Buying Colored Envelopes Online Has Never Been Easier

A wide selection of nearly 20 different colors is available, so you can choose the perfect shade for any occasion. Options include:

  • Red, yellow, blue, cream, brown, lilac, black, gold, transparent, purple, and more!

Beyond color, envelopes can also be categorized by material. While standard paper is the most common, other options include:

  • Recycled paper envelopes for eco-conscious choices
  • Padded envelopes for extra protection
  • Translucent envelopes, offering a subtle and elegant way to reveal the contents inside
  • Kraft paper envelopes, made from wood pulp for added rigidity
  • Cardboard envelopes, the most durable and resistant

Envelope Closures

The type of closure also defines the functionality of colored envelopes:

  • Self-adhesive flap – Features a peel-and-seal strip for secure closure
  • Self-seal envelopes – Provide the highest level of protection and privacy
  • Gummed flap – The most cost-effective option, ideal for hand-delivered letters

Just like white envelopes, colored envelopes can be purchased with or without a window. Many businesses prefer windowed models when sending corporate or promotional mailings, as they streamline the mailing process.
