of Minted paper types, including a breakdown of the paperweights, colors, and textures. Color variations based on paper type in particular are demonstrated very clearly.

Fold-Over : A7 & A2
Most Minted cards are a single non-folding flat card, but customers have the choice to make their card a fold-over. The customer can then choose an interior rather than a backer. Fold-over cards are available for most standard designs.
Note: We currently do not offer interior printing for A2 Fold-Overs.
Ornaments: 5” x 5”
Cards that the customer can hang as a holiday decoration.
There is a hole punched in the top and the ornament is delivered with a luxe linen ribbon used for hanging.

Postcard Backers.
_
Postcards are flat cards printed on signature paper, slightly wider than a standard A2 card and are designed to be mailed without requiring an envelope. Postcards have either a text or photo backer option.
Since postcards are sent through the mail without an envelope, it’s important to be aware of and accommodate postal regulations. No offensive images or language should be included. There is a no-print zone covering the bottom right of all postcards. No text or design elements should be placed within this area. Postcard templates will include a white shape or safety guide marking the no-print area.
Envelopes.
_
Blank envelopes are complimentary with all cards except All-in-Ones, Postcards, Wedding Enclosure Cards and Wedding Day-of items.
Minted’s standard envelopes come in these sizes and these colors:
A7, A2, Petite (4.5x6.25),
Standard Square ( 5.5x5.5),
Grand Square (6.25x6.25) and
Euro FlapWhite, Speckletone Kraft, and Silver
All downloadable proof PDFs (the preview PDFs customers may download after receiving a proof) show a white background and do not reflect the envelope color chosen during the ordering process.

Colored Envelopes.
_
Minted launched eight new envelope colors with the 2019 Wedding Collection. These colors include Antique Rose, Grey Mist, Cloud Blue, Aubergine, Spruce, Black, Navy, and Charcoal. Light envelopes are available with black ink addressing, dark envelopes are available with white ink addressing.
Beautiful from front to back.
_
Matching designs are also available for return address printing on the back flap.
RAP/RCP
_
Customers may purchase Return Address Printing (RAP) and include free Recipient Addressed Printing (RCP)
in either Designed or Standard options.
Return Address Printing
Free Recipient Addressed Printing
Designed RAP/RCP.
_
Designed RAP
Return address printing is an additional cost item. When a customer chooses Designed RAP, a matching envelope is automatically generated (if a matching design is available for their card).
Designed RCP
If a customer chooses to include fRCP,
a Minted logo will be printed on the back flap in the lower right corner. This logo cannot be edited or removed even by request.
Note: Designed RAP+RCP cannot be edited
in any way.
Standard RAP/RCP.
_
Our standard addressing options feature many of the fonts commonly used in Minted’s invitation and holiday card suites.
When a customer changes the fonts and colors used in their order, the designed addressing options no longer match the customers' suite.
Choosing a standard addressing option, with a neutral font, can allow DAs to better match or complement one of the main fonts used in the customer’s card
or suite.
Note: Standard RCP does not generate with the Minted logo, and is a good alternate suggestion for customers who do not want a logo.
Skinny Wrap.
_
Long, narrow stickers wrapping from front to back on an envelope. An alternative to RAP that can also be purchased as a
standalone item.
Bellybands.
_
Belly Bands are 12.3125” X 2” bands intended to keep a suite of cards (usually a wedding suite) beautifully organized. Each
band comes with a clear sticker for a secure seal. Belly bands
are available with standard printing and non customizable
foil-pressed elements. Belly bandsare not currently available with Custom Foil Text.
