When your customer is creating a mailing, the envelope it\u2019s sent in will be the recipient\u2019s first impression\u2014they want it to be perfect! That means not only creating the right design but choosing the right envelope<\/a> for the job. So, which envelope is the right one for your customer?<\/p>\n

How Much Polish Does Their Mailing Need?
\n<\/strong>Finding an envelope to match the feeling of your customer\u2019s mailing is essential. Stationery envelopes<\/a> are designed to accompany letterhead, and come in stocks to match. They are good for communications that need an additional bit of professional polish, like official company letters or letters to important clients.<\/p>\n

Business envelopes<\/a>, on the other hand are a good option for everyday use in mailing invoices, account statements, and other informational pieces.<\/p>\n

And if your customer is looking for a way to send catalogs and other oversized documents, mailing envelopes<\/a> create a similar look to business envelopes but are made in larger sizes to suit those oversized contents.<\/p>\n

Big or Small?
\n<\/strong>When your customer is sending a large mailing or an informational piece, they might want to consider the size of that mailing piece. Smaller pieces like brochures or rack cards are a perfect fit for business envelopes. Even better than the perfect fit, a branded envelope is a great way to add a bit more professional polish to the mailing piece and another chance to incorporate the logo for an added boost to brand recognition.<\/p>\n

However, if your customers aren\u2019t familiar with envelope sizes, you might want to review the options with your customer: #6 \u00be (3 5\/8\u201dx 6 \u00bd\u201d), #9 (3 7\/8\u201dx8 7\/8\u201d) and #10 (4 1\/8\u201dx 9\u00bd\u201d). Our stationery envelopes<\/a> come standard in the #10 size.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, big documents like catalogs or booklets could do with a larger envelope, and we offer those, too! Choose from 6\u201dx9\u201d, 9\u201dx12\u201d, or 10\u201dx13\u201d to create a mailing envelope<\/a> sized for your customer\u2019s document.<\/p>\n

What Seal Do They Want?
\n<\/strong>Your customer might not give much thought to their envelope seal options, but they are also an important thing to consider. When they are looking at business envelopes<\/a>, standard gum flap envelopes are probably most familiar to your customers, using an adhesive that must be moistened before sealing the envelope.<\/p>\n

However, standard gum flap envelopes might not be a good choice for customers who are going to be sending many pieces of mail in a short period of time. Peel and seal envelopes use an adhesive strip with a peel-off cover, while flip and seal envelopes require a quick press to seal. Both of these are good options for larger mailings as a result.<\/p>\n
