4x6 Index Cards: uses, sizes and printing tips
Two 4 × 6 inch index cards per page with a header line and ¼ inch lines — more room for recipes, outlines and presentation notes than 3 × 5 cards.
How to print it
- Choose the card type and card size — the page fills with as many cards as fit, with light gray cut lines between them.
- Choose lined, blank, graph or dot cards where it applies, and portrait or landscape to change how many cards fit.
- Print on card stock for sturdy cards, or on plain paper for practice.
- Cut along the gray lines with a paper trimmer — the cards share cut lines, so there is no waste between them.
Tips
- Use 4x6 cards for speech notes — big enough for key points, small enough to hold.
- A paper trimmer gives straighter edges than scissors and is much faster for a full stack.
- Print a test on plain paper first if you are using expensive card stock.
