Order from a print shop 

This is a very basic job that any print shop should be able to do. I placed an order online with FedEx, so that’s what these instructions explain how to do. 

1. Go to the FedEx website and choose the following options for the cards:

   • PRINT COLOR: Full Color

   • PAPER SIZE: 8.5in X 11in

   • PAPER TYPE: Matte Cover (100 lb.)

   • SIDES: Double-Sided

2. Click the “Upload a File” button.

3. Save this PDF to your device. Then click the “Browse Files” button, select the PDF and click the “Add to Cart” button. 

4. Click the "Continue Shopping" button, then  "Copies & Custom Documents" from below.

5. Choose the following options for the wrapper:

   • PRINT COLOR: Full Color

   • PAPER SIZE: 8.5in X 11in

   • PAPER TYPE: Laser (32 lb.)

   • SIDES: Double-Sided

6. Click the “Upload  a File” button.

7. For the wrapper, save either this PDF (for green) or this PDF (for pink) to your device. Then click the “Browse Files” button, select the PDF and click the “Add to Cart” button. 

8. At the bottom of the “Cart Summary” webpage, choose either the free “In-Store Pickup” or “Shipping” option (for an additional charge), then click the “Proceed to Checkout” button. You can either login to use your FedEx membership or continue as a guest.

9. If you choose “In-Store Pickup,” select the FedEx location you where you want to pick up your order and enter your contact information below. If you choose “Shipping,” enter your address.

10. Click the “Continue to Payment” button, choose how you want to pay (credit card or FedEx Office Print Account) and enter your payment information as needed. 

11. Click the “Review Order” button, review your order and then click the “Submit Order” button. 

After getting your order

• Cut the cards out using scissors, an X-Acto® knife with ruler or paper trimmer. Cut the fronts precisely along the edges where the color and white meet so that the color goes all the way to the card border and there is no white left over.

For the wrapper: 

11. • Fold the paper inward on all four sides along the lines around the image. Then place the pack of cards on the text side of the paper in the center of the folds. Continue to fold the paper inward and over on all four sides so that the back is fully covered and the edge of one side runs vertically down the center.

    • Take a piece of transparent tape (about two inches long) and fold one end over very slightly so that it sticks together. Then place the sticky part of the tape on the top flap and fasten it closed. You can use the folded end as a "handle" to open the pack and close it again by re-sticking the tape.

Print at home (if you have a high-quality printer)

1. Load three sheets of 8.5” X 11” cardstock (at least 14-point thickness) into your printer.

2. Print this PDF double-sided. 

3. Cut the cards out using scissors, an X-Acto® knife with ruler or paper trimmer. Cut the fronts precisely along the edges where the color and white meet so that the color goes all the way to the card border and there is no white left over.

4. For the wrapper: 

   • Print either this PDF (for green) or this PDF (for pink) on regular printer paper.

   • Fold the paper inward on all four sides along the lines around the image. Then place the pack of cards on the text side of the paper in the center of the folds. Continue to fold the paper inward and over on all four sides so that the back is fully covered and the edge of one side runs vertically down the center.
