Nice that it's recycled but...

Kudos for offering a recycled product however the paper quality is far lighter than the non-recycled counterpart. I like to reuse this style envelope a few times these have such light paper I doubt more than one usage. That isn't good for the environment.
It is nice to use an environmentally product. However the adhesive on the flap does not stick to the texture of the envelope paper. You must tape the flap to the main part of the envelope. Don't buy this product. Mayibe it will improve.
Really flimsy construction. Labels did not stick well and the envelope did not seal well. Felt like they would rip before they got to their destination.
I bought the recycled paper envelopes to help the environment and save a couple of dollars. The glue was applied unevenly on all the flaps. What glue was on the flap didn't stick to the recycled paper. I had to tape the flaps closed to mail them. If I hadn't already applied 500 address and postage labels I would have trashed them and bought regular envelopes. I would not buy them again and do not recommend if you plan on sealing and mailing them.
I likes the Kraft paper option on these and they were relatively inexpensive but the adhesive did not hold and it seemed to repel labels; my address labels and stamps seemed as though they might fall off before reaching their destination. I really wanted to love this.
We needed an inexpensive product for the organization of documents for 40 visa applications. It worked great to secure and identify the applications. It is great for personal filing etc. but it is too light weight for heavy use or of frequent access. Regular postage handling might be too much.
