3.0 out of 5 stars I like this size for my cards, April 16, 2003

This is the size that I choose for my quick family-type cards. I like the easy way this card folds up. It's a perfect media for sending a cousin a "pick-her-upper" fun-card. It's also a great media for grandkids because you can do them quick and colorful. No, you won't be competing with Hallmark with this card but because of the ease of putting it together you can have a lot of fun with these.

For quarter-fold cards, these are completely adequate. In fact, Amazon's price and low shipping cost means that you'll come out ahead over buying at most retail outlets.

The product's major flaw is precisely that they _are_ quarter-fold cards. You'll rarely find a quarter-fold at a card shop--especially not made out of heavy card stock--because they're bulky and impermanent. They're twice as thick as the more standard two-fold cards. And if you can fold them, your recipient can unfold them. This destructability fairly screams "I was made on a computer in someone's home office."

So why do so many people buy this product? I guess because the sheets are the same size as North American letter paper, they "feel" familiar. Maybe, as well, the format is a hold-over from the 1980s, when dot matrix printers reigned, and there was no other convenient way to make cards but by quad-folding. Or perhaps it's because a two-fold card in the small invitation size is rarely (if ever) available at most retail locations.

Whatever the reasons, your end results with this product will look as cheap as the card stock costs.

Not available in our local stationery store so we bought them here after the original purchase was gone and did our web search. The paper is heavy, but nicely pre-folded so it looks like a real store-bought card but you can really send what you mean to say. Paper that prints nicely. Who's friend would look down their nose at such a nice thought? Not ours.
