I like these because I do not have to lick the envelope and get a paper cut on my lips. Also I use these for church billing and sending checks. They provide the security I need for privacy. Since they are not pre-stamped with a return address I can use the church address stamp to put on a return address. And they come without the window so if I have a window envelope and it cannot be used for some reason I always have these handy. They are a good price for the amount that I get and they are always in stock.
The envelopes are convenient and easy to use. The problem with them is that the adhesive does not go all the way to the end of the flap. As a result in one insatnce that I am aware of the envelope was torn open by the high speed mailing equipment and the contents were lost. The recipient contacted me to let me know of the problem. Since that time I have been using scotch tape to secure the back of the envelope.
Love these envelopes. Great privacy. But the best thing of all is that you don't have to lick the envelope because of the self adhesive strip. I would recommend these envelopes for all of you mailing needs.
Purchased these for mailing tax-related documents and checks. The "privacy tint" provides zero privacy whatsoever. Hold the envelope up to the light and you can read everything right through it. If you're at all concerned about identity theft fraud or privacy do not buy these envelopes (or if you do don't mail anything private in them).
Whenever I need #10 EasyClose Security-Tint Envelopes there is only one store that I even consider going to. Of course that store is Staples. I buy all my office supplies there. In fact Staples is like a toy store to me with all the great office accessories in all the great array of colors of the rainbow. The Staples® #10 EasyClose Security-Tint Envelopes are not colorful. I need them to be white. But they have several extremely important qualities for me. In fact these are indispensable qualities. They are a good heavy weight. They have the security-tint so no one can see what is in them. And they are EasyClose which means I do not have to lick them yuck. You pull the tab and just press on the self-closing glue. You won't see me buying anything but the Staples® #10 EasyClose Security-Tint Envelopes 100/Box. They also last me a good long time in the economical 100/box.
