Officeprofiles tips on getting the right Envelopes.

If there is one product range that has a broad spectrum of different product styles and types then the office envelope range fits that bill. The thing with envelopes is that they often not only contain your companies documents, letters, quotations and general correspondence but before they are even opened they can be a representation of your business, that’s why getting the correct envelopes for your particular needs can not only make your mailing easier, safer and better packaged but also help to create the right impression for your business.

We have divided the envelope section of our business supplies website into convenient sections that show the three most common sizes of envelopes used in the UK today; DL envelopes, C5 envelopes and the larger C4 envelopes.

Other sections include – protective, printed, mailing machine, jiffy bags/protective envelopes and then an overspill section for other envelopes. Each section is then broken down further once you click through to reveal; white or manila options along with window or plain choices. Before you make a decision on your mailing needs it may be worth taking into account the following; What you are intending to mail? This will help you decide on the size of the envelope. Is your mailing heavy? Perhaps a heavier weight version may be needed. Are there many documents to mail? If so many of the popular sizes of envelopes that we offer at Officeprofiles are also available with a gusset (this means the envelope will expand to accommodate several more contents or even things like catalogues). What is the smallest size your documents can be? Since the introduction in the UK of the pricing in proportion, postage costs are now affected not just by the weight of your mailing but also by the size.

It’s well worth considering if you can fold your documents that perhaps you would normally put in a C4 envelope so you can use a C5 envelope – this is half the size of the C4 and can help to reduce you mailing costs. Which seal would like? There are three main types of closure available on the Officeprofiles site; Gummed – this style of closure requires a dry adhesive area on the envelopes to be moistened in order to seal. Self Seal – these envelopes have adhesive on both parts of the envelope flap that when pressed together form a bond to seal the mailing. Peel & seal – this sealing method has a protective tape concealing the adhesive strip. Once removed the flap can be pressed down to seal the contents securely.

The titles and descriptions of all the mailing products on sale here at Officeprofiles.com clearly state which style of sealing they offer to help you with your choice.
