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.
