About Envelopments

Envelopments, Inc. was founded in 1995 with the simple notion that there was a gap in the marketplace, with no company providing a variety of unique blank shapes of products, made from beautiful card stocks, to create card crafts, custom communiques, invitations and announcements. With that in mind, we introduced our flagship product, the Envelopment, in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes. The keystone to our mission is to offer our customers a full product line, very fast turnaround time, low minimums and helpful customer service.
