Folded Business Card Printing

Our folded business card range is designed to make things easy, which is why each card folds to the standard business card size. This is 85mm x 55mm for rectangles, and 55mm x 55mm or 85mm x 85mm for squares. These cards are guaranteed to fit nicely within your client's wallets or within business card display cases.

We have 3 different types of fold for our folded business cards – half fold, zig-zag fold, and roll fold. The half fold has a crease line straight down the centre of your card, leaving one panel either side. The zig-zag folds left, right, left, opening to be a similar shape to a zig zag or letter Z. The roll fold, folds in on itself, from the right inwards, and is described as being similar to the letter C once opened.

In the options above, we have narrowed down our best picks of paper weights for folded business cards.

The more pages your folded business card has, the lower the GSM we would recommend choosing.

There are occasions where our team will recommend a laminate, typically for designs with heavy coverage of print.
