While it's always good to purchase in bulk sometimes the available bulk size isn't enough. This was a pack of 12 when I needed more -- 25 would nave been nice. Wonder if Staples online carries a larger pack (they do with shipping tape) so next time I'll probably go there.
I tried these for the first time just a few weeks ago. I was pleasantly surprised! They are very strong and the surface of the paper holds the adhesive very well from sticky labels! I will buy them again!
The bags are a good value and all worked flawlessly each sealed with a paperback book inside. The seals were especially secure because the tape material really sticks and there was no way the mailer would open. I probably did not need a cushioned mailer for this purpose but they did the job even better than I expected
I am in the process of self-publishing a children's novel I wrote. As part of that process I've been mailing out drafts of my book to friends. I picked up a package of these envelopes for that purpose. They have worked very well as far as I can tell. No one has complained that the book arrived with any damage to either the book or the envelope. While I think the price for these envelopes was high I believe I got my money's worth. I will probably buy them again. A coupon towards my next purchase of them would be nice but not necessary.
