Print it

Page size

✕ Card sleeve is too big, so it gets its own full-size page. Try Tabloid or A3.
✓ Tape labels fill a sheet

Page 1 is the sleeve with its cut outline and fold marks, page 2 the tape labels. 300 DPI, 3 mm bleed. Print at 100%, never Fit.

Paper

14 pt (300 gsm) card, or 80 lb cover at home

Card stiff enough to hold its shape. Score every fold with a ruler and a dull blade, fold print side out, then glue the white tabs to the inside with a glue stick or double-sided tape. The sleeve needs an 11×17 or A3 sheet at home.
