Important: Changes to your Envelopes

For over 50 years we have designed, manufactured and delivered millions of collection envelopes, to thousands of parishes all over the UK and Ireland.

Earlier in 2020 we embarked on our latest development of our printing capabilities, in the form of a new state of the art printing machine. This machine is capable of delivering the next generation of your envelopes for years to come. Through continuous investment in our machinery, we can now supply a brand new range of attractive, full colour envelopes to parishes at the highest quality, all at no extra cost to you!

New Process and Benefits:

We will now be supplying FULL COLOUR printed designs at NO EXTRA COST on all Weekly Boxed Sets, Monthly Boxed Sets, Special Collection Envelopes, and Gift Aid Envelopes. However, Manilla Economy Boxed Sets will still only be offered in a single ink colour.

We will also be expanding our range of stock designs, with 14 Full Colour Designs (C#) to choose from. You will also have the option to print your own image in full colour if you choose to do so.

The new (C) designs have been created by our studio designers to help retain the tradition of our familiar designs, whilst giving a more modern and dynamic presentation. However, we will continue to offer (D) single colour designs if you feel that these are more suitable for your parish.

Previously these envelopes would have been a different colour within the set, but they will now be presented with an eye-catching ‘S’ Symbol (as below) and will be printed on the same colour envelope as the rest of the set. Unless you choose Manilla Economy Envelopes, in which case the ‘S’ Symbol will be a single colour;

Some examples of our new Special Envelopes are shown below:.

We will also be expanding the standard design images for your envelopes and these will all be in full colour, a huge upgrade to the single colour only options that we have offered in the past. These designs will be much more detailed and have been created by our studio designers to retain the tradition of our existing ones, whilst giving a more modern and dynamic presentation. However, we will still offer the existing images we have provided in the past – just in case there is a traditional image you believe to be more suitable for your parish. You will also have the option to print your OWN IMAGES in FULL COLOUR on your envelopes at NO EXTRA COST.

Our new process of envelope printing comes at no additional cost and you will now be able to choose from vibrant and colourful imagery on your offertory envelopes. For our customers, these envelopes will represent even better value for money and we believe that this investment will also allow us to benefit from greater energy efficiency and improved quality.
