The amount of times that at home, you spend a good our typing out a perfectly worded letter to say, your insurance company, the bank, etc complaining or amending details, only to finish and find you have no envelopes; it can be very frustrating! So you run down to your local newsagents or corner shop and buy whatever they have available there, only to find that they only stock cheap and badly made envelopes. Naturally you buy them anyway as you have no choice, but the price!!!

This scenario however just cannot happen in business; companies need a constant supply of envelopes in order to keep their business running smoothly and effectively. Without envelopes, vital communications grind to a halt, invoices are unsent, bills remain unpaid and your business ultimately suffers. This is not an option – always ensure you have surplus stock of envelopes, preferably the DL variety as they are most widely used in business communications.

As the most common envelope size used in business, we feel a strong urge to ‘plug’ our selection of DL envelopes as we don’t want to lose out to our competitors, particularly if they’re prices aren’t as low as ours, or their customer service is poor. Honesty is the best policy always, that why here at LA Office we like to be straight with our customers. Yes, this blog is aimed at bringing our beloved market and valued customers our way when it comes to purchasing envelopes, which I think is fair enough considering the vast selection of high quality envelopes we actually have!

The DL envelope is designed to accommodate an A4 sheet of paper folded over twice to create three roughly equal sections. Measuring 22cm in width and 11cm in height, the DL envelope is normally used for sending single page letters and documents. As the enclosed document will need to be folded twice, it will be marked with creases which can sometimes look unprofessional if there are more than two pages. For this reason we recommend using DL envelopes only for single page documents when you’re trying to put across a professional image. The DL envelope is not part of the ISO C series, which is the widely used standard size for envelopes. It is presumed that DL once stood for DIN Lang (Deutsche Industrie Norm, Long), however is now the abbreviation for “Dimension Lengthwise” by ISO 269. (See C Series Envelope Formats)

This envelope size is essential when you’re looking to send correspondents to customers; maybe chase payments, advise them on policy changes and so on. Due to its wide open flap and lightweight properties, it’s clear to see why this is the most cost effective and user friendly envelope in which to enclose a letter. Our favourite is the featured 5 Star 90gsm Office DL Envelopes which is perfect for all office mail. Featuring:

·         Medium weight 90gsm

·         Envelopes suitable for all kinds of general correspondence and mailings

·         White with blue opaque interior for security

·         Gummed

·         Wallet style

·         Size: DL 110 x 220mm
