How Custom Printing Transforms Standard Do Not Bend Envelopes into Branded Assets

Turn every board-backed envelope into a brand ambassador with custom printing.

3 min readUpdated April 2025

The transformation

A plain do not bend envelope does its job but says nothing about your brand. Custom printing transforms it from anonymous packaging into a professional brand touchpoint that builds recognition, conveys quality, and differentiates your correspondence from the rest of the post pile.

Instant brand recognition on the doormat or in the post pile
Professional credibility that matches the importance of the contents
Marketing at zero extra distribution cost your brand reaches the recipient as part of delivery

Quick answer

Custom printed envelopes cost 15-40p more per unit than plain but deliver brand value on every item sent. Print your logo, brand colours, return address, and DO NOT BEND handling mark as an integrated design. Single-colour on kraft is cheapest; full-colour on white gives maximum impact. For businesses sending 100+ envelopes per month, the per-unit cost is a fraction of the brand-building value.

Print options

Your logo in one colour on brown board. Clean, modern, effective.

Brand colour plus black for text and details. Good balance of cost and impact.

Photo-quality printing for premium brand presentation.

From 100 units with no plate costs. Ideal for testing designs.

ROI of branded envelopes
