Brown Business Envelopes

You've spent a lot of time making sure the company's marketing materials and other distributed content are eye-catching and of the highest quality - now it's time to make sure the packaging is just as professional with a host of business envelopes to choose from. If bulky documents or magazines need to be sent to clients, consider purchasing large catalog envelopes, so the contents won't be crushed.

Size and Color

Whether the intended impression is serious and skilled or fun and creative, there's a business envelope size and color option to suit any purpose. Go with standard white for a crisp look or choose an off-white hue to stand out from the average pile of mail. If you really need to grab clients' attention, choose a business size envelope in a vibrant hue, like blue or red.

Paper Weight

Most business envelopes have a 24-lb paper weight, but for a more substantial feel, choose a business-size envelope with a 32-lb or even 60-lb paper weight for conveying highly important messages.

Number of Windows

None, 1 or 2? How many envelope windows are needed? Windowless envelopes offer a smooth exterior surface for handwriting lengthy custom messages or printing information from an inkjet or laser printer. Business envelopes with 2 windows display return and mailing addresses, eliminating the need to handwrite them.

Closure

How a business-size envelope seals and how easily it opens are important factors in choosing an office-appropriate envelope. Self-seal envelopes with a gummed flap require moistening to create a secure seal, whereas envelopes with a press-to-seal or peel-and-seal flap don't require any moistening to make a bond. Business envelopes with a button-and-string design maintain loose closure and are better for storage rather than mailing purposes.
