That is why it is very important that you pay attention to your envelope printing.
Your custom envelopes can be intended for different purposes. You can send billing invoices, invitations, business correspondences, and announcements through your print envelopes. You should also be reminded that it is also vital for you to match your envelope printing with its content. So before you deal with your envelope printing company, it is better that you take time to read the various examples written below.
Commercial Envelope This type of envelope is used for basic business communication. You can use it in sending checks, invoices, billing statements and other forms of letters of your company. Usually, this kind of envelope uses a paper size of 9 or 10. You can also add an address window.
Announcement Envelope - This kind of envelope, unlike the former example, is used for circumstances that require more formality. Most of the time, the flap of this envelope is square in order to provide a modern appearance. You can use this envelope in sending your holiday cards, greeting cards, invitations, small booklets, photographs and other promotional materials. More often than not, it utilizes the A size papers.
Baronial Envelopes This is somewhat akin to an announcement envelope. The only difference between the two is their flap. The former uses a square flap while this one utilizes a flap that has a sharp point. You can also use this kind of envelope for invitations such as personal announcements like weddings, birthdays, and christenings.
Booklet Envelope If you are finding an alternative for mailing booklets, catalogs, and folders, then this envelope is the right option. You can use this envelope to mail your brochures, sales materials, annual reports, and promotional folders to your customers and business partners. The flap of this envelope, which is on the long side, provides more durability and protection compared to other types of envelope. You can also call this a one-side envelope.
Catalog Envelope If you will be sending documents that are heavy and thick, then this is the most highly recommended envelope. You can use this when you want to send out booklets, catalogs, and magazines. You can also call it an open-end envelope since its flap is on the short side of the envelope.
Envelopes vary and the type you choose would depend on the purpose, as well as the budget you have in your business.
