Mead 3 x 5-Inch Index Cards, Ruled, 100 Count, White (63350) Pack Of 6

I have received three separate requests to review my purchase of these 3x5 cards, so it must be important to somebody. I use 3x5 cards every day. I'm a list maker. I carry a 3x5 leather wallet in my hip pocket at all times. These cards are important to me. I was running out so I start looking at possible products available on Amazon for resupply. Much to my surprise, some 3x5 cards got very bad reviews. Too thin ... inconsistent lines ... inconsistent size ... holy cow!!! I thought this would be easy. After much thought, consideration and analysis, I decided on these cards. I placed my order and got my delivery in two days as promised. They were well packaged. I did not find any broken cards. In fact, there was no apparent damage to the internal package of six packs of 100 cards. I have opened one pack. In that pack I found cards that were 3 inches by 5 inches. I took out my steel rule and measured them to be 7.6 cm x 12.7 cm. All appear to be of consistent size. So far, so good. I held one up to the light. It appeared to be of sufficient thickness. I wrote on one with a gel pen. I turned it over and could not see any evidence of what I had written on the front from the back. I then held it up to my ceiling light (two 60 watt bulbs about four feet away). Uh oh!! I could see writing!!! But, the words were backwards. This doesn't bother me but it may be of concern to you. I have used several of the cards to take notes and make lists. Everything that I have written is legible, although I did find a few misspelled words. None of the cards have broken under normal use, although I have not exposed them to abnormal use. When I open the second pack, I will subject them to the same rigorous testing. If I find any differences in the test results, I will update this review. Until then, I can highly recommend this product from this vendor. However, since I have not experienced any issues, I have not tried the vendor's customer service. I can't comment on the replacement policy if you break a card. Let me know if this review helps you.

Arrived on time and perfectly wrapped. Noticed a few of the cards in one bunch were cut longer than the others but this is hardly an issue for my needs, which is basic studying purposes. Each pack of 100 is wrapped individually which helps keep them compacted until needed and with the exception of the 6 that were slightly longer than the rest, they were all of equal quality. Rated for the amount received, price and acceptable quality of the cards.

My kid needed index cards for school. These worked great. They aren't really heavy duty, but they aren't terribly thin either. Unless you plan on using permanent marker on them heavily, they work well for most projects.

These are average index cards. They are not the thickest, but they are not too terribly thin either,

Classic 3x5 cards. Get these Mead 3x5s (SKU 63350) instead of some crappy off-brand. The weight (thickness) is a little lighter than some like, but they are just the right thickness for my purposes. The ink lines are uniformly crisp and the right amount of contrast (not too dark or light), an issue which I find cards that are made cheaper have serious problems with. If you are using them for flash cards, for crying out loud don't use some thick-tipped Sharpie to write on them, of course the ink will bleed through. Use a fine point marker, pen or (yes) even a pencil. ("A pencil? What is this, the GD paleolithic era?!" If you look around you should be able to find them in bulk for about a penny a card.

These are the only index cards I buy now! I tried several other brands and found that they were flimsy... practically see-through. These are much better quality! I have even written on them with Sharpie pens and highlighters, and I have never had a problem with seeing through the cards (unless I'm really really trying...). I highly recommend these!

Quite a deal. I got about six times as many cards for less money than other vendors. The cards were fine, everything arrived on time. Pretty much exactly what you'd want and expect when ordering index cards online.

Can't get enough of 3x5 cards. I use them for everything from shopping lists to study aids. These are inexpensive, and it shows in that if you write on them with a Sharpie marker it will bleed through to the back some. So, they are best for writing on with a pen not a marker.
