Custom Envelopes

Unlike our ready-made envelopes which come pre-folded, our custom envelopes are printed and put together from the ground up. First we print your design on large flat press sheets, next we stamp the seamless envelope shapes out using our precision die-cut machine. Then, we fold and glue your envelopes and they are ready to use! Because we start with flat paper, we can print your colourful full bleed designs and cover the entire surface with ink if so desired (even on the flap!). These custom envelopes are made to be loved.

Custom Envelopes

• Printed first, then die-cut, folded and glued into envelopes.
• Printed with a full bleed (colour goes to the edge).

We start with a flat sheet of paper, so your design can have a full edge. Good for simple designs, complex designs or designs with pictures.

Ready-made Envelopes

• Pre-folded envelopes.
• 5mm margin, no printing on flap.

Ready-made envelopes are pre-folded and have a margin on all sides. Ideal for simple text base designs.

First, lets open up one of our full colour envelope templates. Each template comes setup with the required trim marks and guides, so all you need to do is just set your design up. If you do not see these guides, you must first enable your guides. From the View menu, choose Guides > Show Guides.

Bleed Line

For our custom envelope die shape,
we need your bleed to extend to this line.

Non-Printing Area

This shaded area with diagonal lines is the area we use to glue and assemble. Please do not put any design here.

The design cannot go into the Non-Printable Area.

The Non-Printable Area needs to be clear (without designs) because this area will be glued and used to assemble the envelopes.
