FAQs

What size is a C5 envelope?

A C5 envelope measures 162mm x 229mm.

Does this envelope require licking to seal?

No, these are peel and seal envelopes, which use an adhesive strip protected by a paper backing.

Can I fit an A4 sheet inside?

Yes, an A4 sheet fits perfectly inside when folded in half once.

Is the paper thick enough to prevent show-through?

Yes, the 120gsm paper is significantly thicker than standard office envelopes and provides excellent opacity.

Can these be printed on using a home printer?

They are generally not recommended for standard inkjet printers due to the dark color; using professional-grade opaque labels is a more reliable solution.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive strip not sticking properly

Ensure the envelope flap is clean and free of dust, and press firmly across the entire seal for several seconds to activate the pressure-sensitive adhesive.

Difficulty writing addresses

Standard blue or black ink will not be visible. Use opaque white gel pens, paint markers, or clear adhesive mailing labels.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality 120gsm paper stock for durability and professional feel
  • Peel and seal closure eliminates the need for messy moisture or extra tape
  • Sophisticated Jet Black aesthetic stands out in the mail
  • Perfectly sized for common A4 and A5 document formats

Cons

  • Requires specialized white or metallic markers for address visibility
  • Not suitable for standard inkjet printers if the ink is not opaque
  • Dark surface may hide standard black ink pens

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best results, store these envelopes in a cool, dry place to prevent the adhesive strip from prematurely activating or becoming brittle. When preparing mail, ensure your documents are folded cleanly along the crease to prevent bulging. If you intend to use a label printer, ensure your labels provide high contrast against the Jet Black finish. For manual addressing, avoid standard ballpoint pens as they may not show up clearly; instead, opt for pigment-based white or metallic ink markers. Once addressed, simply remove the protective strip from the flap, fold, and press firmly across the entire seal to ensure the adhesive makes full contact.
