How the shape is constructed

The address panel carries two side flaps with angled ends. The bottom flap forms the back. The straight or pointed closure flap sits at the top on the long edge. Its depth and the bottom flap depth are calculated as proportions of envelope height.

How it is assembled

Fold the side flaps inwards, place the bottom flap over them and glue it to the side flaps. After filling, fold over the closure flap and seal with adhesive strips or glue.

What to consider for this construction

Side flap

Width of the side flaps to which the bottom flap is glued; no more than 40 % of the width and 30 % of the height.

Bottom flap

Bottom flap depth as a proportion of height; it forms the back of the envelope.

Closure flap

Closure flap depth as a proportion of height.

Closure flap shape

Straight (slightly inset sides, rounded corners) or pointed (triangle with a rounded tip).

Frequently asked questions

What does 229 × 162 mm mean for the wallet?

It denotes the closed finished format as the outside dimension of the address panel. The opening lies along the long edge. The flat blank also includes side, bottom and closure flaps. Measure your contents separately and check insertion; the finished format alone does not confirm sufficient internal clearance.

Can I choose a pointed closure flap?

Yes. walletClosureShape offers straight and pointed. The pointed shape is a triangle with a rounded tip; the straight shape has inset sides and rounded corners. Both use the set closure flap depth. Check glue application on the actual selected shape.

How are the two large flaps adjusted?

walletBottomFlap and walletClosureFlap are percentages of envelope height. Changing the height therefore changes both depths. The bottom flap forms the back; the closure flap closes the opening. Recheck the resulting overlap after every size change rather than simply scaling an old blank.
