Better than Store-Bought Cards, Easy and Fast
Avery Half-Fold Greeting Cards are a brilliant invention that have earned my highest recommendation. They have enabled me to create and send professional-looking, personalized greeting cards, at a moment's notice. No more worrying that the stores are closed and I need a card; or poring over dozens of in-store cards, none of which contain precisely the message I want to send. -- The product: Each package contains 30 sheets of greeting-card-weight cardstock, gently scored across the width for easy folding, plus a detailed instruction sheet. -- The quality: Avery uses the highest quality greeting-card-paper available. The other brands I've tried (when Avery was sold out) had lighter-weight paper whose surface often lacked the smoothness of Avery's matte paper. (The smoother the surface, the more even the ink-spread.) The scoring done for the fold-line on Avery's cards is also superior to that on other products, which tend not to fold as cleanly. -- The process: Simple and straightforward, provided that one reads through and follows the detailed directions on the enclosed instruction sheet. To create a card with printing/graphics inside and out, one inserts the sheet and prints one side, then re-inserts the sheet to print on the other side. (Some printers will do double-sided printing automatically, without the need to reinsert the paper.) -- The benefits: Even adding in the price of ink, the finished cards cost the same or less than most store-bought greeting cards. But more importantly, the personalization makes them priceless; I can add photographs and memories, adjust font colors and text, all of which come out flawlessly on these Avery cards.
