Envelope Services

Mail Solutions Trailer

We're not one of the UK's leading envelope manufacturers just because we have all the very latest equipment and technology!

Mail Solutions has also built a reputation for providing an excellent service to each individual customer, by offering help, advice and guidance with every order to ensure a smooth and efficient delivery, in addition to presenting an array of supporting ancillary services.

  • Providing quotations
  • Processing and progressing orders
  • Stock management
  • Stock call-offs
  • Technical support
  • Order and invoice queries

From the initial conception of your envelope artwork to completion of press ready plates, our highly experienced and committed Reprographics team are on hand to offer expert advice and guidance on your designs.

All customers have the opportunity to make use of this service by liaising with their Account Co-ordinator, who will then work in conjunction with our Reprographics Studio to develop the exact envelope design you require.

If you are able to provide artwork for your envelope design, we can receive artwork on disk (CD-ROM, DVD), by e-mail and FTP. Equipped with modern PC’s and Apple Macs, our system supports the following application programmes:
