When should I use two window envelopes?

Two window envelopes are perfect when using letters, correspondence, or sheets that will be folded and include both the sender and the recipient's addresses through the windows. This saves a lot of time when mailing a lot of envelopes for your business. It is best when used with laser forms, as these can include the recipient address printed straight from your software, such as Word when used with a mail merge.
