Choosing the Right Envelope

For standard business correspondence in the US, the #10 envelope is the standard choice. For international mail, the DL envelope is most common. For unfolded documents, use 9x12 (US) or C4 (international). Invitation envelopes (A2, A7) are sized for greeting cards and invitations.
