As one would expect from advertising on a STAPLES item these easy close envelopes were just that: easy to close. I well remember the "good old days" when one licked every envelope before closing it. This left a lasting taste memory in my brain a memory I can still not only recall but also taste. bluhh Not pleasant. Of course one could also have used the old damp sponge in a dish method to moisten the glued flap of the envelope. That was better but still messy. Perhaps I should have said these are memories of the "bad old days" ! Stuffing envelopes and mailing post in the 21st. century is much easier on both the fingers and the tongue.
I enjoy these envelopes because of the self stick closure. I do not have to lick the envelope. I also think they was a good price for the money. I would recommend this product to a friend and I will purchase this product the next time I and in need for some envelopes. I would also purchaes the security envelopes wit the self sealing feature. If you would sell them in different size quanities. Some times you don't ned quite that many I did need these many. On rare occassion I don't need as many or sometime I don't have as much money to nuy the 500 at a time.
