Bowers Envelope Company was founded in 1928. The company was built with a keen desire to produce the best-quality envelopes and provide the best service available to customers in Indianapolis and the surrounding communities.

The Great Depression hit the country only a few years after founding the company. But the founder, Clyde A. Bowers, persevered by selling envelopes during the day and manufacturing them at night for delivery the next day. After making the deliveries, he would sell more envelopes to manufacture that night. Bowers Envelope Company survived the Depression through hard work and determination of its founder and employees.

Current Technology is the Key

Ever since its founding, Bowers Envelope Company has been committed to manufacturing top-quality envelopes at reasonable prices. Through the years the company has kept technologically up-to-date with equipment and procedures to maintain an efficient (and cost-effective) production facility.

Several years ago, Bowers introduced its Insertelope® web-style side seam envelope line. The envelope is cut, printed and folded all on one machine, eliminating additional, more costly steps. We offer Insertelope® as a better product than die-cut envelopes. Insertelopes stay flat (no warping), are of uniform size, have better inserting qualities, and are produced at a lower cost. We pass the benefits and savings directly to the customer.

Bowers Envelope has been experimenting with procedures to improve its on-line flexographic printing. The results have been very successful: the new process has resulted in better quality flexography without striations and little color variation, while not adding any additional cost to the manufacturing function.

Bowers Envelope can easily and efficiently warehouse and ship envelopes for customers all over the country and Canada. One phone call to Sales or Customer Service will put a customer's shipment on the truck within one day.

Custom Orders Our Specialty

Although Bowers Envelope can easily manufacture standard size envelopes, special sizes and features have become our specialty. Whether you need special papers, one or multiple windows, open ends or booklets, letterpress or litho printing, preprinted inserts or labels, latex or regular gum, Bowers prides itself on manufacturing to the customers' needs and specifications.

Bowers also offers quick turnaround (10 days or less) of custom and standard orders in quantities of 1,000 to 10 million.

Customers are Still Number One

Our concern is serving our customers' wants and needs, making sure they receive the best quality and service available. And that goal is pursued by all aspects of the company -- from Sales and Customer Service to Production to Accounting to Administration -- to make sure our customers are satisfied with the product and service they receive from Bowers Envelope Company.

Bowers' Sales and Customer Service Department is one of the best-trained and knowledgeable in the industry. Our salespeople work with the customers to provide information on current postal regulations, update them on new envelope-manufacturing equipment and procedures, and see customers' orders through to completion. Bowers' Customer Service Representatives work directly with Production to get orders produced and shipped on time and exactly the way our customers want them.

Our Production staff, from the supervisors to the stock handlers, make quality and accuracy their primary goal when manufacturing envelopes. Although Production strives for a high daily output goal, they always try to do it right the first time.

With the primary purpose in mind to satisfy the customer, the people of Bowers Envelope Company work as a team to provide customer satisfaction through products, on-time delivery, and a competitive price.
