I purchased these envelopes because I am concerned about safety and by having the security-tint I feel more assured that I am getting that feature. I also like to buy in bulk to enjoy a better price and save money in the long run. The fact that they have the adhesive strip which peals away is great since licking an envelope is old school and not even healthy. All in all I use these envelopes with my tax practice and my clients really appreciate the fact that I provide this quality of envelope for their security as well.
These envelopes are a great value for the quality. The paper is heavy and the security feature prevents show-through. The adhesive makes it easy to seal.
Good value for the money. Many times the cheaper the envelope the lighter weight the paper is. These envelopes have a good substance without being to weighty and added postage. They seem to be very durable. I do however have a problem with the self seal staying closed. I often have to add tape to keep it closed. I would rather add tape than lick the envelopes - easy enough.
I really like these envelopes very much. I hate licking the glue on envelopes especially when I am doing a bulk mailing. Whoever invented these deserves a fist full of gold stars!
We bought the box of 500 and ALL of the envelopes were stuck together at the same place on the inside! Just pulling them apart tore a strip off the inside of each envelope front and back which then had to be patched with Scotch tape. Also these had very little glue on the flaps so little that on some of them I had to add some glue to be comfortable putting them in the mail. I will definitely not be ordering these again.
I like these envelopes not only because they are easy close with the self-sticking strip but because they do not feel thin and cheap like many security envelopes that I have purchased in the past.
