US window envelopes, window position on US letter paper

Hi everyone

I've got a quick request.
I'm in the UK and putting the final touches on our invoicing system. However I'd like our US remote workers to be able to download the PDF invoices in US letter format. Not a problem, since I'm using TCPDF which has paper sizes built-in.

But I wonder if any of you US-based folks could possibly do me a favour / favor! ;) and measure the size of the window on standard window envelopes?
Whatever the standard size is for you guys when posting letters, the type of envelope where you fold up a US-letter sheet into 3 horizontally.
Is that a #10 envelope?

Also could someone measure the position of the window on a folded US letter bit of paper?
Just want to get it so the addresses are positioned properly on US letter paper

Cheers, B

I don't know of any standard for window envelopes. Go to any store and there is quite a variety, and when I get my bills (too many of 'em) there doesn't seem to be any consistency in either the envelopes I get or the return envelopes included.

Damn, that's annoying :(
Ok I'll have to hold that until the guys in the US decide on what envelope size they want me to go for
Cheers, B

In case I didn't mention it, I'm not any kind of authority on envelope standards :)
