Envelope Sizes

Common North American Envelopes
Short dimension precedes long dimension; Inch measurements are the
finished envelope size; Metric measurements are approximate (calculated at 1 inch = 25.4 mm and rounded off). N.B. Except where noted, the envelope opening/flap is on the long dimension; Sizes identified as nonstandard do not conform to Universal Postal Union
requirements for correspondence envelopes.
