Questions about flashcards

Why should I write my own flashcards?

So you can study in the most efficient way. While writing your flashcards, you’re already retaining information. Then you only repeat the flashcards you don’t already know.

Check out our thorough explanation.

I can make my own flashcards, so why would I buy them?

You can indeed make your own flashcards, which is easy when you’re dealing with small amounts. This website was created for people who use flashcards on a (semi) large scale, like ourselves.

Why are the flashcards so cheap?

We produce flashcards in large quantities at once, at the printing company. This means we can keep the costs low. Still, producing the flashcards involves a lot of manual work.

If you’re interested in knowing what happens prior to the delivery of your package, take a look at our page ‘How it’s made’.

I have an idea for a flashcard design

Cool! Contact us and tell us about your idea, and we will get to work. Our current range of flashcards is just the beginning, we can add so much more. For example, we created the Medicines, Law and checkered flashcards together with some of our customers.

I want personalised / adjusted flashcards

That’s possible, with an order starting at 10.000 flashcards. Contact us and we can talk about your wishes. You can also email to info@flashcardsandstationery.com or call to +31 85 060 74 44 during office hours.

Questions about ordering

Can I combine any flashcard type or design?

Yes, you can add any type or design of flashcard to your cart while you’re shopping. The discount per pack will automatically adjust in your cart. You can also create your own package.

How does perforating work?

All flashcards are standardly sold without perforations, unless it is explicitly mentioned with the product. For example, pre-made packages including perforation & click rings.

Do you want a full personal package and the flashcards perforated? Then go to “Accessories – Perforation and click rings”. Here you choose the number of packs that you want to have perforated. If you have 15 packs that you want to perforate, you choose “15 pieces”.

Do you want to perforate half of your order? Or a specific package? Simply enter it in the comments with your order.

Are there any hidden costs?

No, our prices always include VAT. The shipping costs are only € 3.49 for shipments in the Netherlands and only € 4.95 for Belgium, regardless of the size of your order. Check out our page about shipping and payment for more information. 

Why is there a minimum price for ordering?

We sell flashcards in large quantities, with minimal or no shipping costs. For an order below € 10,- we would have to charge higher shipping costs and we don’t want to do that. If the demand for small packages rises, we might change this in the future.

I want to order for multiple people at once

That’s possible, we’ve processed an order for an entire class before. When you order for more people at once you quickly get the benefit of free shipping. Do you want to order a really large amount, you should consider informing your school or educational institution. If we’re talking about very large numbers, it can often be done even cheaper.
