Envelopes
All Bayer envelopes must display the Bayer Cross, the name of the legal entity and the respective address. Whether they are positioned top left or bottom right depends on a country’s postal regulations.
Correct positioning of the Bayer Cross and legal entity information
The standard position for the Bayer Cross with the name and address of the legal entity below it is in the top left-hand corner of an envelope. That way, the top right-hand side remains free for stamps or franking. However, in some countries, such as the UK, national postal regulations require the left-hand side of an envelope to be left blank. In such cases the Bayer Cross and the name and address of the legal entity must be shifted to the bottom right-hand corner.
The Bayer Cross never varies in size and must always be printed in four colors (Euroscale) with the name of the legal entity and its address printed in Neue Helvetica dark blue. A print PDF can be downloaded for country-specific envelopes and InDesign templates for C4, C5 and DIN long envelopes as well as U.S. formats.
How to order envelopes
Legacy Monsanto employees, please refer to the green box on the right for more information.
Please place your order of stationery items in the same way as you have done up to now. The procurement process differs across the Bayer world. In Germany, for example, stationeries are produced by Territory, via this SmartBuy link (link for internal use only) and in the U.S. stationery items are produced by Ricoh USA Inc. The order process is described here (link for internal use only). In case of any questions affecting your country or region contact your responsible local procurement department.
Legacy Monsanto employees please refer to the guidelines below on printing Bayer corporate envelopes.
Following the decision taken on the future Crop Science brand architecture using Bayer as the endorser brand, all current product-branded envelopes must be replaced by corporate-branded envelopes. The Bayer Cross serves as the corporate brand for all stationery materials. The only exception to this rule remains the local seed brands (i.e. 10 U.S. regional brands, Channel, CB, Agroeste, Sementes Agroceres, and La Tijereta) and Climate Corporation, for which branding decisions will be taken once the future business strategy has been approved.
Global and U.S. colleagues can download the templates below to print envelopes locally. Or you can order from the FedEx office ordering site (shipping charges will apply).
Please first check the Excel table to find out your Country-specific Company Descriptor.
If your current envelope includes your specific legal entity, please continue to use this legal entity below the Country-specific Company Descriptor until the legal entity consolidation process has been completed. Please refer to the Excel table to look up existing Monsanto legal entities.
