As with letterhead, there is a standardized format for the UBC envelopes. Consistency in design, colour and type is important to reinforce the university’s identity. Please make sure you have read and understood the UBC Stationery Guidelines before ordering envelopes.

About UBC Envelopes

The Format of UBC Envelopes

There is a predetermined standard UBC envelope format (PDF). Custom graphics are not permitted on the front of the envelope. Units wishing to create custom backs using an imprint or custom design should contact XGS.

Customizing the Back of Your Envelope

The back of the UBC envelope may be imprinted with a custom design. Custom orders are available at a premium price and will be handled outside of the web ordering system. Note: All artwork must be approved by your Unit Head prior to placing an order. If the custom back includes a unique design or your unit sub-brand, the same design should be used for the whole unit.

To discuss custom pricing, minimum quantities, production and delivery details, please contact your XGS service representative at 604.221.4244 or dms@xerox.com.

Envelope Options

No. 10 Envelope

The front of UBC No. 10 envelope uses the standard envelope format and is available with or without a window. The No. 10 envelope is available in Environment and White Wove paper stock.

Standard Envelopes

Standard envelopes are available in three sizes (6.5x9.5, 9x12, 10x13) in both White Wove and Brown Kraft paper stock. The front of the envelope uses the standard UBC envelope format.

Non Standard and Oversize Envelopes for Promotions and Direct Mail

The front of the envelope may be customized for direct mail packages and other collateral promotions. The address block remains according to the UBC standard envelope format but custom graphics may be added outside the protective clear space around the UBC Signature in order to support diverse promotional requirements. Prior to the design and printing of your custom envelope artwork, please consult with your XGS document advisor and familiarize yourself with Canada Post artwork guidelines to ensure that your design meets Canada Post mailing guidelines.
To order another size of envelope, please contact Xerox Global Services for pricing and minimum quantities at 604.221.4244 or DMS@xerox.com.
