UK Envelope Sizes
Choosing the correct dimensions helps keep the contents neatly positioned and avoids unnecessary folds or empty space.
| Format | Size | Common Use |
|---|---|---|
| DL | 110 × 220 mm | A4 sheets folded into thirds and standard business letters |
| C5 | 162 × 229 mm | A4 folded in half or A5 sheets sent flat |
| C4 | 229 × 324 mm | A4 documents, certificates and reports sent unfolded |
| 5 × 7-inch format | Approx. 133 × 184 mm | Greeting cards, wedding stationery and invitations |
| Custom | Made to order | Unusual cards, documents, products or branded inserts |
When a standard size does not provide the right fit, share the dimensions of the item going inside. We can develop a bespoke envelope around the insert instead of forcing it into an unsuitable standard format.
Choosing the Right Envelope
Before selecting an envelope, consider the dimensions, thickness and fragility of the contents.
A paper business envelope may be sufficient for letters and invoices, while a board-backed format is more appropriate for prints or documents that should remain flat. Products that may be affected by knocks or pressure during postage can benefit from padded protection.
The envelope should provide enough space for easy packing without allowing the contents to move excessively. For bulky or heavy orders, consider stepping up to Custom Mailer Boxes or Poly Mailers.
Custom Printing and Brand Colours
Envelopes can be printed in full CMYK colour or matched closely to supplied Pantone references. Printing can be applied to the front, back and suitable internal areas, depending on the material and envelope construction.
Artwork can include:
- Company logos
- Return addresses
- Contact information
- Marketing messages
- Patterns and illustrations
- Social media details
- QR codes
- Campaign artwork
- Event names and dates
- Postal and handling instructions
Consistent printing across envelopes, letterheads and other stationery helps create a more professional brand presentation.
Printing and Finishing Options
The finish should support the purpose of the envelope and the style of your brand.
Full-Colour Printing Suitable for logos, illustrations, campaign artwork and designs that use several colours.
Pantone Colour Matching Helps maintain closer consistency with established brand colour references.
White Ink Printing Provides contrast on dark, kraft or coloured paper stocks where standard inks may not remain clearly visible.
Inside-Tint Printing Adds a pattern or colour to the interior. It can improve privacy for business correspondence or create a branded detail when the envelope is opened.
Foil Stamping Gold, silver, rose gold and other metallic foils can highlight logos, names or borders on premium correspondence and invitations.
Embossing or Debossing Adds a raised or pressed texture to selected logos, monograms or design elements.
Our team can recommend suitable printing methods based on the envelope material, colour and intended use.

- Coloured paper
- Natural kraft stock
