How do I get a replacement wallet insert?

Plastic wallet inserts come in several shapes and sizes. First, you should consider the style of wallet that you have. Second, you need to consider what you are able to spend. Third, you need to consider where you can to purchase them.

One popular style of wallet is the trifold that has three sections that fold over each other around one in the middle. These wallet inserts are generally open on the long side with the spine of the insert inside the inmost fold. These wallet inserts also come in a top-loading configuration. These inserts are usually best for pictures and cards.

Another style of wallet is the billfold (bifold or bi-fold) wallet that has two sides that fold together in a clam-shell fashion. The inserts for the billfold wallet are often held in the wallet by placing the flap into one side of the wallet’s pocket. These wallet inserts are usually open on the short side where the opening is on the middle side of the wallet in a landscape orientation. This is also known as a passcase style.

While less common overall, the hipster wallet style has a very devoted following. The wallet inserts for the hipster wallets may be described as ’staggered’ as the pages are not one on top of each other. Customers often refer to the hipster wallet inserts as ’stair stepped’ in design. Here is a picture. Hipster Wallet Insert

Two popular options on wallet inserts include the key tab and the fancy edge. The key tab (or keytab) that is a small pouch on the flap that can hold a small key. The second option is the fancy edge which has a more decorative edge on the seal for the plastic. This edge is less than 1/16 of an inch, but some consider that it is a nice enhancement.

The best way to size your replacement wallet insert is to measure your original insert. Take the measurement on both length and width sides while counting the number of pages. Usually, a trifold wallet insert is going to be a credit card holder size insert. The picture holder wallet insert is slightly larger, but also has the option of using acid-free vinyl to prevent transfer of the picture to the vinyl insert.
