    Please fill out the contact form below.

    What file formats do you accept for envelope design requests?

    Most typically used file formats are accepted, including Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator.

    How do I order more copies of an envelope you previously designed for me?

    If you need the files from a design we’ve previously created for you, log in and fill out the design services request form. Choose the option for reordering a design already on file, and indicate which file(s) you need. We’ll then process your request and email you the files along with instructions for placing the order in ROES.

    What do I need to know before creating my own envelope design?

    If you’re designing your own pre-pay envelopes, you’ll want to log in download our guide templates located on the left side of this page. Since pre-pay envelopes have perforations, pockets, adhesive strips, etc., it’s very important that you use our guide templates when creating your own envelope designs. This will help ensure that all of your information will print properly on the final product. If you’re looking for blank images of our products to use on your designs, you can download those on this page as well. The final files for the front and back of your envelope should be saved separately as JPEGs, at 300 dpi, in the sRGB colorspace. You can also access this information and these downloads on our pre-pay envelopes page.

    I’ve created my own envelope design, now what?

    If you’ve created your own design using our guide templates, you can order your pre-pay envelopes in ROES. Choose the “Pre-pay Envelopes” catalog in ROES, and click on the instructional info graphic to view the steps for ordering this product. For further assistance, please contact Customer Service.

    Can you check the design I’ve created to ensure it will print correctly before I order my envelopes in ROES?

    Yes, our Design Team can always double check your designs to ensure they’re formatted correctly before you place your order. Just log in and fill out the design services request form, choose this option, and upload your files. Please be advised that this option will follow the standard cutoff and turnaround times listed for design services. If we’re just checking your design and not editing anything, there is no cost associated with this service.

    Can you install templates or graphics that I've designed or purchased in the ordering software?

    Yes, you can send us your templates and graphics and our team can install them in the ordering software for you. These templates and graphics will be available and visible exclusively for your account number. Read more information regarding the turnaround times and pricing for this service at the top of this page, and fill out the Template Installation Request form to get started.

    How should I save the templates I've designed for you to install in the ordering software?

    Save your files at the print/product size (i.e. an 8×10 team photo) at 300 DPI, as PNGs with transparent areas for the photo nodes. For specialty items such as bag tags, be sure to use our guide templates when creating your templates to ensure they’ll be sized correctly. If you have any questions about sizing your files, please fill out the contact form below, or contact Customer Service.
