Available in many different sizes, Envelopes can contain a variety of materials. Digital Envelopes are ideal for shorter runs, such as invitations, birthday or holiday cards, or special promotions. Keep in mind that Digital Envelopes can be printed with a maximum of 40% ink coverage and can only be printed on the front, and can not include bleed. Be sure to allow room for addressing and postage. If you would like to print additional content on the Envelopes after receiving them, such as addresses, you should not experience any issues as long as your printer is less than 400 ° F.
The most common order options are #10 Regular Envelopes (9.5" x 4.125") on #24 Classic Crest Writing bond weight paper and are designed to match the company letterhead. They always print in full colour on one side (4/0) and do not have coating. #10 Envelopes fit standard 8.5" x 11" letterhead folded in thirds.
Note: Due to differences in the printing process, colors on Offset and Digital Envelopes are unlikely to be a perfect match with each other.
