Here are some envelope descriptions known mostly to those copy professionals who work at copy and print centers and shops.
These envelope printing tips will help you get better results and have less problems;

1) What Type of Envelope; wallet or pocket?
All envelopes are split into either wallets or pockets. Wallets open on the long edge and pockets on the short edge.

2) Envelope Types and Sizes?
The most common standard sizes for envelopes are below:

Business & Correspondence
Widely used for business and personal correspondence. Commercial and Side Seam flap styles are ideal for machine insertion. Wallet flaps provide a large area ideal for imprinting. Square flaps are contemporary, but not recommended for machine insertion.

Booklet
This style is ideal for annual reports, brochures, sales materials, and more. The open side makes it acceptable for automatic insertion.

Catalog
Center seam makes this style more durable for mailing heavy-weight materials. These envelopes can not be processed through inserting equipment or run through a laser printer.

Square
This unusual shape attracts attention to contents. Square envelopes are nonstandard and require additional postage to mail.

Baronial
Deep pointed flap traditionally used for formal announcements and invitations. Not recommended for machine insertion.

Announcement
Also called A-style, this contemporary design is idea for photographs, greeting cards, small booklets, and promotional pieces. Do not confuse the A-4 size with metric A4 paper, which fits into a DL size Commercial envelope.

3) Envelopes With Windows?
Most envelopes are available with or without a window. Think how you plan to use the envelopes – will you always have an address to show through? If you need both (window and windowless) – printing these at the same time may save on costs.

4) What Kind of Paper?
All too often people do not consider the material that their envelopes are made from. If you’re promoting a premium product or brand, then lightweight envelopes will create the wrong impression. Remember that the envelope is the first thing the recipient will see and feel. By the same token, if you’re printing envelopes as part of a large mailing project then keeping the weight down may be vital – it could save a small fortune in postage costs.

5) Postage Regulations?
Postage regulations may effect size, weight and cost. Please contact your local printer who should be familiar with post office regulations or have your printer speak with your postal carrier company.

When purchasing stationary or letterhead for your company or for yourself knowing all your options upfront helps you make better decisions and stay within a printing and design budget.

Stationary and Letterhead for most companies consists of the basics; logo, company name, contact information, all printed on a nice paper stock. To get your customers’ attention you have to break the mold and think outside the box when designing your logo. The logo is an extremely important because it’s how your customers identify you and your company. Your logo should be a well thought out representation of your business and it should convey the quality and what type of service that is associated with your company.

Print Shops/Sample Kits

If you have never designed or created your own letterhead before, a local print shop will have a ton of great ideas for paper stocks, layouts, inks, and maybe some design tips. The quality and options have greatly changed and expanded for the better over the last few years so ask about what’s new. A few minutes spent with your local printer at the beginning could possibly bring the quality stationary you or your company is looking for.
