When a prospect customer checks upon all envelopes and correspondence, they get to see so many plain white envelopes in the mail, that if there is 1 custom printed, full bleed envelope with nice color and design, I am sure that they will grab this one first and open it to see what is inside!
We need to make sure you are the one with the catchy envelope that calls for the customer to open it with interest! For this, we need to make sure the envelope design used for printing, is attractive, and adequate to your products, services or company logo theme. Getting the design done can be done in many ways:
Keep in mind, that before all important data contained in the envelope, the first impression will be first caused by the style, size and design of the envelope itself, never forget that.
In 2026, physical mailing has already become a luxury touchpoint rather than a conventional communication channel. This is interesting physical details touch to your communication to provide visual likeness to your mails for better, nicer interaction with your brand.
A regular envelope signals for 'utility bill' or 'junk mail', while a custom full color printed one will say 'opportunity'!

Why is this? Because, little details count, a nice logo, a nice design, colorful layouts are relevant to your brand and logo, personal and professional.
There is an extra clever edge in our envelopes that rely on printing them to look like 'FULL BLEED'. This means that there will be no white border around the envelope, the entire paper can be designed and printed with flowing art that crosses from one folded section to the other. This will take us way apart from conventional prints.
Our process is distinct and follows three key steps:
This is the method that allows the full-bleed look that is a must have for top-open-rate conversion percentage to run in your favor.
Every paper has its purpose, rather it's a cheap 20lb or 24lb bond paper for an economical envelope job or a higher standard quality 70lb paper for consistent and better presentation to avoid the see-through and disposable feel of lighter papers.
We offer out 70lb Opaque Smooth White stock paper as the best balance between luxury envelope feel while keeping the price of production as low as possible for the customer. Here are some of what we call 'Gold Standard' for a finished professional looking stationary:

Anyway, in case you want to build your-own, then these are some technical points its good you consider during the build-up of the art.
If you wish to have the printed colors all the way to the edge of the paper, please allow an extra 1/8th of an inch (0.125") larger than the actual envelope size to be used as "bleed" area. This is then trimmed off section that gets the nice effect like if the paper was printed to the edge. If you are not planning on using bleeding in your design, don't worry about this specific point.
We use Offset technology to print bulk envelopes, so we will require the color format to be CMYK (Cyan Magenta Yellow Black) instead of the popular 'Screens RGB (Red Green Blue)' color setting used mostly by digital and home printers too
This is just a quick reference table on what to expect from our option selections based on our production line.
| Paper Material | 70 lb. Opaque Smooth White (Text Weight) Nicer quality and paper brightness (Nicer color print-outs) and opacity compared to standard 24lb bond. |
| Printer Compatibility | Universal. We have run many tests on home-based printers to make sure they will run perfect for you, every time. |
| Printing Method | Offset Lithography (Flat). For the offset envelopes (not digitally printed) we will print flat sheets and then fold and glue accordingly to the specs needed. This is perfect for full bleed. |
| Sealing Mechanism | Standard Gum Seal. We are able to add the gum sealer on the inside of the flap upon request, contact us for a quote. |
| Resolution Req. | 350 DPI (Dots Per Inch). We recommend any resolution above 300dpi, this will ensure sharp text and images to be printed nicely and without distortion. |
| Production Speed | 4-6 Business Days. We would love to make the envelopes production time faster, but it's a very delicate and complicated product. Production takes a bit longer than other printing products, taking us from 4-6 business days to produce, and a day or 2 for packing and shipping. Production starts after you approve the digital proof. |

Bleed means the effect that the ink goes all the way to the edge of the envelope where it folds, and you can even create designs with wrap around effect around the flap and body of the design.
After we print the flat sheet, we fold it and glue it to its final shape. So, we have complete control on what to print and where.
The full bleed technique gives your envelope an extra high-end feel that customers love. Make sure to allow at least 0.25" extra ink area all around the limits of the design for us to use it a bleed zone.
Our digital envelopes are not capable of doing this as it uses an 'Overprinting' technique which prints envelopes already formed.
Being thick and opaque helps avoid the visibility of the content in a great margin. This resolves the 'soft level' security issue with an economical paper solution.
If you wish to order a more protective and sensitive protection level like for the (HIPAA) or any other sort of legal documentations protection, then contact us so we can add a security tint to the envelope for you.
