Envelopes with Double Side Seams
Double side-seams construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope
rather than diagonal seams. This style may be more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the
seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as illustrated below.
Envelopes with Adhesive Strips or Flaps
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to
seal must use adhesives compatible with the heat and pressure in the machine. The
extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing or even jams and may even
damage the fuser.
Envelope Margins

OTES
:
• For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.6 in.) from the
edges of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
Envelope Storage
Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to print quality. Envelopes should be
stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, then the envelope
may wrinkle during printing.
