As good a product without the high price

I was looking for an Avery product when I noticed this product on the shelf. Dimensions and description were identical to Avery but the price was 1/3 the cost. Tried it. Loved it!
The card stock prints okay but the color isn't as white as the Avery. The scoring to separate the page into 2 cards works okay. The scoring to assist in the folding isn't as good as the Avery it purports to replace.
What do you get for the couple who doesn't need anything for their wedding gift? I made them customized matching place cards and thank cards. Saved them time and money and it came out sooo cute! They loved them and me!
I have used all different brands of ready-made notecards and find the Staples brand to be of the best quality for the price. Images are crisp and clear when using an inkjet printer (on best quality setting). Quality is professional-grade. I often use them for invites stationery thank you notes and other materials which I custom design and they never disappoint! Pre-scoring works well and envelopes print nicely too.
I wanted to print some of my own art cards at the print center and asked about paper options. I wanted prefolded cardstock and was told I could buy something off the shelf. I purchased this stationary and tried a few at home on my printer to be sure it lined up well. Then I returned to the store to have the better color quality of the print center only to find out that this paper did not feed through their machines and kept jamming. I Had to print on regular card stock and fold them myself. Disappointing.
The paper stock is heavy enough and feels like a more expensive card. The printing quality was excellent on my epson printer with a matte paper profile. ( compared with Avery and Strathmore cards)
Package did not mention it was quarterfold and my Xmas cards were already set up for half fold stock. I returned this pkg and bought 2 pkgs of half fold as I make a lot of cards
