EA5 Envelope Size

What is the EA5 size for envelopes?

EA5 envelopes, although not a universal size, allow to send professional looking mail containing A4 sheets folded once or unfolded A5 sheets. Such envelopes have dimensions of 220 x 156 mm, therefore being very similar to the more common C5 envelopes. EA5 size envelopes are as large as a folded A4 and 5 m extra on each side to ensure that the documents do not move around inside the envelope. This is especially useful when you want to add an address window to your EA5 envelope.

When should I use EA5 Envelopes?

EA5 envelopes are a very common format used to send A4 documents by simply folding them. It is a versatile format in the sense that these envelopes can be used for transactional business mails just as they can be used to contain flyers, vouchers and other promotional documents. Of course, as it is a very standard size, it is important to find a way to stand out in your recipients’ mailboxes. A way to do so is by using the surface offered by the EA5 letter to add a creative design and text which both grabs attention and is consistent with your brand image.

It can be hard sometimes for your flyers to stand out in a crowded mailbox, and often, they will simply be thrown away, without getting the attention they deserve. A well designed EA5 size envelope can change this. By simply putting your offline direct mail material inside a catchy envelope, you will build curiosity from your target audience, urging them to open it and give attention to its content. The envelope can also act as a flyer in itself, by advertising directly on its surface. By adding an address window, you can create a more professional and personal touch for your clients and prospects.
