Window Envelopes

Choose single, double or special sized window envelopes to save time and money

Window envelopes produce efficiency in time and cost by not having to address the outside envelope. Popular sizes include check (3 5/8 x 8 5/8 inch), #9 (3 7/8 x 8 7/8 inch) and #10 (4 1/8 x 9 1/2 inch). Much of the industry refers to these sizes as commercial envelopes. These envelopes come with a single, double or full face window. Customize your envelope with company logo or return address. Also, check out different colored envelopes to take your mailings way beyond white.

When selecting an envelope consider the type of adhesive seal. Latex, self-seal envelopes have a sticky substance on both flap and envelope back. The standard gum adhesive needs moisture to activate the flap. Peel and seal has a paper strip seal over the adhesive for quick sealing when removed.

Match window envelopes to your mailing needs:

1. Use single windows for general business mailings.

2. Choose double windows for checks and invoices with return address showing.

3. Move up to large size envelopes for booklets, brochures, annual reports or catalog mailings.

4. Create a custom window envelope with company logo, return address or promotional aspects for the customer to see.
