Avery Printable Note Cards for Inkjet Printers - 50 Heavyweight Textured Cards & Envelopes (4.25" x 5.5") - Perfect for Thank You Notes, Invitations & Business Correspondence (3379)

This product works as well as described. Good as OEM.I like these because of their ease of use and design capability, however, they did not feed through my printer's bypass tray without jamming, but they did feed through the regular way, however, that led to bleeding onto the cards which bypass tray feeding eliminatesI love creating and gifting thank you cards for my friends, new moms and newly married couples. I like to personalize the designs and put them together with ribbon. It makes for a thoughtful, well received gift that has never been duplicated. Avery has a nice line of templates that are easy to use and when I print them myself at home I save a lot of money!Very nice to use will use againThe cost of greeting cards is very high, I have a large family and use these to make my own greeting cards for birthdays, anniversaries and any other occasion where I need a card.I haven’t used these in a printer. However I have used marking pens, water colors, and acrylics on them as well as water color pencils. I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of this card stock for the price. If using water color, use very little water. But it doesn't bleed through. The markers brought paper away on them. The acrylics are probably the best medium unless you use a printer.I was so impressed I bought a 2nd set before the price went up. I make my own birthday cards. Even at $.50 each at the Dollar Tree Store, these beat that price. It gives me a chance to be creative too. Plus the envelopes are included. If I run out and they're still around at this bargain price, I’ll certainly buy them again. I highly recommend them.I print greeting cards because I hate the sentiments printed on the inside of store bought cards and the choice of blank cards is very limited. I'm not a big card sender but I'm married and need cards several times a year. It's easy to make blank cards and this paper gives nice results with even an inexpensive printer. I use the Avery software but there are templates for this size card available for lots of software. I figure this package will last me for at least a couple of years and I'll have the satisfaction of being able to send cards that don't embarrass me.I have been designing different types of cards for many years. I have done everything from business cards to Christmas cards. Never, ever, has it been this complicated. First of all, the sheet has no perforations, you have to cut the center line in order to separate each sheet to become two cards. Ridiculous! Second, instead of providing a software download, as Avery used to do, you now have to do your designing on their website. It's overly complicated and I wasn't even able to print out a sample because when you save your prototype to your computer, rather than their website, you need to download an app from the Microsoft store in order to open it, even though the instructions claim that you can open it with Adobe Reader. I wasted $14.95 on these labels which, by the way, were bent in one corner (see picture). I would send them back, but I need the envelopes. I'm creating my own template in my no-cost version of Word. I gave the Print Quality 3 stars because I was unable to print it at all, but didn't want to be unfair. Value for money? It shouldn't get any stars, but you have to click something. The thickness was good. I will be using either cardstock or photo paper (printable on both sides) for my final product. It's going to be a lot more work than I expected to have to do, but I have no options. I've learned a lesson, though...I'll never buy Avery products again unless I can find no other alternatives.It arrived well packed from the US.Excellent value. Good quality card and envelopes easily modified to place your own verse and change the wording on the front of the card.Well worth the price paid. I would recommend this product to anybody who has to say thank you.4 stars because the paper is only scored for folding across the centre of the 11" dimension for the first fold. A second score at the centre of the 8.5" side for the second fold of a quarter fold paper, I feel, should be included. I have my own scoring tool but it is still nuisance.Great buy! love these cards and I am just finishing up the ones I am making for Christmas. Came in quickly when I ordered it, I am going to order more!Good product but arrived damaged. It was shipped in a bag instead of a boxSorry, but these cards are NOT heavyweight and should not be advertised as such. I will not reorder this particular brand again. Use Avery 5315 instead.
