card inserts

Common card insert sizes include about 3.5 × 2.12–2.125 inches, 3 × 5 inches, 2.25 × 3.5 inches, and 4 × 6 inches. Some photo-frame cards list a photo window size (for example, 5 × 3.125 inches).

Pack sizes vary by product. Examples include sets totaling 120 inserts (sold as 4 packs of 30), and other common counts of 150, 48, or 30 cards — exact quantities depend on the specific listing.

Available finishes include matte cardstock and glossy cardstock. Some products use a glossy front with a matte back to improve printing on the backside and provide contrast on the front.

Self-laminating ID inserts let you print the card, punch it out, then fold a self-adhesive laminate over the card (no laminating machine required). Kits typically include printable cardstock inserts and the laminate sheets, and many note compatibility with both laser and inkjet printers.

Some card inserts explicitly state they have a blank backside or a blank design for personalization, making them suitable for handwritten notes. However, available product details usually do not specify exact blank-area dimensions.
