Many friend card sets use a compact 4 x 6 inch format; some smaller note cards measure about 3.5 x 5 inches.
They’re presented as all-occasion and birthday cards and are also suggested for thank-you notes, thinking-of-you messages, anniversaries, Valentine exchanges, and other personal notes to friends.
Packaging varies by set but commonly includes boxed assortments or acetate packs that keep cards and envelopes neat and ready for gifting or storage.
Many cards have a smooth matte interior surface for writing and some feature a glossy exterior finish; kraft options provide a natural kraft-paper writing surface.
Several 4 x 6 inch cards are noted as roomy enough for personal photos and small gift cards, making them convenient for keepsakes or including a gift card.
