actually "do not fold spindle or mutilate" was NOT written on every punched card. the standard IBM card form that they sold the most of was just a plain card with 80 copies of the digits "0" through "9" printed on it and the IBM form number in small print near one corner. the card forms on which "do not bend fold spindle or mutilate" WAS printed on (in large print) were usually billing forms to tell the clerk processing them not to damage them before returning them with the payment so their account could be properly credited for the payment. spindling especially was a very common practice at the time of clerks to keep papers on their desk organized, but it punched a hole in each paper spindled!the 80 column rectangular hole IBM card was invented in 1924, it is unclear by who, probably a group, as a replacement for Herman Hollerith's 45 column round hole card.Herman Hollerith's original 1890 punch card was even smaller. I have no idea where the idea it was the size of an 1890 dollar bill came from, I have seen samples of the 1890 census punched cards and they aren't much different in size from an ordinary 3x5 index card.
You can write small so that you can get more information on the card. To keep information separated on the card, you can fold the card and write different subjects within the fold lines.
Unless you fold it I don't think you can.
use paper and fold it and color or paint
card-table
get two strips of card fold them on top of each other and stick in a card.
Hold the paper so that the front of the card is in the top left, and the picture is facing you. Fold the whole top half away from your body (hamburger style) so the Front and Back of the card are facing away from you. Then face the front of the card towards yourself without unfolding the paper, and fold the front away from you. -
