    Hi! :whiteflag:
    Who is right way, the correct word, to describe a card consisting of 2 sheets (4 pages); Diptych card? Greeting card? or otherwise?
    Thanks for your help.

    There are several possibilities.
    Is it like this card?

    I just call them "double-wide". If it has 4 x (not 2 like this one), you could say "4-wide" or "quadruple". I think most Americans would understand that; the English may have another word. I also think that you don't need that in the title just the description; there aren't too many collectors looking for that type specifically and the image will tell the story.

    Or, is it like this:
    Link (http)

    These are referred to as 'folders' in the US. I do get asked for Folders at shows from time to time, so that would be a good word to use in the title in case someone is searching for them.

    Or does the card have some pages you can pull out or unfold from the front of the card (maybe open a little door or pull up on a sign?) Use words like "pull out" or "flap" or even "mechanical" (although not everyone would consider these mechanical, I think.)

    Hope this helps!
