Back to Dye Printing Tricks & Tips
These are the standard envelopes' sizes and the dimensions an enclosure should be to fit inside. Note that just because these are what the paper mills provide, doesn't mean they are always readily available. Check with your local printer BEFORE designing all your pieces for the one perfect size only to find out the backorder time will keep your invitations from coming out for another month. Also not every envelope is available in every color. (Click here for quick decimal to fraction conversion.)
Enclosure size shouldn't be confused with the unfolded document size. See the standard business size #10? The enclosure reads 4"x9.25" but you know a standard letterhead is 8.5"x11", until you fold it down to fit into the envelope...
