Envelopes

Printed envelopes generally have two uses: to reinforce your brand for outgoing mail, or as reply-paid envelopes for marketing campaigns.

Accordingly we can print envelopes in full colour, perfect for brand promotion, or in black only, which is more suitable for mailing reply envelopes.

We have an arrangement with Royal Mail's Quality Assurance unit so we can check mailing envelopes intended for use with Royal Mail services meet their specifications and earn you the maximum discounts (eg. using barcodes and optically-readable fonts).

Envelope sizes and printing options

All of our envelopes are self-seal but we can source other types (gummed and peel-to-seal) on request. They are available in standard 90gsm (grams per square metre) white paper or premium 100gsm white paper.

We supply three sizes: DL, C5 and C4, with or without windows. They can be printed in full process colour or in black only, on the face side, the reverse side, or both.

Templates

We can lay out your envelope design and send proofs by email for no extra charge. Alternatively we have PDF templates available for all of our envelopes to help you design your own layout if you prefer.

C4 envelopes (229mm × 324mm) (accepts unfolded A4 paper)
