August 10, 2007, Newsletter Issue #38: The Best Envelopes for Small Business Communication

Tip of the Week


If you still send data and invoices via snail mail, you should know which type of envelopes are appropriate for a small business.

Small envelopes are not considered professional. Folds should be tri-fold only, leaving only two creases in the paper. The standard business envelope is a #10 envelope.


A #10 envelope is 4-1/8" x 9-1/2". It is the most common business envelope size and is commonly used for standard 8-1/2" x 11" sheets of paper. Security tint is extremely important if you want to protect the recipient's privacy. Look for #10 envelopes with security tint if you are in need of sending snail mail to your customers.
