What are Clasp Envelopes?

Most companies use clasp envelopes as part of their regular office supplies. The most common feature is the metal clasp at the back of the envelope on the area under the flap, and a hole or eyelet where the prongs of the clasp go through. Metal prongs are quite strong yet flexible enough to bend and keep the envelope closed. The eyelet part is also reinforced to keep the flap from tearing during handling. The flaps of most clasp envelopes already have adhesive which you can wet in order to seal the envelope. Some varieties of clasp envelopes have inner bubble lining to prevent damage to the envelope's contents.

Most remittance envelopes and cardboard mailers come with clasps to keep the contents intact. The metal clasp allows easier transmittal, and in most cases, you don't really have to use adhesive to seal the envelope unless the contents are highly confidential. You can easily print or type the addresses on a clasp envelope which has no lining. If the envelope is lined, you can print the address on a label and then stick it to the front side.

Clasp envelopes can be in different sizes, colors and textures. Cream envelopes are generally more popular because they're light enough to write on and yet are able to hide contents from view.

Most clasp envelopes are sturdy enough to withstand weight and rough handling, so they can protect the contents from damage.

Wide Variety of Choices

There are countless sources for clasp envelopes. You can get clasp envelopes from stationery shops if you're not too particular about the features of the envelopes. These are usually in standard sizes ranging from the number 10 letter size to the large 10 by 13 inch ones, and are generally in plain colors.

If you need specific designs or features for particular purposes, you can look for Internet sites which can make them to your preferences. For instance, you can order clasp envelopes that are pre-printed with your company logo and return address. You can place advertising messages right on the clasp envelope. If you're environmentally conscious, you might want to order envelopes that use recycled paper.

Ordering Tips

Most sites require you to order a minimum volume of 100 envelopes. You will save more money if you can order in even larger quantities. Although most sources can process your order and deliver in a few days, always give some allowance for delays or errors in specifications.

As the sources are numerous, take some time to shop around for the best deals and choose from their catalogs, so that you will get what you exactly need.
