<p><strong>Remittance envelopes:</strong><br />

<p><strong>Other Envelope Facts:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>A Booklet envelope has the flap on the long side. For example, on a 9&#215;12 booklet, the flap is on the 12 inch side.</li>
<li>A Catalog envelope has the flap on the short side. For example, on a 9&#215;12 catalog, the flap is on the 9 inch side.</li>
<li>A converted envelope is when the envelope is printed on a flat sheet and then made into an envelope. This is opposed to printing on a preconverted envelope. A converted envelope is most economically feasible at larger quantities.</li>
<li>A square flap envelope with rounded corners is called a pictorial flap envelope. In most cases this is only available with a converted envelope.</li>
</ul>
