Wedding Invitations & Paper

White text on Coloured Envelopes/labels??

Has anyone mailed with White text on Coloured Envelopes/labels?? I am mailing both USPS and Canada Post. I cannot seem to find any info on either website as to whether ink must be black. We have white envelopes, but purple coloured labels with white knock-out text. Will these be able to go through ok? Has only mailed with white on colour and can provide feedback?

Thanks!!

  • As long as the addresses can be read, it shouldn't be a problem. People use a variety of colored inks, colored envelopes, etc, all the time.

  • I have return address labels that are blue with white knocked out text that were sold by Vista Print. I think you should be fine. If you're really worried you could try talking to someone at the post office.

  • Invitations should be hand addressed or run directly through the printer - no labels.  Can you print directly on the envelopes in purple ink?

  • UPDATE: They worked! Two were received today (the others were going to the other side of the country so presumably take longer). So if anyone is wondering in general, yes, you can have white text on coloured labels. 
  • Thank you for posting this. I'm thinking about using black envelopes with white calligraphy for a party and was wondering the same thing.
