Mailing small items in these clasp envelopes is a snap. They are much less expensive than padded envelopes. TIP: Save old padded envelopes and bubble wrap by reusing it to pad items sent in these clasp envelopes. It works fine. I have sent numerous small items through the mail without any problem.
Theses envelopes have gone up in price from [$] to over $12 occasionally the bottoms come unglued and the tops will slice your finger like a Ginsu knife.
bought these to send out mailings to clients at #10 envelope rates...If for example you have 8 pages to send out instead of folding it in 3 and squashing it into a #10 envelope use these and just fold it in 1/2....better postage rates than 9x12 envelopes.
