Envelope construction is critical. En velope fold lines can vary considerably , not only between manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer .
Double side-seams construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope r ather than diagonal seams. This style may be more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as illustr ated below .
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component: • Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200 °C (392 °F), the printer’s fusing temper ature. • Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.
