V-Flap vs Straight-Flap — Which to Choose?

• V-flap (pointed flap) — elegant, traditional envelope silhouette; preferred for invitations, occasion cards and personal correspondence. The pointed flap adds a quality feel to the opening experience.
• Straight-flap (wallet) — rectangular flap across the full width; more common for business correspondence, invoices and higher-volume mailing. Easier to machine-fill and machine-seal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a V-flap envelope?
A V-flap envelope has a pointed, triangular flap — the classic envelope silhouette used for greeting cards and invitations. The pointed flap creates an elegant opening experience that a straight-flap (rectangular) envelope cannot replicate. V-flap envelopes are gummed (moisture-activated closure), making them the traditional, trusted choice for personal correspondence.

Are coloured V-flap envelopes suitable for wedding invitations?
Yes — coloured V-flap envelopes are one of the most popular wedding invitation envelope formats. The pointed flap adds elegance to the presentation; the gummed seal is reliable and traditional. Ivory, cream, white, gold, silver and pearlescent tones are the most popular wedding invitation choices.

Are V-flap envelopes compatible with Royal Mail?
Yes — standard sizes (C6, DL, C5) are Royal Mail compatible within standard weight and thickness limits. Always weigh the sealed invitation suite before posting at volume — the card, inserts and envelope combined may exceed the large letter weight threshold.
