At the start of the school year, parents, teachers, and students prepare their back to school stationery lists. Pens, exercise books, and pencil cases may take centre stage, but one item schools often overlook is just as vital: envelopes. Envelopes remain the unsung hero:
-
Clear and secure communication
-
Schools rely heavily on communication between teachers, administrators, students and parents. Envelopes provide a tangible difference in ensuring important letters, report cards, well done cards, permission slips and confidential documents arrive safely in the right hands, rather than in their junk email folder! At All Colour Envelopes, we make it easy for schools to choose the right envelope. Go green with eco-friendly envelopes, and even add a personal touch with customised designs.
-
Organisation Made simple
-
From distributing fund raising materials to sorting student assignments, our coloured envelopes, keep invites protected, raises the profile of your campaigns and can enable teachers to group items by class, grade or event, reducing the risk of misplaced forms and ensuring each student gets what they need. We have a variety of envelope sizes to ensure you can remain organised for all your tasks.
-
Supporting School reports and assessments
-
Our C4 (A4) Board Back Envelopes can assist where presentation matters. They provide a secure method to send letters home which show attention to detail and professionalism. Parents and guardians are more likely to take communication seriously when it arrives in a sealed envelope rather than a loose handout in a backpack.
-
Cost effective and accessible
-
Envelopes are inexpensive yet highly effective tools. Schools can purchase them in bulk, using our bulk discounts making them a cost efficient way to manager communication needs throughout the year. Unlike digital communications, they ensure inclusivity of all families and are much less likely to get lost in numerous junk emails which are lost in the swipe of a finger or mouse.
-
Sustainable and recyclable
-
In today’s world, sustainable envelopes have transitioned from a preference to a necessity, particularly for schools aiming to reduce their carbon footprint.
-
Our eco-friendly products make this easier than ever, with many envelopes being FSC® certified to ensure they are responsibly sourced, made from fully recycled paper and are fully recyclable, further details can be found in our recycling guide. We also provide plastic-free, biodegradable packaging to minimise waste.
Customise your school envelopes!
Want to make your school communications stand out from the crowd? Our custom-printed envelopes can be printed with your school logo, colours, or slogan. This instantly builds brand recognition and ensures that important letters aren’t overlooked.
Effective communication with parents can be achieved through letters featuring a recognisable logo and colour scheme. Invitations to school events and certificates or exam results in branded envelopes add a professional touch.
Customisation is more than just branding, it extends your communication with the user and it’s practical. Letters printed with your school’s name and colours are instantly recognisable, making it less likely for them to be ignored or mistaken for junk mail.
Conclusion
Though often overlooked, envelopes remain an essential part of school life. They provide secure communication, simplify organisation, extend the school brand beyond the school gates and lend professionalism to interactions between schools and families. In a world rushing towards digital solutions, envelopes prove that sometimes the simplest tools, perhaps handwritten, are the most effective. We make it easy to find the perfect match for your communication needs.
