Designing Your A8 Envelopes
A8 Envelopes can be printed with your return address, business information, logo or other artwork to create a professional, coordinated presentation. A printed return address can also save time when preparing a large quantity of invitations or announcements for mailing.
When designing your A8 Envelopes, keep important text and graphics within the recommended safe area and allow sufficient room for addressing, postage and postal processing. If artwork extends to the edge of the envelope, include the required bleed in your file.

What to Include on a Printed A8 Envelope
A printed A8 Envelope can include your return address, business name, logo or other artwork. For wedding invitations and announcements, a return address is typically placed on the back flap so undeliverable mail can be returned to you.
If you are using a business logo or other artwork, keep important elements within the recommended safe margin and make sure the artwork is prepared at the correct size and resolution. Always proofread your return address and other printed information carefully before submitting your artwork.
