The envelope quality is fine however the 2 boxes we received may have been exposed to humidity bc the corners are sealed. We don't know who our rep is nor do we have time to go and return them at the store so we are trying our best to unseal but it's really horrible bc we send these out to clients. We placed another order so hopefully these will be ok but in the meantime am stuck with the crappy ones - not happy
I prefer these envelopes to the ones with the pull-off strips that don't need to be moistened. I find that those don't seal to the ends of the flap and I often have to add tape at the ends. These are good and much less expensive.
To begin I have used these envelopes for about four years now both the security and non security ones. These envelopes are sturdy and look great plus they were reasonably priced. This last shipment was somewhat different that those in the years past they do not lay flat in my printer. I have 3 Epson WF 3640's printers ranging from probably 8 or 9 years old to fresh out of the box last week so I can't speak for performance in all printer makes just these Epsons. Like I said they do not lay flat and thus my printers have a problem feeding them. I believe the problem is with the manufacturer and not in the design. I believe there is stress on the envelope due to improper folding alignment which is cocking (warping?) one edge higher than the others. I solve the problem by stacking a couple day's use of envelopes on a sturdy flat table and putting a heavy weight on them. They press flat within 24 hours and are good to go without any problems.
