Tips & Templates
Here are some tips if you are printing onto envelopes:
- Envelope minimum size for printing onto is 146mm x 98mm.
- Image quality will be affected in front of seams so avoid high coverage in these areas.
- Envelopes may skew slightly so avoid a border too close to the edge of the envelope or too close to the window.
- If you are bulk mailing you will need to make sure your design complies with the NZ Post restrictions.
- If supplying your own envelopes then side seam envelopes are better than diagonal seams and strip seal envelopes are best.
Design
For digitally printed envelopes please allow at least 5mm clear space around the edge of your design as we can not print full bleed onto pre formed envelopes (with colour to the edge of the envelope). If full edge bleed is required we can supply cut and form envelopes. These are printed first on flat paper and then cut and formed into the envelope shape.
If you have any questions it is usually easier to call and get the answers before you start designing to avoid any extra costs that may be incurred if we need to fix your file so it is suitable for printing.
Files
When supplying your electronic file for digital printing we always prefer to receive your file in PDF format. This will happen automatically if you print using Web to Print, or alternatively our PDF Resource page lists a number of free PDF creation options. If your job is to be offset printed (eg you need specific Pantone colours, embossing or foiling) then usually we would prefer the native file. You can supply them 1up on the sheet as we have software that will automatically gangup multiple cards to fill the sheet.
