and they are GREAT! Much faster than writing everything out, and I can print more in a flash if my old ones are lost or damaged. Also, Ritz-Camera gives FAST service (delivered within 4 days of ordering) and a discount on delivery for bulk purchases. Finally, the most inexpensive price I could find anywhere!

I got these for a very specific purpose and they work well for what I need. I print a form on them that it then completed by hand. I print them on an HP P1006 printer and the edges don't line up exactly right, which is annoying but I'm working around it rather than spending time tweeking the margins and template. The edges tear off cleanly almost all of the time and don't leave big obvious wavy per marks on the edge of the card. I think these are a little pricey for what they are but I'll buy again unless I think of a better alternative for my needs.

First off -- you're paying for quality card stock. But the results don't look that great.

Second -- again you are paying for quality -- the tears are not that that neat. You have to go back and tear off little pieces small enough to be hard to grip.

Third -- let's see a three by five card on 8.5 x 11 sheet. You could put four on this and they only have three. You throw away a lot of paper -- and get 25% fewer cards.

In summation, you are paying too much. I'm buying a paper cutter.

Cards worked wonderfully. I used them for Tradeshow invitations. Easy template to use. Just make sure you turn on borders to
see boundaries of cards. Amazon is a great trusted source to use A++++

Cards were as advertised, separate cleanly, lost all my recipe cards in the Great Flood of May 2010, and slowly getting them redone to print on cards. This time they will be on Computer disks in two locations (as will all my other data) merchandise from dealer was shipped promptly, packaged well.
