Window Envelopes Pricing and Costs

Prepare your budget for the recurring expense of purchasing window envelopes

Window envelopes provide a time efficient way to mail promotional material, invoices and other statements to your customers. The price you pay for these envelopes depends on the size of the envelope, the quantity ordered and the features desired.

Because most businesses use more than one style of window envelopes, consider all of the following window envelopes pricing and costs to prepare your budget:

1. Use single window envelopes for customers to remit payments or send in other correspondence.

2. Eliminate the need to place address labels or write the return address on the envelope.

3. Remember to purchase envelopes for special correspondence such as prospectus reports or contracts.

 

Purchase single window envelopes

Single window envelopes are ideal to use for customers to remit payments or other information to you if your business uses pre-printed payment cards that contain your address. You can also use these to mail statements, invoices and other forms as long as the paper is folded so the mailing address shows through the window. Full face windows are ideal to use if you want to show off an advertisement that is printed to show the customer's address.
