Envelopments Paper & Printing Reference Guide

Below we've created a listing of all the Envelopments papers and cardstocks and recommended printing
methods to assist you in selecting the perfect paper for your project. We want you to be successful, so if you have
any questions, just give us a call.

C1 = Basic Cardstock (65 - 110# cover, depening on color)

C2 = Metallic Cardstock (90-110# cover, depending on color)

C3 = Botanical/Handmade Cardstock

C4 = Printed Cardstock (Anna Griffin and Fitzgraphics)

P1 = Basic Paper

P2 = Metallic Paper/Specialty Paper

V1= Lighter weight cardstock

V2 = Slightly heavier cardstock

***

NR = Not Recommended, either because paper is not suitable for the printing process or because the color is too dark for the ink to show up.
For example, ink from a laser may not stick to very textured papers, and ink jet ink does not always stick well to metallic stocks.

1 = Darker colors recommended for readability

2= Paper color may affect the appearance and color of ink

* = Especially on specialty printing such as letterpress or engraving, check with your printer to determine if the paper is suitable.

NOTE: White ink is generally only available as Foil or in some cases, Engraving. These services are available through EnvelopMe by
Custom Quote only, as both processes are somewhat more costly than traditional methods.
