An A7 envelope. At 5 1/4" x 7 1/4", it gives a 5" x 7" card about 1/8" of room on each side, so it slides in easily and looks neatly fitted.

Choose 1–2, 2–4 or 5–7 business day turnaround. Orders with variable addressing are produced on our standard turnaround (the faster 1–2 day option isn't available).

Yes. Foil, custom flaps and other special finishes are available through our custom quote form.

Please send your mailing list as a CSV file (.csv). You can build it in Excel or Google Sheets, then choose File → Save As (or Download) → CSV.

Your CSV needs one header row followed by one recipient per row. Label the header columns exactly as follows:

• Column A: FULL NAME
• Column B: COMPANY
• Column C: ADDRESS
• Column D: SUITE/APT
• Column E: CITY STATE ZIP CODE

Just leave that cell blank, but keep the column in your file. All five columns (A to E) should be present in every list, even if some cells are empty.

No. Put the city, state and ZIP code together in column E, for example "GLENDALE CA 91202". Don't split them into separate columns.

Yes. We print each address exactly as it appears in your file, so check spelling, apartment numbers and ZIP codes before you upload. For best delivery results, USPS recommends all capital letters with no punctuation.

Excel sometimes drops the leading zero from ZIP codes like 02108 (Boston), turning them into 2108. Before saving, format column E as Text, or double-check any ZIP codes that start with 0.

No. The faster 1–2 business day turnaround isn't available for variable addressing orders. Your envelopes are produced on our standard turnaround, so plan your mailing date accordingly.

Yes. Variable addressing is a paid add-on, and the price depends on your order quantity. Select variable addressing in the price calculator to see your exact total before you check out.

Yes. We'll print any address you provide in the format above. Most customers mail to U.S. addresses, but for an international recipient, put the city, postal code and country together in column E (CITY STATE ZIP CODE).

Order at least as many envelopes as there are names on your list. Many customers add a few extra blank envelopes for last-minute additions or mistakes.

A single 5x7 card in an A7 envelope usually needs one Forever stamp (up to 1 oz). Full invitation suites with an inner envelope, RSVP card and inserts often weigh more than 1 oz and need additional postage, so weigh one assembled invitation first.

Often, yes. Rigid, lumpy or embellished envelopes can add a USPS nonmachinable surcharge. Ask your post office to check one finished invitation before you mail the whole batch.
