How to design Tent Fold Greeting Cards?

Here are some simple steps to help you design great Tent Fold Greeting Cards with not one, but two quick and easy guides, plus plenty of templates to use!

Method 1 – Single Pages

All pages should be supplied as four single pages in the correct order, as per the image above.

Start with the front cover, then inside front, inside back (where the message is normally wrote) and lastly the back cover.

They all should be the right way around (i.e. not upside down), which is what we call ‘right reading.’

Method 2 – Spreads

Spreads are where the inner and outer pages are joined together to form a single page, as per a final printed piece.

This is shown by the dotted line which separates your two pieces of artwork in the image above.

Please supply your artwork in the following order – Back cover, Front cover, inside front, inside back.

The only part of your design or artwork that needs to be rotated, to be upside down, is the text or image on the back cover, which is the first piece of artwork.
