Get Your Mail Opened With Printed Envelopes
Before anyone reads a word of the letter inside, they read the front of the envelope: who sent it, and whether it looks worth opening. A plain white sleeve says nothing, but one with your logo and return address printed on it signals you take the small stuff seriously, and that does real work on an invoice, a statement, or a letter that needs to get read. Printed envelopes start at $142.99 for a run of 250 across 5 stocks, rated 4.9 out of 5 across 73 reviews, made online since 1999.
These are working stationery, not party favors. A printed envelope carries your brand from the mailroom to the recipient's desk, and it pairs with the rest of your suite so every piece of paper you send looks like it came from the same place. Want to see how these sit next to the rest of the range? Browse the full lineup on envelopes printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
The price rewards a bigger run, and the jump is smaller than you would guess. A run of 250 starts at $142.99, but 1,000 envelopes run just $153.87, only about 11 dollars more for four times the count. From there the per-envelope cost keeps sliding, from roughly 57 cents at 250 down to about 11 cents each at 5,000. Tap any tier below to see the live run total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.
What Are Printed Envelopes?
Printed envelopes are custom mailing envelopes printed with your return address, logo, or design on the front, here on 5 stocks led by everyday White Wove, in 41 size and style options from a #6 1/4 up to a 10x13 booklet. People reach for them to make the outside of a mailing look as considered as the letter inside: invoices and statements, everyday business letters, direct mail, shipping mailers, and event invitations. Because the front is printed to match your letterhead, the whole mailing reads as one brand instead of a sheet stuffed into a blank sleeve. If you would rather address plain envelopes by hand or run them through your own printer, the Blank Envelopes are the unprinted pick, and these printed envelopes sit right beside them as the version that carries your name.
What Size and Style Should a Printed Envelope Be?
The right size comes down to what goes inside. The #10 at 4.125" x 9.5" is the standard business size and fits a letter folded in thirds, so it handles the bulk of everyday mail. Going smaller, a #6 1/4 or #6 3/4 suits a short note or a remittance slip. Going bigger, the 6x9, 9x12, and 10x13 booklet and open-end sizes swallow a flat report, a catalog, or a press kit without a fold, and the A2 through A10 range handles invitations and cards. Beyond size you also pick a style: a Window frames the address printed on the letter inside, a Peel and Seel or Simple Seal flap closes without licking, and a Security Tint hides a check or statement so it cannot be read through the paper. All 41 options are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. For a specialty fundraising envelope instead, the Donation Envelopes are built for that job.
Here are a few easy ways to make a printed envelope pull its weight.
Print one color or all four
You do not have to go full color to look sharp. A single black or PMS spot ink on the front is plenty for a clean logo and return address, and it is the cheapest setup. Need a photo or a multi-color brand mark? Step up to two spot colors, or full 4-color that carries a busy logo cleanly. PMS spot inks keep a brand color exact from one run to the next, which is why they hold up better than process color for a flat logo, and each step up adds a set amount you see the moment you select it.
Add a window or a peel-and-seal flap
A window envelope frames the address printed on the letter inside, so you print the address once and skip the second pass through the printer. Peel-and-seal flaps close without licking, which matters when someone is stuffing a few hundred by hand. And a security tint adds a patterned inside lining that keeps a check or statement from being read through the paper.
Design it without a designer
You do not need a design background to make an envelope look finished. Start from one of the ready-made layouts in our envelope design templates, then change the colors, copy, and logo in the online editor in minutes. One clean return-address block or a small logo is usually all the front needs, and you preview it before you order.
How Much Do Printed Envelopes Cost?
Printed envelopes start at $142.99 per run of 250, and the per-envelope price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 5,000, so the real cost comes down to how big a run you order. Because the total barely moves between 250 and 1,000, a run of 1,000 at $153.87 works out far cheaper per piece, roughly 15 cents each against 57 cents at 250, and 5,000 lands near 11 cents each across 5 quantity tiers. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the run total and the true per-envelope cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget but stocks your mailroom for months.
Wally prints the envelope that gets opened
Why a $142.99 run of branded envelopes does real work in the mailroom.
A run of 250 printed envelopes costs $142.99 across 5 stocks, in 41 sizes and styles from a #6 1/4 up to a 10x13 booklet. Add a window, a peel-and-seal flap, or a security tint, print your return address in black, PMS, or full color, and Wally gets them printed fast, with a free online proof before you commit.
Can You Match the Ink to Your Brand?
Yes. You can print a return address, a logo, or a full design on the front, from a clean 1/0 black layout up to full 4/0 color, with single and double PMS options in between for an exact brand shade. Set it once and every envelope in the run carries the same front, matched to the sheet inside so the outer envelope and the letter read as one piece. Pair the right size with the right ink and a plain White Wove envelope becomes part of your brand, not just the thing that carries it.
How Do Printed Envelopes Compare to the Rest of the Range?
Printed envelopes are the everyday business pick, but they are not your only option. If you are weighing a card-suite envelope, a plain blank, or a specialty fundraising piece, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up printed envelopes against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose. For a mailing built around invitations and cards, the Invitation Envelopes are the option sized for a suite.

How Fast Can You Get Printed Envelopes?
Printed envelopes print on a 7 business day standard turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that up through faster rush tiers to as quick as 1 business day. Each faster tier buys back time for a set percentage on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Before the run goes to press you can add a free online proof to approve the artwork, so you catch a typo in the return address or a logo sitting too close to the flap before it prints. Pick your speed and your proof in the configurator and the price adjusts to match.
