#10 Envelope Definition

By Sandra Grauschopf, About.com

Definition:
A #10 envelope is a standard business-sized envelope which measures 4 1/8 x 9 1/2 inches. This term is used in sweepstakes rules to indicate the type of envelope that you have to use to send in your entries. Be sure to stick to the rules carefully, because using a letter-sized envelope could disqualify you from the sweepstakes and destroy your chance of winning.
