If you’ve ever wondered what size envelope best fits a 5×7 card, look no further! Whether you’re mailing invitations, thank you cards, or custom-designed greeting cards, the right envelope size can make all the difference in ensuring your cards arrive beautifully and professionally.
The Perfect Fit: A7 Envelopes for 5×7 Cards
For a standard 5×7 inch card, we recommend using our A7 envelopes, which measures 5 ¼ x 7 ¼ inches. This slight difference in size ensures your cards slide in effortlessly while maintaining a polished, snug appearance.
Our collection of A7 envelopes offers a variety of textures, colors, and paper weights, so you can find the perfect envelope to complement your card’s design. Plus, we offer matching A7 cards and paper to give your stationery that extra coordinated touch.
Pro Tip: When selecting envelopes, remember that you want them slightly larger than your cards for an easy fit and an elegant finish (Between 1/8 – 1/4 inch larger than your cards themselves is best).
What If My Invitation Is Bulkier?
If your stationery includes additional elements like inserts, ribbons, or wax seals that add extra thickness, you might need a bit more room. In this case, we recommend sizing up to our A7.5 envelopes, which measure 5 ½ x 7 ½ inches.
This extra space will accommodate your bulkier invitations or direct mail campaigns, ensuring they stay intact without bending or crumpling.
Try Before You Buy: Order Envelope Samples
