Envelope Converting

Envelopes with special design elements such as bleeds, tight registration, heavy coverage, embossing or foil stamping, or use of a paper not readily available as a pre-made envelope, can be printed on a flat sheet and then converted into a finished envelope.

Design considerations:

  • Extend bleed edges 1/8”.
  • There may be some variance at the bleed edge due to converting tolerances.
  • Special envelope sizes or flaps require custom dies.
  • No ink on glue areas.
  • Heavy ink coverage requires a varnish or aqueous coating to avoid marring during the converting process.
  • Standard production time for the converting process is five working days.
  • Converted envelopes are more cost-effective in larger quantities.
MGTL will provide a folded, glued mockup of a digital proof for your approval prior to printing.
