Printing Directions & Recommendations:

Upon purchase, you will receive high-resolution PDF files, ready for printing.

Format: Digital Download (PDF files)

Size: Each flashcard is designed as a square for easy handling and visual consistency. We recommend printing at a standard 3x3 inch or 4x4 inch size, but they can be scaled.

Paper: For best results and durability, print on heavy cardstock (65-110 lb) or photo paper. This will ensure your flashcards withstand daily use.

Lamination (Highly Recommended!): To protect against wear and tear, moisture, and make them wipeable, laminate the cards after printing and cutting. This significantly extends their lifespan.

Cutting: Use scissors or a paper trimmer to carefully cut along the outlines of each flashcard.

Display Options:

Attach magnetic tape to the back for use on a whiteboard or fridge.

Punch a hole in the corner and put them on a ring for a portable routine.

Stick them on a wall chart using Velcro dots.

Color Accuracy: Colors may vary slightly depending on your monitor and printer settings.
