Caring for the Environment
We've always been big on really listening to our customers and their unique set of needs and then providing the best possible solution for them.
We recycle everything we can and have done since 1976. Because it's the little things (like how we use motion activated lighting) combined with the big things (like how we recycle all of our waste) that can make a real difference.
Founded in Auckland in 1976, we are a privately owned family business. Almost 40 years on, we employ close to 200 staff and have branches across Australia and New Zealand.
Our commitment to delivering only the highest quality products means we are constantly investing in new technology. We are always looking for ways to improve and grow as a business.

Guidelines & Tips
MAILHOUSE GUIDELINES
Cut your mailing costs by choosing the right envelope.
You can save hundreds of dollars simply by using an envelope suited to mailhouse equipment. Makes sense doesn’t it?
Our envelopes are made to whizz through mailhouse machines, meaning less time and less hassle for everyone.
Before you order envelopes for mailhouse use, check first if the mailhouse is using hand or mechanical insertion. For mechanical insertion, envelopes must be tropical seal (we even have a choice of outside or inside side-seams).
WINDOW POSITION
Standard window positions on our stock range cater for most business needs. However, windows can be positioned in a variety of places, vary in size, shape and number, and be on one side of an envelope or both. Talk to us about your special requirements.
STORAGE
Envelopes are best stored in a cool, dry, ventilated place. This is especially important for self seal envelopes as the glue is sensitive to light and open air conditions. Store in a sealed box to protect from dust and light (in the outer carton where possible).
POST GUIDELINES
Your postal provider has useful information about sending bulk mail on their website. We have provided links to these pages here:

Custom Envelopes

You can vary the size of your envelope, get creative with the window position, use fancy paper or even supply your own printed sheets.
Ideal for direct mail campaigns. Just let us know what you want to achieve and we’ll figure out the best way to make it happen.

own envelopes?

Our advice could potentially save
