German term or phrase: gestaltet
"Anschreiben: A4, gestaltet."

This is from a mailing letter, or rather from the DTP information which precedes the text of a mailing letter. Perhaps I'm a little slow on the uptake today, but I can't make out the signifance of "A4, gestaltet". Or is it just a misplaced comma?

Any input very much appreciated.

Thanks

A4 seems to be the paper size.

DINA4, DINA5, etc are the German standards for paper size.

Explanation:
Maybe I'm sharing the mental slowness, but I can't think of anything else than designed. Like, do not have the secretary send this out before the graphics artist approved the design? Unless it's double typo for gefaltet, but I wouldn't bet on that.

Speaking of being slow - it might also mean this letter has been designed alreday, no need to do (=charge for) this again.
