The measure word is used for flat objects. When used with paper objects it can be loosely translated as being a “sheet.” Take a look at the following examples of other usage:

一张票.
一张照片.
一张纸.
一张桌子 – This example requires a bit more imagination as it differs from the previous examples of “flat objects.”

Unlike English, the word is required to congratulate or pass on good wishes as illustrated in the following examples:

祝你生日快乐
祝你好运
祝贺
