Envelopes that have double side seams

Envelopes that have adhesive strips or flaps

Envelopes that have a peel-off adhesive strip or more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives that are compatible with the heat and pressure in the printer. The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams.

Envelope margins

The following table shows typical address margins for a Commercial #10 or DL envelope.

	Table 11. Envelope margins
	Type of address	Top margin	Left margin
	Return address	15 mm (0.6 inch)	15 mm (0.6 inch)
	Delivery address	51 mm (2 inches)	89 mm (3.5 inches)
Note	For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.6 inch) from the edges of the
	envelope.

Envelope storage

Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to good print quality. Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, the envelope might wrinkle during printing.
