What Are Oxford Index Cards?
Oxford ruled index cards are sheets of cardstock cut into smaller sizes. Index cards were originally created to help people quickly look up information in large libraries and databases. Now, you would likely use Oxford note cards to write down key talking points and facts for a presentation. You can write on index cards using pens, pencils, or markers. Since they are cut from card stock, they are durable and more resistant to wrinkles and tearing.
What Size Are Oxford Index Cards?
Oxford index cards come in an array of different sizes, but the most common size is 3” x 5”. While sheets of copy paper are larger and ideal for printing, index cards are more portable and easy to store in your pocket. Many manufacturers use precision cut technology to ensure that each pack of Oxford blank index cards you buy is one uniform size. If you require more space to write down important notes and information, there are larger sizes available, like 4” x 6” and 5” x 8. Some index cards are narrow-ruled, meaning they have more lines to help you write smaller and squeeze everything on one card.
