When should I use C56 Envelopes?

C5/6 size envelopes can be used for a number of purposes due to their standard size. For those that often send transactional emails to customers including invoices or contracts, this size is a safe option, especially when adding an address window. C5/6 envelopes also offer ample space to add an original design while simultaneously remaining a compact envelope, making it an ideal alternative for those wishing to make an impact on a limited budget.

By adding your company name and logo on the envelope or going all out with a full surface design, you can be sure to differentiate yourself from all the other direct mailing campaigns and reach your targets straight at their homes. C56 envelopes can also be used to carry promotional content by nudging the recipients into giving attention to what is inside; this is ever more important at an age where attention has become a rare commodity.

Envelopes of format C5/6 are available at Helloprint, but picking a size is not all. It is essential to also choose the right type of envelope to best suit your needs. Whether you want a plain envelope, a monster envelope or a boardback envelope, rest assured that you will find what you are looking for. You then just have to send us your design and we will take care of the rest, at the best price and most efficient turnaround.

If you are looking for a versatile and cost-efficient envelope to complement your direct mail campaigns or to send professional looking transactional mails, look no more; C5/6 is your go-to.
