Good things come in small envelopes
Bookbinder Bari Zaki uses these envelopes to present her business cards, enclosure cards, swatches and snippets. The flaps are letterpress printed with four different mini-messages: BZ, www.barizaki.com, re:ad me, and re:ally tiny envelope.

Technical tip
The envelopes are printed with open flaps, on a Heidelberg Windmill, with no guides for registration. So, tight register is not recommended – the ideal is a single color.

Stock notes
These tiny envelopes (2-5/8 x 3-5/8) are commonly used to hold table cards at formal events. Their traditional Crane name is "Mr & Mrs Envelope." Available in: Kid Finish, Ecru white and Pearl white; Parchmont (smoother) Finish in Pearl white.
