Envelope Sizes: The Right Choice for Your Business?
Choosing the right envelope sizes to stock your stationery cupboard with may sound like a trivial concern, but it is in fact something that’s worth giving a few minutes thought to before placing an order.
We’ve all been there – whether in our personal or professional life – trying to cram a document into an envelope that’s the wrong size is no fun. In order to make a professional impression it’s important to have the right stationery, particularly when you use it to make contact with clients, customers or associates.
It’s also important to make every penny count when spending on your business, and ordering hundreds of envelopes in the wrong size is a mistake that’s easy to make but also very easy to avoid.
Simply spend a few minutes thinking about what kind of documents you will need to send through the post, and what other stationery resources you have available to you and want to utilise.
For example, if you’ve already purchased labels for printing addresses on, envelopes with windows are going to conflict with that.
When it comes to envelope sizes, most businesses will need a supply of more than one. DL envelopes are popular as they perfectly fit an A4 sheet folded into three, and are ideal for letters, invoices and basic quotes.
C4 envelopes are perfect for those who prefer not to fold their correspondence, as well sending multi-page documents such as detailed quotations, schedules of work and much more.
If you’re planning to send out leaflets to advertise your business then C5 envelopes are great for accommodating a mail shot.
Of course, if you run a business where you’ll be sending out items that are more substantial than a letter then you’ll also need to have a stock of padded or protective envelopes.
Whatever business you are in, it’s important to have the right stationery to enable you to communicate and run your business effectively. Taking just a few minutes to think about your requirements will save you time, money, frustration and space in the stationery cupboard.
