Tefillas Haderech Laminated Bi-Fold Card, Retro Design #189

Tefillas Haderech on a glossy laminated bi-fold card, 4.5 by 6.25 inches, printed in a deliberately retro design — the styling is period rather than modern, which is why it stands out among the plain white cards most people have floating around a glove compartment.

Laminated is the only sensible way to make this. A Tefillas Haderech card lives in a car, a carry-on or a stroller pocket, where paper is finished within a month. This one folds once, wipes clean, and stays legible after a summer of being sat on. There is nothing to configure — one card, one tefillah, ready to go in a visor or a wallet.

It can be customised with a school or company logo, which is how it is most often bought: an agency, a school, or a business ordering a run before travelling season and putting one in every family's hand. As a gift it works for someone about to travel, and buying five means every car in the family has one.
