All About Personalized Envelopes

When you personalize something you are actually making something an extension of yourself, this applies to personalized envelopes. It’s something personal, it’s something that you created, and it’s something that reflects you or your business. This can also be applied to personalized envelopes because creating something that’s been personalized, will actually increase the value to the person that receives it because they know that it’s something that has special value to you.  It also shows the recipient that you have put time and thought into how you are presenting your gift or even your company brochure to them.

When Choosing Personalized Envelopes Bear In Mind …

When personalizing something the first thing to bear in mind is exactly what size you want to start with. It may sound obvious but many people get carried away with the design and color and forget to actually measure what needs to go into these envelopes. And remember to leave a little extra space too!!! Never go for the size that perfectly matches the gift, always leave a little room.  You must take the depth of the gift into consideration, and the deeper it is the more extra space you will need in your personalised envelope.

Now all the creativity begins and you can start customizing at your heart’s content. These types of envelopes come in almost every single envelope size they make, which means finding the right size envelope will not be an issue. When searching for the right envelope you can also pick and choose as to what type of flaps are available such as wallet closures, triangular flaps, or the basic standard flap.

Since we’re talking about flaps you can also select the type of sealing method you would like to have on your envelopes such as self sealing, or regular. There are other things to look for as well such as colors, multicolor envelopes, lined, unlined or envelopes with the windows made of glassine. Depending on the occasion, there is more than likely an envelope that will fit your specific needs. The fun part about the whole thing is looking through all the different envelopes to find the perfect fit.  4×6 envelopes are the most commonly used.

Personalized Envelopes For Business

If your personalized envelopes are for business needs, you’ll find it very easy to order your envelopes preprinted with your company name, address, and business logo. This will make them look sophisticated as well as engaging. This information is not just limited to the front of the envelope because the back area of the envelope can be customized as well, providing you perfect opportunities to say something like “Thank you” or “Waiting to hear from you”.  You could also take the opportunity of putting your website address on there and if you have any good deals going on, make sure to advertise them here.

Although this may seem kind of corny, when you’re in business, taking advantage of the space on a personalized envelope will maximize your business exposure.  So something like ‘check out July’s special offers here’ or ‘did you know that we now have xyz in stock, call for a quote to get your personalised discount’.  After all every little helps.

As stated originally, when personalizing something you are creating something that reflects who you are as well as what you are trying to convey to others. This will also include personalized business envelopes, because they are in essence an extension of your personal business card letting people know who and what you are. This is the reason they really need to be designed with care, and only providing just enough information to make someone curious but not so personalized they tell everything about you.

Personalized envelopes are being used every single day and to see who is using them, this will only require a short trip to your mail box. These types of envelopes are very popular making them an excellent choice for your next mailing campaign.

Where To Buy Your Personalized Envelopes

For the best selection and the best deals, you need to start surfing.  They vary hugely in price but if you shop around you should be able to get a good deal.  And like everything in the stationary market the more you buy, i.e. the larger your order then the cheaper they become.  So if you think you will be need them for a long time try to make your initial order as large as possible, this will dramatically reduce your up front costs.  Further orders should then be a lot cheaper as you already have the print template set up.

Again make sure you get your sizes right, because once you have personalized your order you really cannot send it back if you have got it wrong.  And finally, always bear in mind that there can be a cost associated with shipping and delivery.  Now some companies will throw this in for free, and others will do the same depending on the size of the order.  So if you qualify for free shipping buy just increasing your order by a few bucks saving you more on shipping and delivery charges then do so.  This is important and you can often drastically reduce your costs by making sure you get this right.

Although they can be more expensive, personalized envelopes can pay for themselves in the impression they give and leave with the receiver.
