How the shape is constructed

The address panel has two side flaps, a bottom flap, and a closure flap at the top opening. The side flaps have beveled ends. The bottom flap forms the back. Unlike the wallet, closure flap depth here is set as a length in millimeters.

How it is assembled

Fold the side flaps inward, lay the bottom flap over them, and glue it to the side flaps. After filling, fold over the closure flap and seal with a self-adhesive strip or glue.

What to consider for this construction

Side flap

Width of the side flaps to which the bottom flap is glued; at most 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

Depth of the closure flap at the opening; at most 60 % of height.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the starting size 162 × 229 mm?

The pocket envelope uses C5 portrait as its closed finished size starting value. Width runs crosswise, height lengthwise on the address panel; the opening is at the top. The wallet starts in landscape orientation. They are separate construction IDs and also differ in closure flap settings, not only in swapped dimensions.

Does the closure flap automatically grow longer with greater height?

No. envelopeClosureFlap is a length in millimeters. envelopeBottomFlap, by contrast, is a percentage of height. These flaps therefore grow differently after a size change. Deliberately adjust the closure flap and check overlap and the insertion path; merely scaling the old dieline does not represent the parameter model.

Can I widen the side flaps without limits?

No. Besides their own parameter range, they depend on envelope width and height. Overly large side flaps no longer fit under the bottom flap or leave the intended glue area clear. Check both dimensional dependencies and coordinate the final width with the envelope manufacturer.
