🎄 FAQ: Gatefold Christmas Cards


1. What makes gatefold cards different from regular Christmas cards?

The “gates” — two flaps that open from the center.
They feel premium, impressive, and a little theatrical.
Flat cards are the appetizer.
Gatefolds are the entrée.


2. Are they more expensive?

Slightly — but the value is massive.
You get:

  • More design space

  • A better presentation

  • A higher-quality feel

And at Go Print Plus, we price them way better than the national brands.


3. What size do they come in?

Most popular: 5x7 gatefold
But we can do custom sizes too — just ask Lisa ;)


4. Can I add multiple photos?

Absolutely!
Inside spread + panels = the perfect layout for:

  • Kids’ photos

  • Family group shots

  • New baby announcements

  • Pets (we love a festive dog pic)


5. Do I need special envelopes?

Nope — we size them to fit standard envelopes.
But…

Get the envelope liners. Trust me.

🎄 Mini Story: “Why My Neighbor Diane Lost Her Mind Over My Gatefold Card”

I sent out my gatefold Christmas cards last year, and here’s the actual text I got from my neighbor, Diane:

“HOW DID YOU SEND ME A CARD THAT OPENS LIKE A HALLMARK MOVIE INTRO?!”

Then she added:

“I showed it to my sister. She thinks you’re rich now.”

So there you go.
Gatefold = wealth vibes, whether you’re ballin’ or budgetin’.
