window envelope

See-through mail sleeve

A window envelope is an envelope with a transparent panel, usually plastic or glassine, that allows an address printed on the enclosed letter to show through.

Standard in business correspondence, it eliminates the need to print the address separately on the envelope: The invoice comes in a window envelope so the billing address shows through.
