Cheap Envelope Printing

Price depends on envelope size, window configuration, color coverage on face and flap, quantity, and turnaround tier. Use the calculator for your exact total. Per-piece cost drops significantly at 500, 1,000, and 5,000-plus quantities, making custom printed envelopes more affordable than preprinted alternatives for high-volume direct mail campaigns.

#10 envelopes measure 4.125 x 9.5 inches and accept tri-fold 8.5x11 letterhead or a bi-fold letter with a reply card. They are the default format for business correspondence, invoices, nonprofit appeals, and most direct mail inserts. The #10 is automation-compatible with USPS postal equipment for barcode processing at volume.

Yes, on most commercial stocks. The face carries branding; the flap commonly holds a full-color return address or secondary message. Full coverage on both sides is achievable on standard wove stocks. Window stock has glue and die-cut zones where ink cannot be applied; we note all restrictions on your digital proof.

Yes on qualifying orders. Free Design Setup covers face layout, return address formatting on the flap, window alignment verification when you provide an insert PDF, and file conversion from your existing brand assets. Our designer emails a digital proof showing face, flap, and window position before production begins.

Window envelopes are ideal when your insert has a pre-printed address block that must show through the cutout, eliminating separate addressing of the envelope face. Non-window envelopes give full design freedom on the front for hand-addressed invitations, branded corporate mail, or campaigns where no insert address block exists.

24lb wove stock is the standard for #10 business and direct mail envelopes. It is opaque enough to hide contents in ordinary light, runs cleanly through inkjet and laser office printers for inserts, and meets USPS thickness requirements for automation processing. Heavier 28lb or 32lb stocks add a premium feel for invitations and high-value packages.

Standard production runs 3 to 5 business days after you approve your digital proof on most stocks. Rush production may be available when timing is critical. Window configurations and security tint options can add one business day to the production schedule. Carrier transit time is additional and depends on your destination zip code.

Always. We email a digital proof showing face, flap artwork, and window position relative to a sample insert before production begins. Review spelling, return address format, and barcode clearance zones carefully. We do not start production until you send written email approval, protecting you from expensive reprints on high-volume runs.

PDF with embedded fonts in CMYK color at 300 DPI is the preferred format. We also accept Illustrator EPS and AI files. For window alignment verification, include a PDF of your insert showing the address block position. Free Design Setup handles conversion from PNG, JPG, or Word files at no additional charge.

Minimums vary by envelope size and configuration; check the calculator for your selected format. Direct mail campaigns typically order 500 or 1,000 minimum for economical per-piece pricing. Short-run wedding or event invitation orders may have lower minimums at a higher per-unit cost, still well below rush rates at local copy shops.

Yes. Flap printing is standard for branded business envelopes. Free Design Setup formats your return address with correct USPS-readable type style and positioning on the back flap. Full-color logos and additional brand elements on the flap are common for nonprofit appeals and premium direct mail packages.

Smart pricing comes from efficient gang-run production scheduling, not inferior materials. You receive proper 24lb wove stock with sharp CMYK registration, clean folds, accurate die cuts, and human proof review on every order. Our competitive price reflects production efficiency, not a shortcut on paper weight or print quality.

Bleed is artwork extended 0.125 inch past the trim edges so printed color reaches all edges cleanly after cutting. Envelope production also has glue zones along flaps and seams where ink cannot be applied or it will prevent the envelope from sealing. We mark all restricted zones clearly on your digital proof.

Yes. Provide your existing stationery files or request Free Design Setup and we match color values, fonts, and logo placement across envelopes, letterhead, and business cards. Consistent stationery across all print touchpoints strengthens brand recognition in direct mail campaigns, corporate correspondence, and donor packages.

No hidden fees on standard envelope orders. The calculator total covers printing, selected options like windows or security tint, and your chosen shipping method. Free Design Setup and digital proof review are included on qualifying orders. No surprise charges appear after you approve your proof and confirm the order.

Yes. We print in Florida and ship custom envelope orders to all 50 states. Envelopes pack flat in cartons for safe transit without bending. Enter your zip code at checkout to see carrier options and transit time estimates. Flat-packed cartons typically ship at standard dimensional weight rates.

Production covers printing, folding, and gluing after proof approval, typically 3 to 5 business days. Shipping is the carrier transit time after your order leaves our facility. Both timelines are displayed at checkout. When your direct mail campaign has a fixed in-home date, calculate backward from your drop-off to set the proof approval deadline.

Yes, on selected stocks. Security tint is a printed pattern on the inside liner that makes contents difficult to read when held up to light. It is a standard requirement for financial statements, insurance documents, medical correspondence, and government mail where privacy and professionalism both matter to the recipient.

Options include 9x12 open-end catalog envelopes for brochures and booklets, smaller A-series invitation formats, and other commercial sizes listed in the calculator. Choose based on your insert dimensions so the piece fits cleanly without excessive folding, which can damage inserts and create an unprofessional presentation at the moment of opening.

Yes. Order brochure printing and matching envelopes together so your insert fits the selected size without extra folding or overhang. Request Free Design Setup and we align fonts, colors, and logo placement across both pieces so the brochure and its carrier envelope form a cohesive, professional direct mail package.

Self-seal peel-and-close flaps are available on selected commercial stocks. They eliminate the need for moistening and significantly speed manual stuffing and sealing on large mail runs. Check the calculator for availability on your chosen size and stock. Production lead time may be one business day longer on self-seal configurations.

Provide your insert PDF with the recipient address block clearly marked. We overlay the window position on the envelope proof so the full address shows through the cutout without clipping zip codes or unit numbers. Avoid placing critical art or decorative elements behind the window zone on either document.

Yes, when size, weight, barcode placement, and paper stiffness meet USPS automation standards. For bulk presort or permit mail, confirm specifications with your mail house before ordering. We adjust address block clearance and barcode zones on the digital proof when you provide requirements from your mail service provider.

Yes. Short runs are available for weddings, events, and product launches where 100 to 250 custom-printed envelopes match a small guest list or VIP mailing. Per-piece cost is higher at low quantities but still below rush pricing at local copy shops, and print quality is far above inkjet-printed stock.

Keep logos, addresses, and decorative elements at least 0.125 inch from all trim edges, window cutouts, and flap glue lines. Critical text like return addresses must also clear USPS required clear zones when mailing through automation equipment. We mark all safe, restricted, and required zones on your digital proof before production.
