For announcement envelopes, there are two basic types: Commercial and Social.
Commercial Announcements are usually supplied with a single gummed envelope. The most commonly used type of announcement is the baronial card or folder. Baronials are usually manufactured using a vellum finished paper in both white and ivory. Packaged in two different formats, with matching folders available for most sizes.
Social Announcements are available in a wide variety of sizes. They are packaged bulk in cartons for high volume usues, as well as in the retail cabinet pack. In bulk pack, envelopes are packaged separately from the invitations. Cabinets for the invitatinos consist of 52 sheets, 50 ungummed insude, 50 gummed outside envelopes and 50 tissues. The box is shrink wrapped for cleanliness and easy display, with a lid on the bottom for reuse in delivering the printed invitation to the end user. Cabinets for Thank You's, Reception and Response Folders or Cards are packed 102 sheets with 100 outside envelopes.
Traditional Announcements are manufactured from white and natural shades of papeterie papers. Some traditional announcements are produces from cotton fiber, but most are made from high grade sulphite paper. The matching envelope style is normally diagonal seam, pointed flap. The folders and cards may be produced either with or without a debossed panel.
Contemporary Announcements cover a wide range of styles and papers. They may incorporate color in the design as well as a variety of colored ink in the personalization of the announcement. The paper used in contemporary announcements may be vallum, laid, texture or parchment finishes. Deckle edge papers are often used in these newer styled announcements.
