Remits 1 way
These envelopes can be printed 2 ways.
1. Pre-converted, that is blank off the shelf, and we just imprint them.
2. Converted, that is we print on flat sheets, then we take them to a subcontrator to convert to requested size. This is done when the runs are over 10,000 or the art is too complicated to imprint on off the shelf envelopes.
