How to Choose the Right Check Envelope
- Match your check layout: Top, middle, bottom, and voucher checks may need different window placement.
- Check your software: QuickBooks, Sage, CS Professional, and other programs print addresses differently.
- Choose your seal type: Moisture seal is traditional. Self seal is faster for larger mailings.
- Request samples: Testing a sample envelope helps prevent ordering the wrong size.
Moisture Seal vs Self Seal Check Envelopes
Moisture seal envelopes are a reliable option for everyday business mailing. Self seal envelopes are faster and easier to close, making them a better choice when mailing larger batches of checks, invoices, or statements.
