Z-fold greeting card base / LETTER

A good fit for your idea?

Follow the packet’s fold sequence; panel dimensions alone do not tell you which face should be visible.

Test the display before adding artwork

Fold a plain trial and mark the intended front, inside and supporting faces. This avoids placing a message where it is hidden when the card is closed or displayed.

About this file

Instruction pages
1

A 180 x 120 mm z-fold base with panel widths 45, 45, 90 mm.

From file to finished page

  1. Choose the paper size loaded in your printer and open the matching PDF.
  2. Print at actual size (100%) on the matching paper. Measure the 50 mm reference line on a physical trial; a screen ruler is not a print check.
  3. Cut around the outer rectangle. Score only the dashed fold lines before decorating the blank panels.
  4. Fold the first 45 mm panel back at the first crease. Fold the second crease in the opposite direction to form a Z in side view.
  5. Keep any separate decoration inside the front-panel width until you have tested how the card closes.
  6. Check the finished folds on scrap first. These dimensions do not establish compatibility with a commercial card or envelope size.
Printing and use notes

Make a scrap-paper trial before using special material or producing a batch.

Digital geometry does not establish physical assembly, durable joins, material fit or compatibility with a particular product.
