Question
How much do envelopes cost?
Answer
Envelope pricing is driven by a few variables, and the per-piece cost drops noticeably as your quantity climbs. There are no plate or setup fees folded into the total, so the number you see is what you pay.
- Size and format: a #10 business envelope prices differently than an A7 invitation or a 6x9 catalog envelope.
- Paper stock and weight: basic 24lb wove costs less than a thick textured or linen stock.
- Quantity: the biggest lever. Bulk tiers bring the unit price down fast.
- Print coverage: one-color return address is cheaper than full-color, and one-sided beats two-sided.
- Finishing: windows, peel-and-seal gum, or specialty coatings add to the base price.
Common envelope sizes for reference:
| Envelope | Size | Common use |
|---|---|---|
| #10 business | 4.125" x 9.5" | Letters, invoices, statements |
