Custom Printed Envelopes & Checks

Custom Printed Envelopes & Checks

(Showing 5 of 5)

Four envelope sizes and one check, each for a specific job, and one pairing worth knowing about before you order.

A #9 envelope fits inside a #10, which is exactly what they are built for. Mail the statement in the #10 and enclose a printed #9 for the customer to return payment in, and you remove the friction that leaves a cheque sitting on someone's desk. For chasing wholesale or house account balances that does more than another reminder letter. The #12 at 4-3/4in x 11in takes documents a #10 would force you to fold a second time, which suits dealership paperwork and card stock items.

For anything carrying a cheque or account details, use the #8 security envelope. A standard envelope held to a light shows the shape and often the figures inside, which matters both on a cheque run leaving your building and on anything going to a customer's home. Pair it with the Autosoft compatible cheques, which are formatted to print in the alignment Autosoft expects; a cheque printing half an inch out is one your bank rejects. Every custom order goes to proof before printing, and your details are held for reordering, though bear in mind a change of address makes remaining stock obsolete, so order to that date rather than past it.

Custom Printed Envelopes and Checks

Four envelope sizes and one check, and each exists for a specific job. The sizes are not interchangeable, and one pairing in particular is worth knowing about.

The #9 and #10 Work as a Pair

A #9 envelope fits inside a #10. That is what they are designed for.

Send your statement or invoice in the #10, enclose a printed #9 for the customer to return payment in, and you have removed the friction that keeps a cheque sitting on someone's desk. For a dealership chasing wholesale or house account balances, that pairing does more for collection than another reminder letter.

Both are standard business gummed envelopes suited to routine mailings: statements, cheques, forms, brochures and general correspondence.

Security Envelopes for Cheques

The #8 security cheque envelope is sized for cheques and built so the contents cannot be read through the paper. It costs more than a standard business envelope, and for anything carrying a cheque or account details that difference is worth paying.

A standard envelope held to a light shows the shape and often the figures of what is inside. That matters on a cheque run leaving your building, and it matters on anything going to a customer's home address.

The #12 for Longer Documents

At 4-3/4in x 11in, the #12 envelope is longer than a #10 and takes documents a standard business envelope would force you to fold again. Useful for dealership paperwork, and for invitations, greeting cards and announcements where an extra fold would look wrong.

Autosoft Cheques

Dealermarket is the official supplier of Autosoft DMS compatible cheques. The 500 pack is formatted to print correctly from Autosoft, which is the part that matters: a cheque that prints half an inch out of alignment is a cheque your bank will reject.

Pair them with the #8 security envelopes for a cheque run that leaves the building without advertising what it is. See also Autosoft checks and Autosoft DMS forms and checks.

What Customisation Covers

Your dealership name, logo, return address and ink colours matched to your branding. Specify once and the details are held for reordering, so a repeat order does not mean going through artwork approval again.

Every custom order goes through a proof before printing. Our team confirms the details with you and the job only runs once you have approved it, which is the point at which a wrong phone number gets caught rather than after 2,000 envelopes are printed.

Why Print Them at All

A statement or cheque arriving in a plain envelope with a typed label reads as a mailing. One carrying your name reads as correspondence from a business the recipient deals with, and it gets opened first in a stack of post.

The practical argument is simpler still: the return address is printed rather than handwritten or stickered, so undeliverable mail comes back to you instead of disappearing.

FAQ

What is the difference between a #9 and a #10?

Size, and they are designed to work together. The #9 fits inside the #10, so you mail in the larger one and enclose the smaller for the reply. Order both if you send statements and want payment back promptly.

Do we need security envelopes for cheques?

For anything carrying a cheque or account details, yes. A standard envelope held up to a light reveals its contents. The #8 security envelope is built so it does not, and is sized specifically for cheques.

Will these cheques print correctly from Autosoft?

Yes. Dealermarket is the official supplier of Autosoft DMS compatible cheques, so the 500 pack is formatted to the alignment Autosoft expects. If you run a different DMS, call us before ordering rather than assuming the format transfers.

When should we use the #12 instead of the #10?

When the contents would need an extra fold. The #12 is 4-3/4in x 11in, longer than a #10, which suits dealership paperwork you would rather not crease twice, and card-stock items like invitations and announcements.

What happens after we place a custom order?

A proof. Our team confirms your logo, address, wording and ink colours with you, and nothing prints until you approve it. Your details are then held on file, so reordering does not mean repeating the process.

How many should we order?

Custom printing has setup built into the price, so cost per envelope drops as quantity rises, and a year's supply usually costs less than two half-year orders. Tell us your monthly volume and we will quote against it. Do bear in mind that a change of address or phone number makes remaining stock obsolete, so if a move is on the horizon, order to that date rather than beyond it.
