Its very easy to forget how this industry began, so for those that need a reminder, read on .

The earliest Ancester of the printed envelope was used by ancient Babylonians fiveor six thousand years ago .Massages were written on to clay tablets. Which were baked on  to harden them. the Tablets were then covered with  more clay and baked again . the inner tablet could only be revealed by breaking open the outer layer of clay , Ensuring the security of the Message,

Here I have listed a few things to remember when placing an order for printing Envelopes.

1.  Fisrtly Envelopes are priced  per 1000 so you will need to Multiply your price by the Quantity you need

2. Printed Envelopes come in two main types Pockets or Wallets   

Pockets  have the flap on the short edge  and Wallets have the flap on the long Edge.

3. Envelopes come in lots of Different sizes, but the 3  most common are DL  C5 and C4

4. When placing your order you will be assumed to be supplying finished Artwork in PDF format online,

via email or on a disk. if your artwork is not correct or ready you will incure charges, this will also cause

a delay in the Production of your Printed Envelopes.

5. When  Designing your Printed Envelopes Here are a few tips

Most printed Envelopes need a white Border around the edge at least 5mm, but can vary from job to job.

Try to Avoid large solid areas of ink , also  if using a Printed Window envelope you will need to allow a border of 5mm around it.
