Custom envelope printing
The envelope decides whether the rest of the mailing gets read. It is the only part of a direct mail piece that is guaranteed to be seen, and a plain white carrier with a stuck-on label reads as bulk mail before anyone opens it.
We print envelopes directly rather than labelling them, in standard commercial sizes and in custom formats built for the insert. That means the address, the message, the return address and any teaser copy can all be printed in one pass, and any of them can change from one envelope to the next through variable data printing.
What we produce
Standard commercial envelopes
#10 business envelopes, window and non-window, plus the full range of booklet, catalogue and A-style sizes. Printed one to four colours, with or without a window, and produced to fold and insert cleanly on a machine rather than jamming a line.
Remittance and reply envelopes
Business reply and courtesy reply envelopes for donation, invoice and renewal programs, printed to postal specification so they qualify and are not returned. The reply device is where a donor appeal either converts or does not, so it is worth building properly.
Announcement, invitation and social stationery
Heavier stocks, printed liners, and matching card sets for weddings, galas and corporate events. Liners are a small cost that changes the whole impression when the flap opens.
Specialty and oversized formats
Custom die cut shapes, oversized formats for bulky inserts, and full-bleed printing to the edge. Anything outside a stock size is made from a flat blank and converted, so the print can run right across the seams.
Printing, addressing and mailing in one place
Most envelope jobs are really mail jobs. We print the envelope, print the insert, apply addressing with inkjet in line, machine insert, presort and drop with USPS, all in the same building.
That matters because every handoff between a printer, a lettershop and a mail house is a chance for a date to slip or a count to go wrong. Handled together it is one schedule and one number to call. See direct mail and every door direct mail.
What to tell us when you ask for a quote
- Finished size, and what is going inside it
- Window or no window, and where the address will sit
- Quantity, and whether it repeats
- Whether it is being mailed, and at what postal class
- Whether anything on it changes per recipient
Tell us the quantity, size, stock and deadline and we will quote it. Request a quote, upload a file, or call (504) 524-8248.
