Select the envelope dimension from the 'Measurement' selector and the unit from the 'Unit' selector - the dimensions can be shown within the dimensions field. This envelope originated in Germany in the 1920's and was generally known as DIN Lang, but DL is now more generally expanded to 'Dimension Lengthwise'. This measurement is defined in the ISO standards for envelope sizes, as the standard would have been remiss in omitting essentially the most generally used enterprise envelope size. The envelope sizes may fluctuate from tiny to large, and there are dozens of them of sizes out there.<img src='http://ospdirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Envelopes-715x120.png' image_too_big='253' />

They're cost-environment friendly, since the identify and deal with shows via the window, eliminating the necessity to handle the envelope. Theoretically, practically each envelope kind and dimension might have a window, this typically is determined by the manufacturer. The most common (and recommended by USPS) window size is 1 ⅛ x four ½, and the place ⅞ in from left and ½ (typically ⅝) in from backside, but there are lots of variations.

<br/>The following diagrams show C4, C5 and C6 envelopes in comparison with A4 paper size (the envelope being proven in brown with the paper shown as grey) as could be seen in the <a href="http://www.standardenvelopesize.com/">standard envelope size</a> first diagram the C4 envelope can contain an A4 sheet, the C5 envelope can comprise an A4 sheet folded in half (an A5 sheet) and the C6 envelope can comprise an A4 sheet folded in half twice (an A6 sheet).<img src='http://www.papersource.com/img/envelopes/_redesign/2014-december-tile-envelopes.1418152905.jpg' image_too_big='252' />

<br/>For C4 envelopes, the highest fringe of the window needs to be either 27 mm or 45 mm from the highest edge of the envelope. UK: The window on a DL envelope should be ninety three x 39 mm large, and positioned 20 mm from the left and 53 mm from the highest of the envelope. The correct formatting and tackle position on an envelope is required to facilitate mail processing by optical character recognition equipment, used by many postal providers for sorting mail.
