Business envelopes, also known as commercial envelopes, are characteristically open side style with diagonal seams. White #6-3/4 Business envelopes measure 3-5/8" x 6-1/2" and are made from varying paper weights. White #6-3/4 business envelopes are standard for mailing and come in a range of paper stocks, weights, and security features.

While historically the smaller sized envelopes were known as commercials and sizes 7 through 14 were called officials, the Envelope Supplies Shop uses the term business envelopes for all sizes.
