It pleased me to have these envelopes so I could send 9x12 photographs to my family. They are very old photos of our family which included the grand parents parents and children and will be keepsakes for each of the four families Is sent them to. OI would certainly recommend using them for futures mailings. I liked the closure with the sealing glue and the metal attachment. Made it nice for the family to keep until they frame them. If I have any future mailings I will certainly rebut the same ones!
