What is the difference between standard and premium envelopes?

The difference is mostly in the stock you print on. Standard envelopes use a clean, basic white paper that looks professional and keeps costs down, while premium envelopes use heavier, textured, or specialty sheets that feel substantial the moment someone picks them up.

• Standard: uncoated white wove stock, smooth finish, ideal for everyday mailings, invoices, and high-volume business correspondence.
• Premium: thicker weights, linen or felt textures, and specialty colors that signal quality before the flap is even opened.
• Best fit for premium: wedding and event invitations, client gifts, and any piece where the unboxing moment matters.
• Best fit for standard: statements, remittances, and bulk direct mail where cost per piece is the priority.

If the envelope is the first thing a recipient touches, premium stock earns its keep. For routine mail, standard is the smarter spend.
