It appears that Staples decided to cut an 1/8" off these envelopes. I have used these envelopes for years without an issue. When invoices did not correctly fit in the latest box I got out the ruler. The dimension is 3 13/16" or 1/16" less than stated on the box. I went to the store to see if I had just received a defective box and found the new ones on the shelf were smaller yet 3 3/4". The box still lists the dimension as 3 7/8". The invoices do not fit correctly and a new vendor that sells the 3 7/8" envelopes has been located. Staples should check all stock to make sure that they are selling the customer the correct size. Both store and phone personnel were not interested in discussing the issue just gave me a refund Staples can save 5' of paper per box of envelopes that is substantial if you look at how many of these wrong sized envelopes Staples can sell in a year. Maybe this is their new green approach but it did not work for me.
although this is a good product when checks are inserted into the envelopes there is too much room for the check to move around. I would highly recommend #8 envelopes as an alternative to sold this problem. Staples offers a wonderful alternative to other higher priced double window security tint envelopes and makes it a great savings for our company budget. The gummed feature is easily taken care of with a wet sponge when invoices are inserted into the envelopes. Staples products are a fine product to use.
When I opened the box to use the envelopes the first 24 were glued to itself on the corner. I then grabbed some from the middle of the box...much better on that account; however they envelopes do not want to stay sealed...I even used glue to seal them.
. I ordered these on line by mistake. My local Staples store was out of stock. After 6 trips to my Staples store over 3 weeks I decided to use my rewards and order these on line. I didn't notice these are gummed envelopes. I returned them to the store and got the Reveal-N-Seal.
