Side-opening note envelope / LETTER

A good fit for your idea?

Letter and A4 preserve the component dimensions. Choose the sheet you will print, not a different object size.

Materials and construction

Ordinary paper for a first trial; scissors; ruler; a blunt scoring tool; a small amount of paper adhesive.

Before making a batch

Measure the 50 mm line and both panel dimensions.

Check that the note enters without catching on adhesive.

Open and close the short-side flap repeatedly; record any tearing.

Main panel: 90 x 60 mm.

Joining flaps: 8 mm; side closure: 22 mm.

Separate note: 80 x 50 mm; fit is provisional.

From file to finished page

  1. Cut the single envelope outline and the separate note. Keep the shaded joining flaps attached.
  2. Score the dashed lines. Fold the lower panel behind the upper panel, keeping both 90 mm edges aligned.
  3. Fold the two 8 mm joining flaps around the back panel. Apply a thin adhesive line only inside the shaded areas.
  4. Leave the 22 mm side closure unglued. Dry the pocket flat and check that its short-side opening is clear.
  5. Insert the trial note from the short side. Fold the closure inward, without forcing the corners.
