They should be bent such that the edges that curl up are the longer edges.
It's a slight bend, and definitely shouldn't be creased. An ok test for
if the bend is ok is this: (1) drop a heavy book on the bent card, and the
card should flatten out slightly, and (2) try picking up the card quickly
immediately afterwards, you shouldn't have to scratch your nails across
the table to pick it up.
Also, make sure the bent-up sides are on the blank side, not the
already-printed side.
Thanks Brown!
