Practical information about letters and envelopes

Layout of envelopes

You are more than welcome to use the envelope creatively to highlight your brand or product. Simply observe the following guidelines:

• There must be a free field for the sorting code. The code will be printed on the envelope during machine sorting. You can easily avoid your message being covered by a label. More information is available here: Free field
• You should write the sender and recipient in specific places on the envelope. More information is available here: Addressing.
• There are a number of options regarding the design of envelopes. The same applies to your choice of paper type. Read more about the choice of paper quality.
• Do you not want to use a closed envelope? You can choose a non-packaged or folded shipment (without envelope) or cover the letter in film. More information about the various options is available here: Packaging (link to packaging and envelopes).
• You are welcome to enclose items and gimmicks in envelopes. Here you can read more about to what you should pay attention in this regard: Read more about content in letters.

The above guidelines are mandatory when you send Business Letters and Direct Mail. In other cases, the guidelines are merely advisory. Contact us if you have any special requests – we may be able to identify an interesting solution for you.
