What type of Envelope flap can I use?
From an over-printing perspective, we normally produce your printed envelopes via our now standard, premium 120gsm peel & seal product ranges (the highest quality in the UK print industry for this sector!) for quantities ranging from 50 - 10,000
You also have the option to use our 100gsm self-seal envelope product for C6, DL & C5 sizes (C4 are 120gsm peel & seal only).
Or if you need machinable envelopes for fulfilment (popular with prepaid PPI services) we can offer over-sized DL+ & C5+ 90gsm gummed envelopes.
We have three popular types of glued flaps on our Printed Envelopes:
120gsm Peel & Seal
Our standard, Superior envelope product using premium 120gsm white bond paper, featuring a strong, single-use, pressure-sensitive gum behind a waxy paper strip that you remove to expose the glue before sealing the flap down securely.
They aren't compatible with automatic insertion [Fulfilment] machines, but are fantastic for long-term storage and portraying a high-end luxury image for your company.
No need for resorting to licking the envelope (Yuck! Nobody needs to lick an envelope any more) to seal it.
These are presented in "Superior" branded, high-end, red & black storage boxes (see our envelope photo gallery above), oozing quality.
✓SHELF LIFE: up to 5 years
✓WALLET: Long-Edge Flap
✓BOXED: in 500's (C4 in 250's)
100gsm Self-Seal (aka "Touch & Seal")
Our alternative premium envelope on 100gsm white bond paper, these use a pressure-sensitive gum applied to both flaps that you then seal down together to form the bond with each strip of gum.
These have the bonus of a security pattern, generically printed inside the envelope.
✓SHELF LIFE: up to 6 months (as glue will dry out)
✓WALLET: Long-Edge Flap as standard on all sizes, C6, DL, C5, and C4
✓SECURITY PATTERN INSIDE
✓BOXED: in 500's
90gsm Gummed Machinable
Our DL+ & C5+ gummed mailing wallet envelopes are designed for machine insertion.
