Make your first MARKFOLDS card

Overview

One workbench, two finished surfaces

Give the card one job. Use the Front for recognition and the primary message. Use the Back for the detail or action that completes it. MARKFOLDS brings the brief, format, visual direction, add-ons, and delivery choices into one coordinated pair.

Start with the customer's next need, keep both sides consistent, and remove copy that competes with the main message.

Choosing the message first? Read what to put in a package insert.

Writing a thank-you insert? See 12 business thank-you messages for online orders.

Choosing dimensions? Use the package insert size guide.

Starting from a layout? Compare packaging insert card templates.

Adding a scan action? Read the QR code package insert guide.

Splitting the message? Use the Front and Back insert design guide.

Planning a sympathy card? Read the sympathy card design guide for short wording and a calm layout.

Generation time varies by model and queue; progress shown in the workbench is estimated.

Card planning

Two workflows for a clear card system

Workflow 1: One card, one job

Write one sentence: “This card helps this customer take this next step.” Give the Front recognition and the main message; give the Back the detail or action that completes it.

1. Choose one need, such as thanks, product care, support, or a current loyalty benefit.
2. Keep the brand name, palette, and visual direction consistent across both sides. Remove messages that compete with the main job.
3. Review the saved pair for clear hierarchy, accurate words, and one useful next step.

Workflow 2: Match the card to the customer moment

• Thank-you: acknowledge the order and offer one useful continuation. Start with the thank-you insert workflow.
• Care: share approved product instructions. Use Care card or Product instruction card and check the wording against your product materials.
• Support: give a clear route to help. Choose Others and describe the support-card purpose; verify the contact or URL.
• Loyalty: explain one existing benefit, its terms, and the next step. Use the loyalty card planning guide.

Keep a separate brief for each card: purpose, approved wording, destination, visual direction, and review owner. Create only the cards the customer needs. This is a planning method; each design is created and checked separately.

Compare six insert layouts, then see where MARKFOLDS fits in your stack.

First insert

A practical start for a small store or agency

For a Shopify, WooCommerce, or other store, begin with one order moment and one card. Gather the approved brand name, short message, product facts, and any destination URL before opening the Generator.

1. Choose the card's job and read the relevant planning guide.
2. Check Product Facts and Pricing for current formats, credits, and availability.
3. Sign in, choose a supported card type, and add the brand or project details. Use the available brief and artwork-direction fields; keep Slogan within 80 characters.
4. Choose the format and visual direction. Add a supplied-URL static QR only when a scan helps the card's job.
5. Generate and inspect Front and Back. Check every word and any QR destination, revise the brief if needed, then confirm the saved version.
6. Download PNG or eligible SVG. Check the downloaded pair and arrange the next layout or printer review through the tool-stack handoff.

For agency work, keep each client's brief, approved assets, destination, and review decision separate in your own project records. Repeat the process for another card only when its job is clear.

Delivered

Coordinated Front and Back SVG artwork

Evidence

Customer-supplied photographs of both printed sides

This case shows one delivered customer project and the connection between the digital pair and photographed printed sides.

For your own project, record preparation time, review rounds, the approved artwork version, and the printer’s approval in your project notes. Use those records when comparing future cards.

Export / Retry

Finish, continue, or try again

Download PNG or use SVG when that option is shown for the saved artwork under the current plan. Continue in the Generator to revise the selected design, or use History to reopen it. Before production, check the final size, both sides, URLs, and QR destination, then use the selected printer's current template and approval process.

Use Product Facts for current delivery details, the tool-stack handoff for the next production step, the package insert size guide for format decisions, and the QR guide for destination and test steps.
