Multi-use envelopes

These are good quality envelopes for a variety of uses. We use them for mailing items that don't need a padded envelope. We use it for putting information about neuropathy pages to send to people who call for information. We found that materials are much more usable if we put them in the large envelope flat than folding them into a legal sized envelope. We find that filling the envelope is easily done and the clasp is easy to use. We always make sure that we put a piece of plastic tape over the clasp however as it protects the hands of post office staff but also because the cost is less if the clasp is covered in some instances.
We use the colored copy paper to make our own flyers for customers or employees. The pastel colors allow us to use pictures when needed without them turning to dark. We can still use color on our flyers with this paper if needed . Great product with works well in all of our printers or copiers.
Goldenrod is becoming a paper color that's harder and harder to find. I was delighted to not only find the color but also the great quality of the paper. This paper moos through my high-speed copier without any problems and very little lint.
It's paper it's blue. Should meet your blue paper needs. Bluebacks blue fronts blue middles? This should probably work! Doesn't work if you want to be all fancy-pants and attach your blue backs to the front wrap them over the top and completely cover your document's back; but if you want to be all fancy-pants like that you're probably fancy-pants enough to have custom-sized papers with custom printing and whatever other stuff. tl;dr: it's letter-sized blue paper and works.
My husband prefers this paper for printing out specific papers that he wants to be able to find quickly. I chose the color and call it blue (with a slight tint of green) but he calls it green ---wrong!!! Either way it is a beautiful color a little different from the norm. I see that Staples calls it turquoise but it has very little green in it. I guess it IS turquoise definitely not aqua. We also like the weight because we can print on both sides and it is not a distraction when reading. It files easy as it is not flimsy and but still folds nicely when needed.
