The Official Looking DL Envelopes

Make your mail-outs fun (or at the very least, professional looking).

Remember when receiving mail used to be fun? Do you recall the excitement of seeing your name on the front of the envelope? The anticipation? The act of opening the envelope to access the goodies within… it was like Christmas! Well actually, often it would be just that: Christmas. And you’d be receiving a Christmas card from your buddy Fred across the road. Other times it was a birthday invite, or pen pal letter… the range and therefore volume of mail a ten year old receives was, and still is, rather limited. But it didn’t matter – in fact that was the point – as a ten year old, you would have received so few items in the post, that it was a novel experience – and an exciting one.

Fast forward twenty years and if you’re anything like us, the novelty’s worn off. Items that end up in your letterbox are usually pretty pointless, boring, or expensive. In fact, if you recently overstayed your welcome in a city parking spot, and then received mail encased in an official looking DL envelope, your heart probably dropped as you opened that bit of mail. Fun? Nope. Fine? Uh-huh.

Let’s face it, no-one over the age of 18 is realllllyyy that excited about mail anymore – unless you love electricity bills – and if that’s you, then please go and get yourself checked out. What this means, though, is that if you’re a business owner, this is something you can take advantage of. Most of your customers are expecting bank statements and water bills to land in their letterbox – so this is your opportunity to fill the DL envelopes you send them with something different.

At Envelope Printing, we specialise in creating high quality custom envelopes in various shapes and sizes. This means you can create your very own branded envelopes and send your clientele mail in sleek, sophisticated style. It also means that when your customers open their letterbox and see your branding, they immediately know they are receiving something from you, increasing the odds of your mail-out actually being opened.

So, why DL?

DL stands for Dimension Lengthwise, which is a popularly used size of envelopes and promotional materials. To give you an idea of its size and shape, a DL envelope fits an A4 sheet when folded in 3 equal sections. Pamphlets, brochures, compliments slips, booklets, invitations, and greeting cards are commonly also manufactured in the DL size.

However, at Envelope Printing, we understand that one size does not fit all. So, depending on your requirements, you might find that you’re more of a DLX, C4 or C5 person/business. If that’s the case, then simply peruse the sizes and styles we have on offer before you place your order. We’re here to take care of all your envelope printing needs, so that you can focus on filling them. Preferably with something exciting, and not a fine.
