• Standard envelope sizes

 

 
Envelopes come in many different sizes, shapes and colors, from catalog to announcement to commercial. If you would like your next mailing project printed on a specific stock and prefer to use a matching envelope, it is a good idea to make sure the envelopes are available first. Not all stocks have matching envelopes, and although we can custom manufacture them for your project, it can often be costly. 

 

Please note that the standard dimensions listed below are the outside dimension of the envelope itself. Materials to go inside that envelope should be produced at least 0.125" smaller in each direction, depending on the stock used and the style of envelope. If you are unsure, call us prior to starting your design.
