About 3lb Cards

Closure style
Most 3lb cards offer one of three flap (or closure) styles:

• pointed flap (also known as baronial)
• straight flap (also known as announcement)
• coin (also known as catalog)

The Diagolope will sometimes have an angle flap and some custom cards may have further stylized or shaped flaps.

Size 
3lb cards come in variety of sizes.  Here are the most common:

• Coin - 3.5x2.125in
• Square 3 - 3x3in
• Square 5 - 5x5in
• Square 5.5 - 5.5x5.5in

Card sizes refer to the folded, finished product so you'll have roughly double that amount of space to write on.  The envelope measurements are necessarily a bit larger.  All measurements will vary slightly.  Coin and Square 3 cards cannot be sent through the mail but are perfect for use as gift enclosures and for slipping into pockets or lunchbags.  Square 5, 5.5, and 6 cards require extra postage.  Occasionally, other size cards made from specialty papers will require extra postage due to texture or special handling restrictions.  The inside of all cards is left blank for your message.
