You know that pile of post on your desk right now? The brown Envelopes, the white window envelopes, the plain ones with handwritten addresses? How many did you actually open straight away?
Now think about the last time you received something in a properly printed, branded envelope. You opened that one first, didn't you?
At East London Printer, we've been printing envelopes for businesses just like yours for over a decade. And let me tell you - that envelope you're about to send isn't just packaging. It's your silent salesperson, your first impression, your chance to stand out before anyone even reads what's inside.
Why Your Plain Envelopes Are Costing You Money
Here's the hard truth:
Plain envelopes get lost in the sea of bills and junk mail
Handwritten addresses look unprofessional (even if your handwriting is nice)
Window envelopes scream "bill" - and we all know what happens to those
Printed envelopes? They:
Get opened first
Make you look established
Turn every mailout into marketing
Make the contents feel more important
Who's Using Printed Envelopes? (And Why)

What You Can Print On Your Envelopes
It's not just about slapping your logo on there (though that's a good start). You can print:
Your return address (so you never have to write it again)
Special messages ("Urgent", "Thank you", "You're invited")
QR codes that link to your website or special offer
Full colour designs that match your brand

How It Works
You tell us what you need (size, quantity, design)
We print them properly (no smudges or wonky printing)
You get perfect envelopes (often the same day)
No complicated processes. No "minimum order" nonsense. Just great envelopes done right.
"But I'm Not a Designer!"
Neither was the café down the road. We:

Because in business, first impressions matter - even before the envelope is opened.
P.S. That accountant I mentioned? He told me last week that since switching to printed envelopes, more clients are actually reading his letters instead of leaving them in piles. That's the power of a printed envelope.
