THE LITHO CONVERTING PROCESS —
STEP BY STEP

Step 1: Request envelope layout from your local Paper Distributor. They will contact the closest National Envelope location and send the printer an envelope layout including instructions.

Step 2: Read the instructions carefully and strip film according to layout. Before printing, furnish one complete full sheet blueline, along with the original layout furnished to printer. Send both to National Envelope for approval.

Step 3: After blueline approval, print and send (pre-paid) lithoed paper to nearest National Envelope converting plant. Sheets must be securely packed and jogged to guide and gripper marks. Include packing list showing exact quantity of sheets and name of National Envelope’s Customer to whom the bill for envelopes should be sent.
Step 4: National Envelope will locate printed gripper guide and jog lifts of approximately 200 sheets and die cut.
Step 5: Die cut blanks will then be fed into the folding machine for gumming and folding to a complete envelope. National Envelope will fold all blanks cut and invoice maximum yield possible.

Step 6: National Envelope will ship envelopes to customer as per order instructions from the paper distributor.
