Card and envelope sizes: calculate a matching template

Use the finished card size to draw a folded blank, then allow clearance when choosing an envelope.

Common metric paper rectangles

Draw from your own finished size

For a side-fold card, flat width is twice finished width; height stays the same. For a top fold, double the height instead.

Envelope clearance

The envelope’s usable pocket must exceed the card’s dimensions. Layers and inserts need extra space. The generator accepts your chosen pocket size; it does not promise a postal format or fit.
