We use the little coin envelopes for employee ferry fare on jobs where we have to take the ferry. They are just a perfect size for us and I write on the outside indicating the name of the person the amount inside the date and name of the job that they are to be applied to. When the individual has used the money they are to turn in a ferry receipt so they just put the receipt back into the envelope and return to me for my bookkeeping. The only complaint I have about these envelopes is that the glue on the flap isn't very effective. I wet the flap and glue it shut but always reinforce with scotch tape to make sure they don't come open.
I have used these envelopes weekly for several years. They are very handy. The glue on them used to be better so I could stick them closed with a little moisture. But now I have to staple them closed as the glue doesn't work as well as it used to. If you buy the smaller size box the envelopes are white. Those envelopes stick much better but they cost more than the 250 count box. The Brown Kraft Coin Envelopes are sturdy and do the job. The only problem is that II just can't lick them to stick them closed.
This has made giving employee their gratuities much easier. Having these little envelopes with tips stamped on them reminds clients that tips are appreciated.
