What are Professional Envelopes?

Envelopes that are used in offices for professional purposes are called professional envelopes. Envelopes can be professional and non-professional. Non-professional envelopes are the ones that are used regularly to keep general documents by ordinary men. However, professional papers, i.e. belonging to the office, are held in professional envelopes. 

Professional envelopes are part of business stationery and use pre-printed letterhead designs for identical professional recognition. Business envelopes are used to send mail for official purposes. 

For instance, banks send you your statement and credit card details in an envelope, i.e. pre-printed with the bank’s name and other essential information. However, professional envelopes differ in their designs, but most use the same format for all envelopes.

Difference between Business Envelopes and Business Letterheads:

The significant difference between a letterhead and an envelope is that a letterhead is a pre-printed correspondence of a company used for business communication. The message has been printed on the letterhead; however, the stationery that carries the mail is the envelope. Envelopes carry the correspondence from the sender to the receiver through a respective medium.
