Personalise your envelopes with your own designs

Personalize your envelopes by importing your design. For high-quality printing, we recommend using HD images (300dpi) for your files. Envelopes can be personalized on both sides. Invisible elements will not be printed. All our envelopes are printed in France in our Parisian workshop on FSC® certified creative papers.

What type of image can be used?r

To ensure optimal print quality on our Art du Papier website, here are the essential recommendations for images to use in our customization module.

1. Accepted image formats

JPEG
PNG
PDF

Tip: choose PNG format if your visual has a transparent background.

2. Recommended resolution

300 dpi minimum
Recommended minimum size: 1500 px on the shortest side
The larger the image, the better the rendering
Maximum image weight: 5 MB

Avoid screenshots, blurry, or over-compressed images.

3. Colors & print rendering

Our prints are made in four-color process (CMYK).

RGB images are still compatible, but slight color differences may appear.
Prefer contrasting colors and bright images.

4. Respect for copyright

Only use:

Your own photos.
Images for which you hold the rights.
Royalty-free visuals or those under appropriate licenses.

We cannot print images from:

The Internet without authorization
Protected works, logos, or illustrations

5. Ideal image types according to your projects

Invitations / Cards: bright photos, sharp background, no strong filters
Visual identities / Logos: PNG or PDF files with transparent background, vector if possible

6. What to avoid

Images recovered from social networks (low quality)
Dark or noisy photos
Pixelated logos
Images containing unwanted blurry areas

Do you check our designs before printing?r

Every design is carefully checked by our graphic team.
When you personalize your invitation, our creative team systematically checks your design before printing, and also performs a check during the printing process to ensure optimal rendering.

If you wish, you can receive a digital proof (BAT) before production begins. Simply make the request.

We recommend ordering a sample print delivered on an A4 sheet if you have any doubts about your layout.

For any specific layout, correction, or in-depth verification request, you can use the text box titled "Leave a message or instructions for our graphic designer" on the personalization page. Our team will take into account each of your instructions before final validation.

Create your Print File

1. Essential Vocabulary

Final format: Exact size of the document once cut
Bleed: Area that extends beyond the final format (4 mm on each side) to avoid white edges; this part will be cut after printing. It is represented on our configurator by the red area.
Safety zone: Inner margin (approximately 5 mm) where no text or important element should be placed
Front / Back: Front = first side / Back = second side of the printed document
