To anwer your last question first. Yes it does but it doesn't seem to cause problems. I made sure my extra was at the top so it wouldn't fold under.
As far as thickness. Shirt cardboard maybe a little thicker. And they do come in different widths.
I found this which gives you all the sizes.

It doesn't sound like it works and not everyone will like them but I love the way in cut down on the space I needed and how neat, finally, my fabric looks. Its exactly what I needed.I tried the different foldings and storage in baskets and on shelves. I could never keep it all neat.
