Non-window envelopes

Use the complete face deliberately when no window sets the layout.

A non-window envelope gives the artwork and addressing process a different relationship. Define how recipient details are added before final placement.

Unbranded white, manilla, navy, teal and sheer envelopes in window, wallet and pocket formats with a letterhead.
