Why Custom Printed Envelopes?
Every envelope you send is a physical touchpoint with your customer, supplier or prospect. A plain white envelope is a missed opportunity. A printed envelope carrying your logo, brand colours and message arrives as a statement of intent.
Custom printed envelopes reinforce brand recognition before the recipient has even opened the flap. They signal professionalism and attention to detail, and in a pile of mail, a well-designed envelope stands out. For businesses that send volume correspondence, that impression compounds with every piece delivered.
Postal Packaging uses professional print technology to deliver consistent, high-quality results on a range of envelope formats. From DL business envelopes to C4 document mailers with turnaround times and minimum quantities suited to your business no matter the size.
Printing Techniques
One Colour Printing
One Colour Printing
One-colour printing, also known as spot colour printing, uses a single Pantone ink for simple, cost-effective branding. It is the most economical printing technique and works well for straightforward logos, return addresses or single-line messaging. Consistent and precise thanks to Pantone matching, one colour printing suits businesses looking for reliable brand presence on envelopes without the cost of multi-colour processes.
Digital Printing
Digital Printing
Digital printing uses the CMYK process to print directly onto envelope substrates with no printing plates required. It is the most practical technique for shorter runs and allows for full-colour results at cost-effective quantities. Unlike lithographic printing, digital can also print in white ink, making it suitable for printing on dark-coloured envelopes where standard inks would not show clearly. Ideal for quantities from 50 units upward.
Two Colour Printing
Two Colour Printing
Two-colour printing uses two specific Pantone inks to reproduce your brand colours with precision. It is a cost-effective alternative to full colour printing for brands with defined brand guidelines and logos that use two or fewer colours. Particularly well-suited to corporate communications, legal firms, financial services and businesses where brand colour consistency is a priority across high-volume mailings.
Full Colour Printing
Full Colour Printing
Full colour printing, also known as four-colour process or CMYK printing, combines cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks to reproduce photographs, complex graphics and detailed brand imagery accurately. This technique delivers vibrant, rich results and suits brands with multi-colour logos, gradient designs or photographic elements. The most versatile option for maximum visual impact across a wide range of envelope formats.
Foil Printing
Foil Printing
Foil printing, also known as foil stamping, adds a metallic or holographic effect to your envelope design. Available in gold, silver and a range of specialist finishes, foil printing gives printed envelopes a premium, luxury feel that stands apart from standard ink printing. Ideal for high-end brands, event invitations, luxury retail and any communication where visual impact is part of the message.
