3x5 index cards
on January 9, 2014

I was disappointed in these cards. I would have liked them to be a little more sturdy. They are quite flimsy and don't hold up under a lot of usage. They are not satisfying to the touch wrinkle easily and sometimes cling together so that when you pick them up you are apt to pick up three instead of one. My need for 3x5 cards is for reminders and I like to make lists of things to be done lists for shopping things to remember. When I put one in my pocket or purse for shopping it crumbles and is almost like ordinary paper rather than a card. They do measure 3x5 and they are cards and so I will use them as such but next time I will pay attention to the weight of the stock before I order again.
My husband worked as an indexer prior to(and after) indexing working being done on computers. To him a plain white 3 x 5 card is the best medium for organizing thoughts taking notes and at this point in life on rare occations indexing.
The 3x5 cards are the ideal format on which to record my gag cartoons which I Write and Illustrate. I may never sell the artwork and ideas but I am having a great time in creating them. I now have over 83 700 ideas/cards. No they are NOT in any sort of order. That would be a little too perverse! If I decide to discard one idea I can use the other side for an alternate gag. The characters are—90% anyway—caricatures from life (the subway) and public areas; and the Internet (I love the faces in the mug shot Web sites.)
The quality of the cards is excellent for this type of everyday use. It work perfectly with both my laser printer and my regular printer. In the laser please fan the cards before using.
These are a great price and are perfect for school notecards or math flash cards. I have also used them for taking time sensitive notes and posting them on the fridge. They are also the perfect size for recipes or for making tags to put on gifts. To make it easier to make my flash cards I put them into the photo compartment in my printer & am able to print onto one side (they jam if you try & put back into the printer to print on the backside). It's usually best to print out the definition and then write the word on the back side. Definitely saves me on study time.
