Envelope Printing & Direct Mail in North Hollywood, CA

Theaters open, shows close, and NoHo keeps mailing. The Arts District alone generates more season announcements, opening-night invitations, donor letters and press packets than most neighborhoods twice its size, and the dance studios, galleries and restaurants along Lankershim and Magnolia are right behind it. Angels Print prints envelopes for all of it: A-7 invitation envelopes with pointed flaps for gala and opening-night mailings, #10 business envelopes for the administrative side, 6x9 booklet envelopes for scripts and program proofs, and #9 return envelopes tucked inside an appeal letter. We print in house in Sun Valley, a short drive north on Lankershim, which means proofs move fast and nobody waits on an out-of-state plant to decide whether your ink color was close enough.

Invitation work lives or dies on the envelope, because it is the only part a recipient sees before deciding whether to open it. We print A-7 at 5.25x7.25 and A-6 envelopes to match standard invitation card sizes, in white, natural, black and colored stock, with full-color or single-PMS printing on the face and flap. Dark envelopes with light ink need special handling, so we proof those on the actual stock rather than on a white sheet, and we will tell you honestly when white ink on black is going to look thin. Return addresses can sit on the back flap for a formal look or in the upper left for anything running through a postage meter. Minimums start low enough that a 250-piece gallery opening is worth doing properly.

Nonprofit appeal mailing is its own craft, and small theater companies do a lot of it. The package that works is usually a personalized letter, a reply device and a #9 remittance envelope that fits inside a #10 without being folded, printed so the donor sees at a glance where to write the amount. We print those return envelopes with your logo, your address and check boxes for giving levels, and we can add a security tint when donors are enclosing card details. Because everything runs in one shop in one batch, the letter, the outer envelope and the reply envelope actually match in white point and ink color, which is never guaranteed when three pieces arrive from three different online vendors.

Production calendars do not move, so turnaround matters more here than price does. If a subscriber renewal or a run of comp tickets has to be in the mail by Friday, tell us on Monday and it will be. Standard envelope runs finish in a few business days after proof approval, and 24-hour rush is available for the ones that got away from you. We also print marketing envelopes designed to survive the mail pile, with teaser copy on the face, a bold color band, or an oversized 6x9 that will not stack flat with the bills. Free shipping on orders over $100 covers most theater and studio quantities, and free local pickup in Sun Valley is ten minutes from the NoHo station if you are cutting it close.

Bring us the artwork at whatever stage it is in. A designer-built InDesign package, a flattened PDF, or just the season poster and a note saying make the envelope match are all workable, and we will flag bleed, address-block clearance and postal size problems before anything prints rather than after. Many NoHo clients order the whole set at once, including program books, postcards, tickets, lobby posters and the envelopes that carry it all, which keeps paper and color consistent across a campaign. Call (818) 806-9006 with your show dates and quantities and we will build the schedule backward from your mail date, so a piece never has to be rushed twice for the same opening.
