What to Look for in Paper Envelopes
Paper envelopes look simple, but size, flap shape and paper feel decide how they work and how they look.
- Contents. Letters, invitations, cards, vouchers and documents need different sizes. Measure the largest item and add a margin so it slides in.
- Style. A classic four-flap, a wide landscape, a pocket envelope and a tall envelope all look different. Choose the one that suits your use.
- Paper weight and feel. A heavier paper feels premium, and a lighter one costs less to post. Ask what is possible.
- Closure. A gummed flap, a peel-and-seal strip, a tuck tab or a string each close the envelope differently.
- Postage. Size and weight set the postage. Check the finished size against your carrier.
Where Paper Envelopes Are Used
- Invitations and stationery sellers for weddings and events.
- Businesses sending letters, vouchers and gift cards.
- Retail shops that put a thank-you card or a coupon in each order.
- Schools and charities sending newsletters and appeals.
Artwork and Printing Tips for Paper Envelopes
- Plan the front, the back and the flap separately. A pattern on the flap shows when the envelope is open, and a logo on the front is seen on the table.
- Keep the address area clear if the envelope is posted. A pattern behind an address can make it hard to read.
- Our envelope dielines show the flat shape of many styles. Use one to see where the flap folds before you place artwork.
- A solid color inside a plain outside is a simple way to add style.
- Tell us your colors as Pantone or CMYK values, and ask about finishes such as foil stamping or spot UV if you want a premium look.
Planning Your Order
Measure the largest item you will send, decide the style and the closure, and check the postage size with your carrier. Think about how many envelopes you use in a year, since envelopes store flat and last.
Look at a sample for the paper feel. You can start with the Standard Sample Kit, which is $50 with shipping included, or pick another type from the Samples page. Your quote gives the pricing and minimums.

How much do custom paper envelopes cost?
Pricing depends on the size, quantity, material, printing and finishes. Request a quote and we will prepare pricing for your project.
How long does it take to get custom paper envelopes?
Timing depends on the product, the size and the quantity, and it is confirmed with your quote. Production starts once your artwork is approved and payment is received. Delivery usually takes another 4–5 working days, depending on the carrier and your location, so a typical order arrives in about 2 weeks and larger orders take longer. See the turnaround guide.
What size paper envelope do I need?
Measure the largest item you will send, and add a small margin. Send the size and we confirm what works.
How do I choose a paper weight for an envelope?
Match it to the contents. Light paper suits a single sheet, and a heavier paper suits cards and keeps their shape. Ask for a sample to feel the paper, and tell us the contents and how they are posted.
Can I choose a different envelope style?
Yes, there are many styles. Tell us what you need, and we confirm what is possible. Our envelope dielines show several.
Are paper envelopes strong enough to post?
They suit light items such as letters and cards. For flat items that must not bend, see cardboard envelopes.
