Description
Overview

Printed Envelopes

The first thing opened and the first thing judged — a format defined by postal machinery.

Envelopes are made to postal specifications before anything else. Window position, gum type and paper weight all sit inside those constraints.

What We Make

The full kit of capabilities.

Standard and Custom Sizes
DL, C5, C4, square and bespoke formats.
Window Positioning to Template
Aligned to your actual letterhead layout.
Gummed and Peel-Seal
Chosen from your stuffing workflow.
Machine-Insertable Specs
Confirmed against your inserting equipment.
Matched Stationery Sets
Same stock and colour as letterhead and slips.
Interior Tints
Opacity for privacy, plus a detail noticed on opening.
Kraft and Recycled Stocks
Natural and sustainability-led options.
Foil and Spot Colour
Premium finishing for invitations and correspondence.
Full-Bleed Heavy Coverage
Printing happens on the finished envelope, so heavy ink across seams and flap edges reproduces unevenly. Leave a margin.
Choosing Window Position Later
The window has to align with your letter template. Deciding afterwards means redoing the envelopes or every document template you own.

Sizing & dieline.

Every Custom Printed Envelopes is cut to a dieline built around your product — not pulled off a shelf. Send us the length, width and height of the item (or the item itself) and we return a measured dieline, free, before you commit to anything.

How to measure
01
Measure the product

Length, width and height of the item itself, at its widest points — not the box you happen to use today.

02
Add clearance

Allow 2–4 mm on each axis for a snug fit, and more if you are adding foam, a pillow insert or tissue.

03
Give us the order

We quote as Length × Width × Height. Tell us whether you are working in millimetres or inches and we match it.

What It Costs

Pricing & minimums.

Custom Printed Envelopes is priced per specification rather than from a fixed list — the same box in two different finishes can land at very different numbers. Below is what actually moves the price, so you can shape the spec before you request a quote.

What moves the price
Quantity

The single biggest lever. Unit cost falls sharply as volume rises, because setup and tooling spread across more pieces.

Material and thickness

Board weight and stock choice change both the raw material cost and the shipping weight of the finished run.

Finishing

Foil, spot UV, embossing and soft-touch each add a pass on press. One or two lift the box; five compound the cost.

Print coverage

Full-bleed print inside and out costs more than a one-sided design on natural stock.

Inserts and hardware

Foam, moulded pulp, velvet pillows, magnets and ribbon are priced per piece on top of the box itself.

Timeline

Standard production is the base rate. Rush moves you up the production queue and carries a surcharge.

— Frequently Asked Questions —

Questions, answered.

Everything you need to know about Custom Printed Envelopes.

Send us your letterhead template — the actual document your letters are generated from — before we set the window position.

A window envelope only works if the recipient address printed on your letter lands precisely inside the aperture. That alignment is a relationship between two things: where your template puts the address block, and where the envelope's window sits.

If the window is positioned first and the template checked afterwards, you usually discover a mismatch — and then you either scrap the envelopes or change every document template in the business, including anything generated automatically by your accounting or CRM system. The second is often much harder than it sounds.

Practical points:

  • Allow tolerance. Paper shifts slightly when folded and inserted, so the address should sit comfortably within the window rather than filling it exactly.
  • Check the fold. A DL envelope takes A4 folded in three, and where the address lands depends on getting that fold consistent.
  • Test with a real printed letter in a sample envelope before committing to a full run.
