How to choose the orientation of thank you cards?

Choosing the orientation of a thank you card depends on the design, content, and overall style you want to convey. Here’s a simple guide:

Portrait (vertical) orientation – Ideal for traditional, formal, or elegant designs. Works well for messages with a centered layout, long text, or vertical illustrations.
Landscape (horizontal) orientation – Great for modern or casual designs, wide images, or when you want the text to spread across the card. Perfect for group photos or scenic designs.
Folded cards – Orientation can affect how the inside text or image is displayed. Vertical folds feel classic, while horizontal folds often feel contemporary and spacious.

These finishes allow you to create visually striking, professional, and memorable cards that reflect your brand or personal style.
