I like the envelopes that have the strips of paper to remove and then seal but since I'm sending out mass mailings this one is cheaper and it does a good job.
These envelopes (atleast this box) are all sealed shut. I was lucky enough to get a few to come apart. The rest of the box are stuck together. I am taking the box back to staples in alliance ohio. I am hoping to get a refund/exchange. I will try them one more time. If they stick again I will not recommend or purchase again .
The envelopes are more economical to use because 1. they are less expensive to use over the stick down type that you pull the tab off. I prefer the pull on the tab type because it is easier and is faster. The pull the tab type are thicker in the envelope area but are too expensive as I am head of a non profit organization and need to save money whenever I am able. Yes & no I would recommend them to a friend.
These envelopes would have been fine except a big group of them had a small spot where the glue had gotten inside and the envelope stuck together. This made it difficult when I used them on an automatic folding and stuffing machine.
