Mailing Tip: Square Envelopes Need Extra Postage
USPS adds a nonmachinable surcharge to square envelopes like our 6.5" x 6.5", so plan for extra postage. #10, A2, A6, A7 and A9 envelopes mail at the regular letter rate up to 1 oz when they're 1/4" thick or less. 9x12 envelopes mail at large envelope (flat) rates.

What paper stocks are available for blank envelopes?
White Premium Opaque (70lb and 60lb), White Linen Uncoated 70lb, White Natural Uncoated 70lb, Pearl Metallic 70lb, and Self-Seal Security Strip Uncoated 60lb with a blue security tint. Availability varies by size.
What are pearl metallic envelopes?
Pearl metallic envelopes have a soft, shimmering finish that catches the light. They're a favorite for wedding invitations, holiday cards and luxury brand mail.
Do you have blank security envelopes?
Yes. Our Self-Seal Security Strip stock has a blue crisscross security tint inside, so contents can't be read through the paper, plus a peel-and-seal closure.
Are blank envelopes available with a window?
Yes. Choose no window or a standard address window. Window envelopes are ideal for invoices and statements where the address prints on the document.
How many blank envelopes can I order?
Order from 100 up to 25,000 envelopes: 100, 250, 500, 1,000, 2,500, 5,000, 10,000, 15,000, 20,000 or 25,000.
How fast do blank envelopes ship?
Because there's no printing, blank envelopes ship quickly. Choose 2–4 or 5–7 business day turnaround.
Can I print on blank envelopes myself?
Yes. Our blank envelopes have a smooth, writable surface for handwriting, address labels or rubber stamps. Many customers also run them through an office printer. Test a few first to make sure your printer handles the size and stock.
Can I get these envelopes custom printed instead?
Yes. If you'd like your logo or return address printed, see our custom printed envelopes, with options like full color and variable addressing.
Do you offer custom sizes, flaps or window positions?
Yes. Custom sizes, flap styles, window sizes and positions, and double windows are available through our custom quote form.
Do square envelopes cost more to mail?
Yes. USPS adds a nonmachinable surcharge to square envelopes like the 6.5" x 6.5", so they need more postage than a rectangular envelope of the same weight. #10, A2, A6, A7 and A9 mail at the regular letter rate up to 1 oz (when 1/4" thick or less), and 9x12 envelopes mail at large envelope (flat) rates.
