Printing Cards

1.  The cards should be printed, folded in half, then glued.

2.  While the cards can be folded and glued on paper, they should probably be mounted on cardboard or posterboard to stiffen them for use.  

3.  When cutting the cards, I usually leave some white space around them before gluing or sticking them to the cardboard/posterboard.  The cardboard/posterboard I use is also extra large to accommodate the white space.  After the glue has dried or the card is stuck, I then cut the card out in the desired shape.

4.  Here are some printing ideas:

a. Fold on the dashed line, and insert a piece of cardboard/posterboard between the halves.   Glue the pieces together.

b.  Print the cards on large sticker-sheets (available from office supply stores) and stick them to the cardboard/posterboard (this is the method that I use).

c.  Print them directly onto cardboard/posterboard.  Many print shops can do this.  Some will even transfer the cards from a disk to the printer for you; others will need a paper printout first.  Check with your local print shop for prices and availability.
