The look, feel, and color of an envelope can improve response rates, present a particular image, or evoke a desired emotion.

When designing an envelope consider the printing process, color, texture, recycled content, and paper weight to eliminate showthrough and minimize mailing costs, budget, deadline, and if the perception of quality is important to the intended audience.

Anatomy of an envelope Envelopes can be manufactured in an almost endless number of sizes and shapes. It is important to specify how the envelope should open for aesthetic reasons as well as for functional considerations. Some constructions are suitable for laser and machine inserting applications; others should be tested first. Almost all envelopes stem from two basic constructions: they are either open side or open end.

Open end envelopes have the opening and seal flap on the short dimension. Open end envelopes are well-suited to hand insertion applications. Larger, open end envelopes are also called catalog envelopes.

Open side envelopes have the opening and seal flap on the long dimension.

Open side envelopes are ideal for automatic insertion applications and wellsuited for hand insertion applications, as well.

When machine inserting envelope contents it is critical that you choose an envelope that is compatible with the inserting equipment that will be used.

Each inserting machine manufacturer provides specifications for the style and type of envelope which will perform well on their equipment. We recommend contacting your preferred mail house prior to ordering your envelopes to determine whether the contents of your envelope are compatible with their inserting machinery.

OPEN SIDE

OPEN END

How to measure an envelope > always measure an envelope with the flap side up > envelope size is always stated in inches with the shortest dimension first > the overall size is measured from the top fold to the bottom fold and from one side fold to the other > flap width is measured from the top fold score line to the tip of the flap > seal gum is measured from the top of the seal flap to where the gum line stops > throat depth is measured from the top fold score line to the lowest point on the bottom flap > side flap is measured from the side fold to its farthest point at the envelope center.

United States Postal Service guidelines The United States Postal Service (USPS) establishes regulations for the mailing of business and personal correspondence. The Domestic Mail Manual provides a list of requirements with which business mailings must comply for many types of mailings, and when applying for a postage discount. These requirements determine (among other things) acceptable envelope sizes, position and sequence of address lines, graphic restrictions, and mandatory clear zones. It is updated monthly online at www.usps.com.

This template is a convenient guide to the proper ratio of a mail piece’s length to height. It shows the minimum size of an acceptable mailing piece and the dimensions that are subject to a surcharge for first- or third-class pieces weighing up to one ounce. The USPS requires a height-to-length ratio to fall between 1-1.3 and 1 to 2.5. Mailing pieces that are outside these ratios will be subject to a surcharge. On this template, an in-standard envelope will have an upper right corner that falls within the shaded area.

To avoid a surcharge your envelope must be a minimum of 3.5 x 5 and a maximum of 6.125 x 11.5 inches. The maximum thickness is .25 inches.

Effective May 2011. Check upsp.com for the latest guidelines.

Envelope mailability template To avoid a surcharge your envelope must be a minimum of 3.5 x 5 and a maximum of 6.125 x 11.5 inches. The maximum thickness is .25 inches.

The aspect ratio of the mailing piece (length divided by height) must fall between 1.3 to 1 and 2.5 to 1. For example, a #10 envelope is 4.125 x 9.5 inches. The aspect ration is 2 to 3 so the envelope is mailable.

Template shows minimum and maximum sizes and aspect ratios.

Envelope printing There are two common methods for printing envelopes—offset lithography and flexographic printing.

Offset lithography offers the highest quality of envelope printing. It produces a clear, well-defined image area and provides excellent ink coverage. It is effective on many different paper surfaces from smooth and vellum to laid and felt. Offset printing can be done before or after folding.

After-fold envelopes are printed upon completion of the folding process.

Conversion envelopes are pre-printed on folio sized sheets which are then converted into envelopes.

Flexographic printing is done from plates on which the image to be printed is raised above the non-printing surface. Ink is applied to the raised surface while the surrounding areas are lower and do not receive ink. The inked image is then pressed directly onto the paper. High-speed flexography equipment uses water based inks for fast drying on the folding machine.

Envelopes can be printed prior to being run through the folding machine (before fold) or in-line on the folding machine.

Security tints Inside solid or patterned security tints are a popular method for adding privacy to check envelopes and other mail. There are many standard tint patterns available. In place of generic tints, customized tints can also be designed. These can include logos or messages that show through a window. Remember that full coverage of darker ink colors may show through the envelope paper, detracting from the envelope’s appearance.

Patterned security tints are available upon request.

Mohawk is North America’s largest privately owned manufacturer of fine papers and envelopes for commercial and digital printing. Signature brands include Mohawk Superfine,® Strathmore,® Inxwell,® and proprietary i-Tone® for HP Indigo. Mohawk papers are chosen for commercial printing, photo specialties and high-end direct mail. Products and samples are available through leading paper distributors and at mohawkpaperstore.com.

The company is leveraging connections in the digital, design and photo space to develop new tech offerings: Mohawk Maestro, a software solution for professional photographers and labs; Pinhole Press is a new consumer-facing photo brand; Felt and Wire Shop is an on-line marketplace for social stationery, posters, and prints.

This third-generation, family-owned business and certified Women-Owned Business Enterprise is constantly renewing its commitment to environmental stewardship. As the first U.S. manufacturer of commercial printing papers to match 100% of its electricity with windpower renewable energy credits and the first U.S. premium paper mill to shift toward carbon neutral production, its portfolio of recycled papers certified by Green Seal and the Forest Stewardship Council’s (FSC) standards, continues to grow along with the rest of the company.
