NOTES - Executive (Monarch Style) Envelopes
l Envelope dimensions should not vary more than + .062" (1.6 mm).
l Side flaps should be securely bonded to bottom flap without any curl or ripple between the flaps.
l Open window envelopes cannot have any part of the window above the "V" in the back panel of
the envelope. In open window envelopes (no patch), the window should be located .75" (19 mm)
minimum from either side, top and bottom of the envelope.
l All window patches should be flat, ripple free and bonded within .062" (1.6 mm) of the top edge of
the patch material and top edge of the window cut out(s). If the window patch area is one third or
more of the total area of the envelope's front panel, then the envelope must be tested.
l In those cases where any part of the side of the patch material is within 1.0" (25 mm) from any
envelope side edge, the following applies:
o
If the top of the patch material falls within .375 (9.6 mm) of the crease score line, the patch
material should be raised to within .062" (1.6 mm) or closer to the crease line.
o
The throat should be a maximum of .25" (6.4 mm) below the crease line at .75" (19 mm) from
the side edges.
l Envelope curl or twist should not exceed .25" (6.4 mm) when envelope is placed on a flat surface.
l Paper stock may range from 20 lb (75 gsm) minimum to 28 lb (105 gsm) maximum, but 24 lb (90
gsm) is suggested.
l Envelopes whose characteristics fall outside of these construction guidelines must be evaluated by
Pitney Bowes.
