Present On The Way Card

I think everything has been sent in time to arrive before Christmas this year, but I know couriers were struggling with record volumes of parcels before the Christmas rush.

If your order from me hasn’t arrived yet and you want something to let the recipient know it’s on its way, I made this little printable parcel card:

The idea is that it folds in to make a sealed parcel that is opened page by page to reveal the gift and has a space for you to write a note.

It’s very basic to use.

  1. Print the PDF/JPG on slightly thicker paper with a colour printer if possible, but in the example video I’m using a back and white laser printout as that’s all I have in the studio

  2. Cut around the outline.

  3. Turn it over and fold the pages in this order - Question mark, business card, parcel flap without label, parcel flap with label (see the YouTube video from 1:45 onwards if this doesn’t make sense)

  4. Open the flaps back out and write your note on the white square left at the bottom of the ‘box’.

  5. Close the flaps back up in that sequence and seal it shut with a little glue or tape
