FAQs
What size are the envelopes?
The envelopes are C6 size. They are designed to take A5 letters folded in half to A6.
C6 envelopes are designed to contain A6 items. C6 is 162mm wide and 114mm high. An A5 folded in half to A6 is 148mm wide and 105mm high and so fits easily.
Where do I get matching paper?
Matching paper is part of the bulk buy. You need one ream of 500 A4 sheets to create a thousand A5 letters to go into one box of envelopes.
How do I duplicate the letters?
Many local parties have ‘RISO’ duplicator machines with a blue drum which do a brilliant job. If your local party doesn’t have access you can use Election Workshop’s service. Find out more at artworker.aldc.org/blueink.
How long should the letter be?
No more than 2 sides! The message in this final letter of your campaign should be snappy and to the point. Fitting it into two sides of A5 is a good way to make sure your message gets through.
