Frequently Asked Questions
Do C6 Envelopes Fit A6 Paper?
Yes, a C6 envelope is designed to fit an A6 piece of paper or A6 card blank, without folding. There is typically a small amount of extra space to allow for easy insertion.
What Is a C6 Envelope?
The dimensions of a C6 envelope are 114mm x 162mm, and C6 envelopes are designed to fit an A6 sheet of paper. The C in the name C6 originates from the ISO 269 standard, which was established in 1975 and has since become the standard for paper sizing across the world.
When trying to match a paper or card blank size to an envelope, always think of envelopes as C and paper or card as A. C-series envelopes (C4, C5, C6 and C7) are designed to fit the corresponding A-series paper (A4, A5, A6 and A7). So, if you had an A6 card blank, then you would need a C6 envelope. If you had an A5 card blank, then you would need a C5 envelope.

Do you send your orders plain-cover?

However, we do offer the option for customers to request plain-cover shipping. During the checkout process, you will find a checkbox in the delivery address entry fields labeled "Send plain cover?" Selecting this option means your parcel will be sent without any reference to The Envelope People. We will modify the shipping labels, omit any promotional materials, and the tracking information will be sent from 'Trade and Retail Suppliers' instead of 'The Envelope People'.
