Being Sticky Is Tricky
on March 28, 2016
Posted by: Paula K.
I love having a product like this self sticking quick seal. But there were some issues. When you first take off the adhesive back the glue get's stuck in some places which gives me concerns of the envelope ripping and I know it sounds weird but when it sticks in some places it stops the fluidity of removing the the adhesive protector which honestly especially if you are sealing a lot of envelopes at once is unpleasant. It appears as if the envelope can be opened again after sealing which there are definitely pros and cons to that. I know that I have sealed an envelope and then realized that everything that needed to be in it wasn't. The con to that is that someone could possibly tamper with the envelope and the recipient would never know (it reseals without much distortion). I loved the idea of having a privacy envelope. Unfortunately you can still see through the envelope when it is close to a light which is a real bummer (I placed a paper with the word students on it and you can still make out the words). Its a good envelope over all but the issues with the glue and privacy is why I give its 3.

5 star envelopes

I received the tear resistant privacy tint envelopes from Staples for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion. These days most payments are submitted electronically but there are times when I need to send a check. I'm used to wrapping the check in paper before I put it in the envelope as I don't want others to see it. This was my first test - it passed! You can't see the check in there so no one would have any clue what is in the envelope. Second you don't have to lick the envelope as it is self-adhesive. Third I put water on the envelope to see if it would tear. It didn't right after so I left the water on for awhile (as if it had been sitting in the rain) - and it still didn't tear! This envelope passed the test for the three important factors I like in an envelope. I definitely would recommend this product!

The Staples Tear-Resistant envelopes are incredible! I opened my first box and immediately wanted to test and see if I could tear them. I couldn't my wife couldn't and both of my brothers couldn't. They are durable and also have privacy sealing. I was quite impressed with them. I couldn't imagine ever having such a high review for an envelope but after using these it will be hard to go back to original envelopes ever again.

Headline: Dr. Destructo Defeated by Staples Tear-Resistant #10 Envelopes
on March 24, 2016
Posted by: Paula K.
These envelopes survived my son so they can survive anything! We jokingly (and lovingly) call my 5-year-old son Dr. Destructo because he has an innate ability to take apart and destroy pretty much anything. Ahh but enter the Staples Tear-Resistant #10 Envelopes. Dr. Destructo has been defeated! Since these envelopes claim to resist moisture and tears and to be “security” envelopes when they arrived I gave a stack to my son and told him to try and rip them. No dice! He pulled and twisted and grimaced and he could NOT rip these envelopes. I tried to rip them and couldn’t. My husband tried to rip them and couldn’t. Envelope claim No 1 – tear resistant: Yes these envelopes deliver on that claim! Next I put Dr. Destructo to the task of sealing the envelopes and seeing how sticky the self-adhesive was. I’m often disappointed in self-stick envelopes because I feel like the adhesive is weak and I end up having to tape the envelopes shut. Not these puppies! The self-adhesive works great and the envelopes stay shut. No tape needed! Finally Dr. Destructo and I wrote on some paper and sealed it in the envelope. The security feature did a nice job of concealing the writing on the envelope. We also ran the envelope under water (yes we were determined to try and prove that these envelopes weren’t as good as claimed!). The paper on the inside of the envelope did not get wet. Envelope Claim No. 2 – moisture resistant. Check! I am 100% impressed with the Staples Tear-Resistant #10 Envelopes and certainly will keep them in stock in my house. They live up to the claims on the box and they certainly outperform any of the flimsy envelopes I currently have in my house. Well done Staples!

Ultimate Time saver!
on March 22, 2016

Overall I am very pleased with this product. These standard sized envelopes are perfect for mailing out letters. I always appreciate a product that allows me to save a bit of time and this is definitely the case! I no longer have to take time to lick the envelope (can we talk about a gross taste) or grab tape and glue. This self adhesive envelope from staples is a dream!

Great purchase
on March 21, 2016

What I love the most about these envelopes is just about everything! First off I tried and tried to rip it and was unsuccessful. Why would this matter? Well I can be assured that the information I send is protected. No one can just easily tear into this thing. I also sometimes get worried that my mailings are see through...this is not the case here. The privacy tint assures that anything inside is free from eyes! Lastly I absolutely dread licking an envelope. Again this is not an issue due to the adhesive backing. Just know that you will be very pleased with this purchase!

Staples Tear Resistant Envelopes
on March 20, 2016
Posted by: Paula K.
When sending mail you want to know that your important documents are going to arrive intact. Of course this is always risky business when sending something in a paper envelope. Well what if I told you that all of your wildest envelope dreams could come true?! Staples Tear Resistant Envelopes can do just that. They keep your documents safe in transit while ensuring they get no accidental rips or tears along the way. These envelopes hold up well in my sturdiness test...a hyperactive two year old! My toddler LOVES to draw and in the process can be extremely heavy handed. Let's just say I'm constantly finding torn apart well everything. She was able to scribble all over these envelopes and they came out the other side intact! WOW! Great job staples now only if you could toddler proof my lipstick! :)

Durable Envelope Worth Purchasing
on March 20, 2016
Posted by: Paula K.
Upon opening the box I took an envelope out and immediately tested it tear-resistant ability. There was no way I could easily tear the envelope open regardless of which direction I tried. Typically I do not spend the extra money purchasing tear-resistant envelopes for my general use but after testing this product I feel it would be worth the added cost to have the additional protection since the postal system is predominately automated. For me privacy tint and easy close are two important features for me when selecting envelopes and this product provides both. The easy close strip removes without a struggle and the adhesion strip seals securely shut. The addition weight (25 lb. versus the standard 20 lb.) is not really noticeable when comparing the two side by side from the product I already owned so it should't add much if any postage cost to what you would have been spending using a 20 lb. envelope.
