At NextPage, we believe the envelope should get just as much attention as what goes inside of it. It’s the first impression you make. Now you can make the ultimate first impression. We are pleased to offer new shape-cut envelopes that literally take your direct mail outside the box.

These envelopes are not sold in stores. NextPage is one of very few printers in America that has the equipment to produce them. We print and convert them in-house and customize them specifically for your direct mail campaign.

NextPage CEO Gina Danner says, “The first thing for any successful direct mail campaign is to engage the recipient. So if you can break through the clutter of what they see [in the mail] all the time, aka a white rectangular envelope, by a dynamically printed full-color shape-cut envelope then your recipients will be more interested and you have a better chance to engage them.”

Each shape must be tested and approved by the USPS to ensure they will process through the automated machines without causing jams or stacking problems. Fortunately, NextPage has a set of pre-approved shapes available to you now, round and square. You can use these to draft your design concepts before reviewing them with your account executive.
