Between you and me, return address labels are the way to go!
Here’s what you already know about return address labels: They’re primarily used to speed up the process of getting your mail sent out. Spending hours writing your name and address on hundreds of thank you envelopes is not-so-surprisingly time consuming. Return address labels cut that time down by about 90%, in my estimation. You also know that they lower the risk of your mail getting lost either on its way to its destination or being returned to you. What you may not know, is that return address labels give you the chance to add a unique stylish and professional look to your correspondences, while simultaneously saving you loads of time.
Can you imagine hand drawing an emblem or unique design around your return information on all your envelopes? It may sound fun to some, but if you’re sending more than five letters, you may want a more efficient way to get your creative designs out there. When using return address labels, you can add a business logo, family crest, or any type of personal icon. With these additions, you can make a bold and/or fun statement about yourself and the content of your letter. If it’s a fancy wedding invitation, adding a floral design or elegant border to the labels will immediately establish a formal tone to your recipient before they even open the letter. Throwing a grad party? Livening up your address labels with images of caps and gowns (or beer… just brainstorming) can instantly set the fun tone you desire. Designs can be tailored to every special occasion, be it a grad party, wedding, birthday, super bowl party, bridal shower, etc. Or, you can use a single design to accompany every letter you send, one that best embodies your personality. Return address labels give you a chance to surprise your mail recipients with some unique pizzazz that captures your personality and the mood of the event!
You can also coordinate your return address labels with your greeting cards, envelopes, gift tags, and the rest of your stationery so that your event or well wishes are organized into a sleek matching set. This works best for large events, of course. I’ll admit that I’m a fan of using handwriting when sending letters to one or two friends, or the old-fashioned “pen pal”.
The most crucial benefit that return address labels have to offer is their neatness. Your recipients will actually be able to read your name and address. No more deciphering chicken scratch!
