Envelope liners are an easy yet impactful way to add style and personality to custom stationery. Whether you’re designing wedding invitations, holiday cards, or boutique greeting cards, liners can transform a simple envelope into an eye-popping element. We’ve done our best to gather everything you need to know about them!
What Are Envelope Liners?
Envelope liners are decorative pieces of paper that line the inside flap of an envelope, adding a touch of luxury, color or pattern. They can feature personalization like monograms, printed patterns or solid colors. They are an extension of the stationery design, and they offer a preview of the experience recipients can expect when they open their mail. Check out our Cheat Sheet for a quick view of the liner sizes and styles we offer including the very popular A7 envelope liners in both euro flap and standard flap. We suggest that you shop envelope liners to see our product spec requirements before designing.
Lightweight, No Added Cost
Lightweight paper stocks, such as text-weight paper or vellum, are thin enough to fit inside the envelope without adding too much bulk. TOG.ink’s custom envelope liners are made of 70 lb. text-weight paper, which means no added cost when mailing. Specialty materials like metallic or textured papers are popular for creating a luxe finish but watch the thickness. If you make your own, make sure the papers fold well and be sure to weigh a completed suite to see how much postage will be.
How to Attach Envelope Liners
TOG.ink liners come with adhesive strips on the back to make attaching them to the inside of the envelope quick and easy. If making your own, we recommend double-sided tape because it keeps everything secure with warping the envelope or showing through it. Glue sticks are also an options but go light!
Attaching Liners in 5 Easy Steps
- Leave the adhesive strip on while determining placement.
- Place the liner inside the envelope but not to the bottom.
- Align the liner with the envelope flap without covering the gummed portion.
- DO NOT ATTACH YET. Now fold the flap over and crease.
- Unfold the flap and remove the adhesive strip. Now stick the liner to the envelope flap.
Can You Print Custom Designs?
Absolutely! Custom printing is one of the biggest advantages of envelope liners. Stationery designers can print anything from subtle patterns to bold illustrations. Liners are a great place to showcase themed artwork, monograms or even surprise messages. TOG.ink offers vibrant, state-of-the-art digital printing on a variety of sizes and styles. Our best seller is A7 envelope liners with a euro flap, which customers typically use for custom wedding invitation suites.
Now that you’ve got the rundown, start planning how you’re going to use these little works of art in your next masterpiece!
