Plain DL Envelopes and cheap DL Plain non-window Envelope printing

Plain DL non-window envelopes are one of the most popular European sizes (both single colour and full colour). It is normally used to securely send 1/3A4 size business letters such as SAGE invoices or SAGE Statements, along with their business cheques and probably accompanied with a business printed compliment slip. It's also the ideal size for a business letter, or marketing mail-shot within the UK or overseas. This is the equivalent size to a compliment slip, 1/3A4 size, or 220mm wide x 110mm deep.

Trade Printing UK always use a premium envelope brand which gives a high-white, high-quality finish, and there are both window and plain (non-window) envelope variants available. We mainly use the shorter-life 'Self-Seal' type which are sealed by pressing together two flaps that are both pre-gummed. Bear in mind that over time (less than a year) they are prone to drying out in warmer office conditions, but are less expensive to produce and the majority of our clients prefer them due the advantage of ease of use, no manual licking involved (yuck! we all remember licking gummed envelopes is like a bulldog chewing a wasp) and less office waste (those little white peel-off strips on Peel & Seal envelopes have to be dumped somewhere!) so they are normally used quite quickly for specific mail-outs or in a normal office environment. Our professional advice: order less at a time!

Quality Premium Envelope Overprinting stock supplier for business

As an envelope supplier, Trade Printing UK's custom printed envelopes are usually of a top quality between 90gsm to 100gsm (gsm = paper weight of grams per square metre) although our quality 90gsm variant is our regular one that we work with for DL business envelope printing at DL sizes on a daily basis currently. All our prices are based on pre-made custom overprinted envelopes. We would advise that the larger the envelope the more important the gsm paper weight becomes; and without that additional quality they could become floppy and tear more easily in transit through Royal Mail's sorting system. Some of our competitors print on inferior 80gsm paper weight and will even charge your business more as well. Buyer beware!

Remember - NOBODY EVER COMPLAINS ABOUT QUALITY!

A great looking custom printed plain envelope, preferably with your company branding and logo is the first impression your business gives to your clients, as well as greatly increasing the chance that your client will read what is inside so it should be a more important consideration that you probably originally thought. Envelopes are the container for your message, your SAGE invoices, your marketing material, your company ethos. It will also look more professional and up-market than your competitor's plain un-printed envelope!

Production notes to design a plain Non-Window DL-size Printed Colour Envelope

Custom-Printed Colour DL Envelope Flaps

Trade Printing UK traditionally work with wallet-style (top opening) flaps on our Plain Non-Window DL envelope range. The flaps are usually always already down by default. If you need printing on the main top flap on the back of the envelope then you'd require Gummed envelopes, which would cost more as we would treat this as a bespoke order. The cheapest way for you to do it is to print your return address etc. at the base (within 10mm) on the front side of the Plain Non-Window DL envelope. That's where the Royal Mail will look for it nowadays anyway.

All custom-printed Plain Non-Window DL envelope descriptions are for guidance only as exact dimensions are subject to the usual tolerances that occur during the manufacturing process. In particular, flap shapes and sizes vary depending on the precise manufacturing machinery. Any custom printed envelope you order may be subject to minor design variances, however, these variances will neither affect the functionality nor the perception of quality of the custom printed, colour DL envelopes.
