FAQs
Will these fit an A5 sheet of paper?
No, C6 envelopes are designed for A6 sheets or A4 folded into quarters. An A5 sheet would require folding in a way that may be too bulky for this size.
Can I use these for inkjet printers?
While the paper is high quality, these are designed for manual addressing. Check your printer's manual for handling small envelopes to avoid jams.
Are these envelopes acid-free?
Yes, they are archival quality and acid-free, making them safe for long-term storage of letters.
What is the weight of the paper?
The envelopes feature a 50g white liner, providing a balance between lightness and security.
Are there matching stationery sheets available?
Yes, these are specifically part of the Clairefontaine Triomphe range and match the associated writing paper perfectly.
Troubleshooting
Gummed flap not adhering
Ensure the adhesive is adequately moistened. If the air is very dry, apply slightly more moisture to the strip and hold firmly for a few seconds.
Paper appears transparent
The 50g white liner is designed for opacity, but for very dark ink or thick markers, use a secondary piece of paper inside to further mask the contents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use these envelopes, ensure your letter is folded precisely into quarters if using A4 paper. To seal the envelope, lightly dampen the gummed strip with a moist sponge or stamp-moistener; avoid excessive water to prevent buckling the paper. For best preservation, store the envelopes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the gum adhesive. These envelopes are fully compatible with standard postage requirements for domestic and international mail.
