Your company wants to print its own envelopes. Fair enough. You can either get in touch with a printing service provider who offers envelope printing services or you could get it done in house. Whichever you choose you will have to take care of a few specifics of envelope printing with regards to graphic design, envelope orientation, and various other facets.
The Printer Margins are Very Important
Now here's an important tip. There are quite a few printers that cannot print on the areas that are very close to the edge of the paper sheet or in this case the envelope sheet. Now, whether you are doing in-house envelope printing or are having the printing done by an external source, you need to keep this specific in mind. One can solve this problem by moving the block containing the address a little bit further away from the edge. You don't want your address to get cut do you? The envelope design must be such that it leaves a sufficient margin and the printing is done within the margin.
The Clear Window
Now, there is a facet in envelope printing that is called "clear window." The envelopes that are a product of this style of printing are also called "window envelopes." In these types of envelopes a space is left for the address or some other component of the envelope that you would like to customize.
Graphic Specifics
When it comes to the graphic design of an envelope one does not really have the scope to do too much. However, the printing can be achieved in four-color processes and this should be taken into consideration while designing an envelope. The envelope design can be foil-stamped or could also be foil-embossed if you want to match it with your stationary or a particular marketing theme that you have adopted. Envelope printing offers you many more options when it comes to the types of envelopes to be printed. Print Runner will make available to you these options and you can take your pick in accordance with your needs and requirements.
Size and Thickness
It can be imagined that these days envelope printing also offers a choice with regards to the size and thickness of the envelope. Now, you could want an envelope for a variety of purposes and it is these purposes that dictate the size and thickness of the envelope. An envelope is a covering that enhances the importance of your mail. This mail could be in the form of brochures, sales letters, or any other type of invitation and correspondence. The size of the envelope and thickness will give the receiver of the envelope the idea about the kind of importance that you have placed on that particular mail.
