Explore Tools
Better together is the driving force in how we develop our system of tools. There are so many ways to design, produce and showcase your offerings, so we created three distinctive categories: Physical Tools, Digital Tools and Marketing Tools. The prerequisite for new accounts is The Essentials Kit, but we have additional optional ways for you to fill your toolbox, streamline your process and help you succeed with any combination of resources that work for your specific needs. While each tool is perfectly suited to their task, we think they work even better together.

HOW IT WORKS
The Envelopments Extension for Adobe Illustrator CC acts as a bridge between concept and completion by both allowing you to design each component individually, then build and compose the entire layered ensemble, complete with inserts tucked into pockets. Product views allow you to choose how you’d like the product to be displayed; opened or closed, front or back and patterns shown on the exterior or interior of products. Quickly create a digital prototype in a sharable format.
Once your project prototype is ready for production, you can create print-ready files to produce yourself or have Envelopments do it for you using a multitude of digital or traditional press printing techniques including Foil Stamping, Letterpress, Blind Embossing, Blind Debossing, Thermography and Screen Printing
HOW IT WORKS WITH OTHER TOOLS
While the Envelopments Extension for Adobe Illustrator CC includes all the digital assets needed to prototype and produce your custom design projects, we engineered it to work in tandem with our handheld tools found in The Essentials Kit and The Elements Kit. Designing with physical swatches and samples can minimize the guess work of how colors and products are rendered from screen to screen. Together, these tools will give form and function to your design projects.
HOW IT WORKS FOR YOU
Design and print how you want. The Envelopments Extension allows you to design onto our expansive line of products with Adobe Illustrator CC. The Extension gives you the additional freedom to integrate your own custom artwork and curated font libraries. Whether it’s a quick or elaborate mockup, these features save you time and money when you need to visualize and share your concepts without leaving your desk.

Any semi-custom design template featuring Wedding, Baby, Birthday, Religious and Holiday occasions is preloaded in 3 color ways of Pocket Enclosures, Scored Stocks and Layered Cards. You can add or remove layers and coordinating accessories, then personalize the fonts, motifs and ink colors in these designs.
Want to explore your creativity? Start with a clean slate using any of the custom design templates in our Design from Scratch collection of predetermined paper product configurations, then add fonts, motifs and ink colors from our library to convey your message.
Once you have made your selections, you have easy access to your costs, including products, printing and even assembly for your project in wholesale or retail pricing with a single click.
Quickly prototype, share, proof and order in increments as low as 10 quantity, then save a template of what you built for future projects. The Online Design Tool was created to assist with Digital CMYK, White, Gold and Silver Printing. Additional printing methods are available through our Customer Service department.
HOW IT WORKS WITH OTHER TOOLS
While the Online Design Tool includes all the digital assets needed to prototype and order your design projects, we engineered it to work in tandem with our handheld tools found in The Essentials Kit and The Elements Kit. Designing with physical swatches and samples can minimize the guess work of how colors and products are rendered from screen to screen. Together, these tools will give form and function to your design projects.

The Online Design Tool immediately expands your offerings to include personalized or custom design.
