How do you store card samples?

Jul 19, 2005 5 Replies

How do you store card samples for easy viewing? I would like something like an album format, as opposed to box o' cards. Unfortunately the average note card is one-quarter the size of an 8.5x11" sheet of paper, or 4.25x5.5", which is just 0.25" too big to fit 4x6" photo pages. Full-size page for one card seems a waste of album space. Any ideas? I guess I could get a page for 5x7" photos, 2/page. I've seen them in the Light Impressions catalog. Does anyone else keep a card "portfolio"?

I have just started making cards for the store & found a great deal on

5"x7" resealable, clear bags from Fusion Concepts. Their website is pretty useless BUT their phone customer service & delivery is superb - 1 888 661 2650. If I remember correctly they had a special on & it was $2.75 for 100 bags + S&H. These bags are good quality & I highly recomment them. Once your cards are in these bags you could attach them to any kind/size of book/paper you wanted. Hope this helps, Liz

is another great resource for clear envelopes of all sizes. I use these for ALL of my cards, whether I'm mailing them, using them for a display board, or saving them for my card basket. It keeps them protected from the natural oils on people's hands and keeps them from getting ripped, torn and any other sort of damage.

I've also found a sheet of plastic pockets that I put the cards in to display also.

I got a 5.5x8 binder from the office supply store, then ordered sleeves for it. I put my cards in two to a sleeve, back to back.

Try the clear plastic sleeves made for pages that go in 6"x6" scrapbooking albums. You can can get presentation covers to fit them, or trim down regular 8-1/2"x11" ones.

Thanks to everyone for all the ideas! Something to think on....
