3x5 Recipe Cards: uses, sizes and printing tips
Smaller 3 × 5 inch recipe cards for classic recipe boxes — four per landscape page with name, servings and times, ingredients and directions.
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
- Ask family members to handwrite their recipes — the handwriting becomes part of the keepsake.
- 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.
FAQ
Is 3x5 big enough for a recipe?
For short recipes, yes. Use the back or choose the 4 × 6 cards for longer ones.
Can I make a family recipe book?
Collect relatives’ recipes on matching cards and copy them into a binder or photo album.
Can I print the cards double-sided?
Yes. The cards are centered on the page, so the front and back line up when your printer flips on the long edge. Print one test sheet first.
Is it free, and do I need an account?
It is completely free with no sign-up and no download. Change the settings, print it or save it as a PDF, and bookmark the address — your settings are stored in the link.
