Images also add intrigue to your direct mail campaigns, whether you choose full colour or black and white. We provide customized envelope solutions that are Canada Post and brand-compliant without sacrificing quality and creativity.
Choosing the right envelope for the job ensures you remain compliant with Canada Post regulations while meeting your goals.
Your personalized envelope choices can be based on appearance, purpose, budget, or a combination of criteria, which is why we offer customized solutions to meet your needs.
Standard print envelopes are window-free and are commonly used for professional and formal mail pieces. They come in a variety of sizes with a limited colour selection, allowing you to find an affordable solution for projects such as branded stationary.
Although traditionally used for mailing checks and bills, today, window envelopes are used for many types of mailers, including direct mail marketing. It is an affordable option as it skips a step for applying labels or printing the address on the envelope. You can also choose double window options that show both the recipient and return addresses.
Catalogue envelopes are generally used for mailers with several pages or thicker paper stocks that can’t be folded, such as photographs or branded presentation folders. They are most commonly used to mail a variety of inserts, from insurance policies and business reports to magazines and catalogues.
These types of envelopes come in a range of sizes, including 6″ x 9″, 9″ x 12″, and 10″ x 13″ and open at the short end of the envelope. A square flap makes it easier to insert mailers.
The Cadillac of envelopes, baronial envelopes are available in higher-end paper selections and a customizable selection of colours. They traditionally have a signature and pointed flap and are ideal for invitations and important announcements.
As the name implies, airmail envelopes are used to send mail via air, as they are made from thinner, lighter paper to save money. Today, most people opt for standard envelopes, although the style and paper used for airmail has a certain nostalgic charm.
The best choice for direct mail marketing, invoices, letters, checks and statements are commercial envelopes that are designed for mechanical insertion. They open along the long edge and can also be used as branded envelopes. This is also called an “open side” envelope. Commercial envelopes should have “Machineable” envelope flaps that are shorter, as opposed to longer invitation flaps.
A booklet envelope is similar to a catalogue envelope but opens on the longer side. They come in similar sizes but are commonly used for smaller booklets as well as sales sheets, business reports, and more.
Custom envelope printing services in Toronto provide an additional way to connect with customers, whether your design includes a printed message, image, or logo. Custom printed envelopes are the first thing recipients see for almost every type of mail, from invoices and contracts to offers and direct marketing pieces.
It is also the first chance you have to capture attention, providing an additional opportunity to entice customers to open the envelope to see what’s inside. A custom envelope also quickly identifies you as the sender to help instil trust and trigger brand recognition. People are more inclined to open mail from someone they recognize, so even something as simple as printing your logo on an envelope can make a big difference in customer response.
You can also create a sense of urgency with messaging such as “Limited Time Offer” or protect your customers by stating that the mail is “Personal & Confidential.” Regardless of your envelope design, custom envelope printing services in Toronto can help you achieve your business goals and increase your ROI. Custom envelopes with colour and content that touch the edge of the paper is typically a custom-made envelope, which typically requires longer production time.

Although there are multiple ways of printing an envelope, the most effective method depends on your goals. Printing an envelope is best performed through digital printing or litho printing. Both have different purposes. Depending on the quantity, imagery, and content you need, our printing services in Toronto will identify the best method for your artwork and goals.
Paper, plastic, metal, and fabric can be used to print envelopes, but paper is the most commonly used material. Printing services in Toronto prefer recycled or virgin fibre-based paper for efficient and environmentally safe printing.
Some of the latest advances that envelope printing services in Toronto have seen recently are sustainable printing, automation, 3D printing (not widely available as of yet), UV printing, and digital printing.
Yes. Customized envelopes are more expensive than regular ones, as they may require unique sizes, non-standard ink coverage, and data setup processes. Moreover, unlike the most widely used offset printing, digital printing is used for customized envelopes, meaning printing services in Toronto may charge more for custom personalization and variable imaging. Although customized envelopes may be more expensive upfront, they can increase your return on investment (ROI) through hyper personalization. Generic custom envelopes can be printed from flat sheets–print and convert method–if colour must reach the edge of any side(s).
Yes. Using FSC-certified printers is an excellent way of doing environmentally friendly printing. Our printing services in Toronto offer other environmentally-friendly options like soy-based ink, recycled paper, waterless painting, and energy-efficient printing equipment to provide the most eco-friendly & sustainable printing options.
Secured envelopes offer advantages over traditional envelopes, such as better security, authentication thanks to holograms & watermarks, confidentiality, cost-effectiveness & time saving. Ask us about artline security envelope options.
