Design Tips
- →The address window on a #10 window envelope is positioned 1 in from the left and 0.5 in from the bottom — if using a window envelope, design the document inside so the address lands in that zone when folded.
- →For branded envelopes, the return address goes in the upper-left, and your logo should sit within the top 25 mm of the envelope height.
- →Custom printed #10 envelopes require CMYK and are typically printed flat then folded — design the flat artwork with fold and glue tab marks.
- →USPS barcode placement zone is the bottom 5/8 inch (15.9 mm) of the envelope — avoid placing any design elements in this area.
