DL envelopes often referred to as business envelopes are one of the most popular types of envelopes use for professional correspondence which can hold an A4 sheet of paper folded twice into 3 even parts or an A5 sheet folded once. DL envelopes can hold more than one sheet of paper but to get a professional result it is advised to put only one sheet of paper in this type of envelopes. The exact dimensions of a DL envelope are 110 X 220mm (41/4"x85/8").

Window DL Envelopes

DL envelopes 110 x 220mm are available as windowed envelopes – this allows printing the address on the letter that is put in the envelope which secures the address details and also creates a highly professional look. Plain DL envelopes are great if you want to print the address directly on the envelope or stick an address label on it – such envelopes are more suitable for private correspondence rather than for business purposes.

When shopping for DL envelopes one of the things you need to decide on is the sealing method. The old fashioned gummed envelopes in which you need to moisten the glue to seal the envelope are becoming less and less popular. Most of DL envelopes available nowadays can be sealed in two ways. First type is the press and seal which uses glue on the flap and top of the envelope that needs to be pressed together in order to create secure bond. The second method is called peel and seal – to seal the envelope you need to remove a plastic strip which covers the glue and just press the flap and envelope together. This method creates the strongest bond as the glue is protected by the plastic strip and isn't exposed until you remove the strip.

DL envelopes 110 x 220mm are available in different weights which are expressed in gsm (grams per square meter), similar to paper. Basic DL envelopes usually start at 80gsm and this is suitable for everyday correspondence. If you require the letters to look more important and elegant you should choose envelopes which weight is at least 100gsm.
