A7 Envelopes
Frequently Asked Questions
What are A7 envelopes used for?

Their perfect fit for a standard card size, combined with an elegant design, makes them ideal for both personal and professional correspondence.
What are the dimensions of an A7 envelope?

What is the difference between gummed and peel & seal A7 envelopes?
The difference lies in the sealing method. Gummed envelopes require moistening the flap to activate the adhesive, which provides a classic and traditional seal.

The peel and seal option is especially ideal for bulk wedding invitations and large event mailings.
