FAQs

What does DL size mean for these envelopes?

DL is a standard envelope size that fits a sheet of A4 paper folded twice, or an A5 sheet folded once. It measures approximately 110 x 220 mm.

What is the paper weight of these envelopes?

The envelopes are made from 70gsm (grams per square meter) paper, which is considered lightweight.

How do I seal the envelopes?

The envelopes have a gummed flap that requires moisture to activate the adhesive. You can lick the strip or use a damp sponge or envelope moistener.

What are these envelopes best used for?

They are ideal for everyday business mailings such as invoices, statements, receipts, and general mail shots due to their cost-effectiveness and standard size.

What are the dimensions of the address window?

The window measures 35 mm in height and 89 mm in width. It is positioned 19 mm from the left edge and 18 mm from the bottom edge.

Can I use these envelopes for sending multiple pages?

Yes, as long as the total thickness of the documents does not make the envelope too bulky for standard postage or the mailing machine, and the paper weight is sufficient for the content.

Are these envelopes suitable for international mail?

Yes, the DL size is internationally recognized. However, ensure the contents and weight comply with the destination country's postal regulations.

Troubleshooting

Gummed flap not sealing properly

Ensure adequate moisture is applied to the entire gummed strip. If the gum appears dry, it may be old; try a fresh pack.

Address not visible through window

Check that the address or label is positioned correctly on the document inside the envelope to align with the window's dimensions and placement.

Envelope is too flimsy for contents

These envelopes are designed for lightweight documents. For heavier or more sensitive items, consider using a sturdier envelope with a higher gsm paper weight.

Window is smudged or unclear

Handle envelopes carefully. If a window is smudged, ensure the internal document's address is still legible. Clean the window exterior gently with a dry, soft cloth if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These envelopes require no setup. They are ready to use straight from the pack.

Compatibility:

  • Paper Size: Designed to hold an A4 sheet folded twice, or an A5 sheet folded once.
  • Addressing: The 35 x 89 mm window is positioned 19 mm in and 18 mm up from the bottom left, suitable for standard address labels or printed inserts.
  • Sealing: The gummed flap requires a small amount of moisture (saliva, a damp sponge, or envelope moistener) to create a secure seal.

Care:

  • Store in a dry place to prevent the gummed flap from prematurely adhering.
  • Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture.
  • Handle with clean hands to avoid smudging or damaging the paper, especially around the window.
