Grid lines or graphics may be printed on an interior or exterior surface of the envelope and visible through a translucent portion thereof. The envelope may be partly or completely formed of a stiffened or reinforced material such as cardboard. The envelope may be partly or completely formed of a print-retaining material. The envelope may be partly or completely formed of an ink-retaining or graphite-retaining material.
