What Are Folded Business Cards?
Folded business cards are printed cards that fold in half, creating additional space for information while keeping the finished card compact and easy to carry. They work like traditional business cards but provide extra panels for details that may not fit on a standard flat card.
You can use the front panel to display your business name, logo and primary contact details, then use the inside panels for services, appointment information, opening hours, special offers or a short introduction to your company.
With PrintLocker’s folded business card printing, you can choose a half-fold format, select a suitable cardstock and customize the print colors to fit your design. These cards are useful for businesses that want to share more information without switching to a larger marketing piece.
Where Folded Business Cards Work Best
Folded business cards are useful when you need to share more than your name, company, phone number and email address. Their extra panels make them suitable for several business purposes.
- Professional Networking: Share your contact details and a short introduction to your business when meeting potential clients or partners.
- Appointment-Based Businesses: Include appointment reminders, booking details, business hours or information about your next visit.
- Beauty and Wellness Services: Display a list of treatments, service details, booking information or a loyalty message.
- Real Estate Professionals: Present contact information along with a brief service overview or details about your property services.
- Small Businesses and Consultants: Explain your main services, specialties or business offerings in a compact format.
- Retail and Customer Promotions: Add a discount message, loyalty information or details about a special offer.
- Creative and Professional Services: Use the inside panels to introduce your work, list services or provide additional contact information.
If your business serves Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Culver City or surrounding communities, folded business cards can help you provide customers with more useful information during in-person meetings and local networking events.

Folded Business Card FAQs
What are folded business cards used for?

What size are folded business cards?
The listed option is 2" x 3.5" – Fold Over, along with a custom size option. Confirm the flat artwork dimensions and finished folded dimensions for your selected configuration before submitting your print file.
What is a half fold in business card printing?
A half fold divides the card into two sections, creating a front, back and interior panels. Scoring creates a guide for the fold and helps the card fold more neatly.

Yes. The listed color options include 4/4 full-color printing on both sides, 4/0 color on the front with no back printing and 4/1 color on the front with a black back. Confirm how the selected color configuration applies to the panels of your folded card before ordering.
Which paper should I choose for folded business cards?

Can I order custom-sized folded business cards?
A custom size is listed as an available option. Share your required dimensions when requesting a quote so the suitable format and folding specifications can be confirmed.
What information should I include on a folded business card?
Consider including your business name, logo, phone number, email address, website and primary services. The additional panels can be used for appointment details, opening hours, a short introduction or a promotional message. Keep the layout clear and avoid filling every panel with too much text.
How do I prepare artwork for folded business card printing?
Plan the artwork around the fold, keeping important text, logos and contact information away from the scoring line. Use the correct flat dimensions for your selected card, follow the printer's bleed and safe-area guidelines and check that each panel is oriented correctly. Confirm the final template and file requirements with PrintLocker before submitting your artwork.
