Mailing
The social side of printing!
As many years as we’ve been printing, it’s still tough to remember all of the envelopes sizes that can be used for invitations and announcements. Here’s a quick rundown, just in case your next holiday card is on tap:
Where cost is an issue, Baronial style envelopes have a great price point, but they’re usually only available in white or ivory.
Baronial (i.e. pointy-flap) Style Envelopes
4 Bar
5.125 x 3.625
5 Bar
5.625 x 4.125
5 ½ Bar
5.625 x 4.375
6 Bar
6.5 x 4.75
Lee
7.25 x 5.25
A lot of folks prefer the the more up to date square flap style Announcement envelope. Indeed, they’re available in a wider range of colors and finishes:
Announcement Envelope: square flap style
A-2
4.375″ x 5.75″
A-6
4.75″ x 6.5″
A-7
5.25″ x 7.25″
A-8
5.5″ x 8.125
A-9
5.75″ x 8.75″
A-10
6″ x 9.5″
Just two more things to remember:
1. Not every size/color/finish combo is available, so check before you start your design
2. These are the envelope sizes, the enclosures should be designed about 1/4″ smaller in each dimension.
Questions: just give us a call or visit our contact page.

Tech Tips
Clipboard on Steriods
OK, this is simple, cool, and best of all free. It’s a Macintosh utility that expands your clipboard into cubbyholes. Each time you copy to the clipboard, you fill a new cubby without overwriting your last clipboard copy.
Using a menu bar item, or keyboard shortcut, you simply select the content you need and paste it wherever you want. Simple and elegant.
It’s called Jumpcut. Download it from the author’s Sourceforge page.

Green Printing at Copies&Ink: It’s Organic
Not just soy ink on recycled paper, but a commitment to minimal impact and sustainable processes.
This is a huge concern to all of us, and over the years Copies&Ink has taken many steps, (some at great expense) to minimize our impact on the environment. These fall into two general categories: First, reducing waste and environmental impact though our production and materials processes and second, an area that we feel is often neglected. So much so, that I recently coined a phrase to describe it:
Organic Print.
The notion of Organic Print encourage users of print to consider the Raison d’être of the materials they produce as well as their design, and the stategy behind their distribution. Each of these factors has an important potential impact on the carbon footprint of the printed piece. The industrial age economy has given way to a new paradigm based on information and innovation. Printing firms need to keep pace and let go of the idea that “more is better.”
In practical terms, that often means we ask a client to reconsider a project’s design and sometimes even whether is should be printed at all. Yes, in the short term, this can be bad for business, but in the long term it forges a stronger relationship with the client moving forward.
Target Your Printing
Print only what you need, when you need it. Tailor it to those readers most interested in your message. Today’s technology gives us the ability to target and personalize on a one-to-one basis. I believe that’s the future of print, and it’s already arrived. There’s a declining ROI in old-style mass marketing, and it’s bad for the planet.
Years ago, Copies&Ink embraced a “green” platemaking technology, which eliminated silver and corrosive chemicals from our manufacturing process. We operate “right sized” presses, which reduce waste to a minimum. We’ve eliminated incandescent lighting and installed high SEER air conditioning units.
And yes, we offer a large selection of recycled papers, many of which can be obtained at an excellent price point. For information drop us a line and ask about some green alternatives for your next project.
