Envelope Tips
Here are a few envelope paper selection pointers:
- Gloss paper runs slower through the envelope converting machine (it’s slippery!) and therefore costs more to produce.
- Take your time selecting paper; an envelope is a paper-intensive product.
- Envelopes can be coated (aqueous or varnish) just like any print job. Make sure the coating doesn’t interfere with ink jet addressing or labeling and sealing.
