Envelope-making is an art form in its own right, requiring a particular skill set. The journey of an envelope, be it bespoke, hand-made or machine-made, starts with the process of designing the shape. Cutting, scoring, folding, glueing and finally gumming the paper are some of the steps required to create functionally elegant enclosures.
Creating the finish
The craft of envelope-making requires careful alignment to ensure durability and a precise fit for its contents. Standard features of envelope-making include custom sizes, flap styles, and adhesive options to seal the envelope securely, while bespoke envelope-making includes speciality techniques, like die-cutting or edge finishing, to achieve unique shapes and edges. At Mount Street Printers an array of options including paper choices, custom sizes and finishing touches, such as tissue lining are available to add sophistication and visual appeal to the finished product.
Not only do we produce all our envelopes in-house, but we also have the ability to machine-make envelopes in heavy-weight papers over and above what most envelope makers are capable of producing.
