Absolutely love this self-sealing envelopes. if you are as busy as I am having this product around help with the every day mailing of products or paperwork. No problem no fuss!
It doesn't matter if you're using your office's internal mail system or Ben Franklin's postal system if you're going to transport a letter or documents you're going to need an envelope. Sometimes you need the large ones sometimes small ones like these but whatever size you need these envelopes fulfill all sorts of purposes. One good use we like to use them for is mailing out marketing material to customers. Since they're larger than your standard letter or legal size envelope you can get a lot more information in them. They seal closed and stay that way until someone rips them open and they're economical to use.
About 25% of the envelopes were badly stained - seems to have been some manufacturing defect. I do not need the aggravation of having to go through the envelopes to return them.
The self-adhesive makes it easy and efficient to seal these envelopes without having to wet it or peel off a sticker. I usually don't worry about it opening unless it's packed full. If that's the case I secure it with a piece of tape. I've also discovered that standard #9 envelopes are too long to fit into this size.
These self-sealing envelopes are well worth the difference in price just for the convenience of the self-sealing feature. The seal is secure enough that you don't have to worry about the envelope coming open in the mail. We prefer that the registration cards used in our office are not folded so these envelopes are perfect for mailing those out and enclosing a letter as well. We have tried the regular catalog envelopes but we will never order those again. These are much better!
