Catalog Window Envelopes – A Clear Choice for Your Mailing

A less common catalog envelope, which can be difficult to find, is the 9″ x 11-1/2″ catalog envelope with a window. The Supplies Shops offers such an open end envelope though, measuring 9″ x 11-1/2″ with a 1-3/8″ x 4″ poly window as a stock item. It is constructed from 28# white sulphite paper and has a remoistening seal. One of the great things about having a 9” x 11-1/2” catalog envelope rather than a 9” x 12” envelope, is that your materials inside are less likely to shift around inside the envelope. This reduces the probability of shifted materials causing difficulty in reading the address through the window.


Catalog window envelopes are ideal for mailing important documents that you want to keep flat, without having to fold to insert into a standard business envelope. As the name implies, they can be used to mail catalogs, but are also commonly used to send booklets, magazines, sales literature, bulky documents, and statements.

Catalog window envelopes can also save you money on your mailing. With an adequate window for address information, you can save on printing your envelopes. The contact information on your printed piece can be used to show through the window meaning you only have to have postage applied.

If, however, you do need your envelopes printed, The Supplies Shops is more than capable of producing custom printed envelopes. We can also manufacture custom envelopes sizes for you, if you need a special size, envelope material, or window placement.
