Double greeting card C6 Clairefontaine Pollen by Clairefontaine, gold, 210 g/m², pH-neutral acid-free paper

Pollen by Clairefontaine double greeting card in C6 format is a single folded card made from 210 g/m² pH-neutral, acid-free paper with a gold finish. Sized to fit 110 x 155 mm envelopes, this card is intended for invitations, greeting notes, announcements and other personal stationery where a heavier, archival-quality paper is preferred. The surface accepts pens, pencils and light printing methods while preserving written content over time due to its acid-free composition.

Advantages

The 210 g/m² weight offers a substantial feel and stable fold without adding excessive bulk. Acid-free, pH-neutral stock reduces the risk of yellowing and deterioration, making the card suitable for keepsakes. The gold finish provides a refined appearance appropriate for formal and celebratory uses. The single-piece folded design simplifies assembly and handling compared with separate card and envelope sets.

Suitable for

• Invitations to small events, dinners or private gatherings
• Greeting cards for birthdays, anniversaries and holidays
• Announcements such as birth notices or formal notices
• Handwritten notes, RSVP cards and short messages

When it may not be suitable

This card is not intended for heavy-duty printing processes such as full-coverage commercial offset or high-ink digital prints that require coated stock. Very dense photographic printing may not reproduce optimally on the textured gold finish. If you need perforations, tear-off sections or pre-scored multi-panel layouts, this simple folded card design will not provide those features.

How to use

Write directly onto the interior or exterior surfaces with pens or pencils suitable for uncoated stock. For printed content, use light ink coverage on compatible home or office laser and inkjet printers; test one card first to confirm print alignment and ink absorption. Fold along the pre-creased edge if needed, and insert the card into a 110 x 155 mm envelope. Store unused cards flat in a cool, dry place to preserve the acid-free paper quality.

Usage recommendations

For best results, handwrite messages with archival ink pens or fine pencils and avoid heavy ink coverage when printing. Allow printed or written ink to dry completely before stacking to prevent smudging. Keep cards flat and protected from direct sunlight to maintain the gold finish and acid-free properties over time.
