CUSTOMER QUESTIONS

A7 Envelopes — Frequently Asked Questions

What size card fits in an A7 envelope?

An A7 envelope is designed to hold a standard 5" × 7" card, making it the preferred choice for wedding invitations, formal announcements, graduation cards, holiday cards, and premium event invitations.

What is the difference between A2, A6, and A7 envelopes?

All three are announcement-style envelopes, but each accommodates a different card size. A2 envelopes measure 4.375" × 5.75" and fit 4.25" × 5.5" cards. A6 envelopes measure 4.75" × 6.5" and are commonly used for notecards and 4" × 6" invitations. A7 envelopes measure 5.25" × 7.25" and are the industry standard for 5" × 7" wedding invitations, formal announcements, and premium greeting cards.

Can Bellia print custom A7 envelopes?

Yes. We print custom A7 envelopes in full color or black with your logo, return address, personalized graphics, or custom artwork. Custom A7 envelope printing is ideal for weddings, corporate events, holiday mailings, nonprofit fundraisers, and premium stationery.

Can Bellia design matching invitations and envelopes?

Yes. Bellia’s in-house design team can create coordinated invitation cards and A7 envelopes that share the same colors, typography, branding, and artwork. Need help getting started? Learn more about our Graphic Design services.

What file format should I upload?

Submit a print-ready PDF in CMYK color mode. Use our A7 envelope template to confirm the correct finished size, safe area, and address-clearance zones. No bleed or crop marks are required. Before submitting your order, carefully review your artwork, spelling, layout, and sizing to make sure everything is correct.

How do I make sure my A7 envelope order is correct before it prints?

Once you upload your artwork, you’ll review it and check a confirmation box verifying it’s correct before your order moves into production — there’s no separate proof step for uploaded artwork. If our in-house design team creates your envelope for you, we’ll share a design proof for your approval before it goes to print.

Do larger quantities lower the cost per envelope?

Yes. Ordering larger quantities generally reduces the cost per envelope, making custom A7 envelopes more economical for weddings, events, business correspondence, and recurring mailings. Request a custom quote for larger runs or specialty projects.
