Frequently asked questions

What size card fits inside a 165 × 165mm envelope?

A 165 × 165mm envelope is best suited to square cards or inserts up to around 155 × 155mm. This gives the card a little room to slide in and out without feeling too tight.

Are 165 × 165mm envelopes the same as 6.5 inch square envelopes?

Yes, they are often described as 6.5 × 6.5 inch style envelopes because 165mm is very close to 6.5 inches. They are a popular square size for cards, invitations and craft stationery.

Will a 6 inch square card fit inside a 165 × 165mm envelope?

Yes, a 6 inch square card is usually around 152 × 152mm, so it should fit comfortably inside a 165 × 165mm envelope with a small amount of space around the edges.

Will these envelopes fit a 155 × 155mm insert?

Yes, a 155 × 155mm insert is a suitable fit for a 165 × 165mm envelope. It leaves approximately 10mm total extra space across the width and height, which helps the insert sit neatly without being squeezed.

Do square envelopes need extra postage?

In the UK, postage depends on the finished size, thickness and weight once filled. A 165 × 165mm envelope is within the Royal Mail Large Letter size limits, but thicker cards, wax seals, embellishments or multiple inserts may affect the postage cost.
