FAQ
What can I use cardboard envelopes for?
Most often for safely shipping documents, but also as an alternative to a box for small, flat items - photos, certificates, prints, catalogues, CDs/DVDs, thin books or calendars. They protect the contents from bending.
What is the difference between a solid and a corrugated cardboard envelope?
A solid cardboard envelope is made of smooth, solid board - thin yet very rigid, ideal for documents and photos. A corrugated cardboard envelope is more resistant to bending and impact, so it works better for heavier items such as catalogues or books.
Are cardboard envelopes suitable for shipping books?
Yes, especially the corrugated version, which protects better against damage. For thin books a cardboard envelope is enough; for thicker or heavier titles a shipping box is a safer choice.
What document size fits in the envelope?
A C4 envelope measuring about 32.4 x 22.9 cm fits an A4 document, and a C5 measuring about 23 x 16 cm - an A5 document. More sizes are available; you will choose them on the product page.
Can cardboard envelopes be printed, including inside?
You can print the outer surface in full colour with your logo or graphic in the online editor. As standard we do not print inside a cardboard envelope - if you need this, contact us for an individual quote.
