I'm looking to set up a line of greeting cards. I don't want to print my own - will use 4x6 prints glued on the front of foldover cards.
Suggestions please re sources of good quality fold-over stock with envelopes and protective clear covers?
Thanks in advance!

Sandy, have you thought about using frame cards?
For what it's worth, I've purchased other items from clearbags.com and I've been very happy with them.
You might consider Photographer's Edge. Their stuff is very nice. I made sets of cards using Photographer's Edge products a few years ago. I gave them as gifts. The cards were too nice, everyone just kept them instead of using them.
This isn't exactly what you're asking but I had all of my greeting cards printed by Dan Norris at Canyon Color Graphics. His service is second to none and his prices were WAY more affordable than anywhere else I found, making it easy to make a profit on the cards. And, the print quality was exceptional. Frankly, I think it's a much more professional option than making your own or using one of the frame style cards. If I recall correctly, he can do batches as small as 250 quantity/each image. If you don't need that many, Photographer's Edge is a good option.

Sandy, I have used Photographers Edge for years and would recomend them unless you are doing large numbers. It does take time to fix the photo to the card. I believe they have a service available where they will put your photo on the card for you for a small fee. I also use their line of calendars.
