Why Use a Mailing Envelope?

Even with today's age of wireless technologies and internet, there are still some things that need to use the traditional postal service.

Greeting cards, magazines, books, and keepsake albums are still at their best when they are in original form, and no amount of emails or faxes can substitute for an authentic property deed or a living will.

Most types of mailing envelopes have common features. Every envelope is meant to protect its contents and maintain confidentiality. Envelopes have flaps which have adhesives in order to seal the contents until the packages reach their recipients.

Commercial Mailing Envelopes

Most commercial mailing envelopes come in standard sizes. There are 6 1/4 size envelopes for regular letters and photos, and large size 14 envelopes for brochures or documents. They are compact and slim enough to contain letters, checks, statements, invoices, receipts or bills. Common colors are white, yellow, and brown.

Commercial mailing envelopes may also be in specialized sizes, colors and designs. Some are also resealable, which recipients can use for return mail.
Some are double window envelopes, which enable you to fold the letter in a way as to show both the sender's and the recipient's addresses through the windows.

Some companies or organizations prefer to use mailing envelopes that already have their addresses pre-printed on the upper left-hand corner of the front side. This also saves preparation and sealing time, as you will only need to type, print or stick the address onto the center.

Commercial mailing envelopes can also be customized to look very eye-catching, especially if you are enclosing catalogs or selling materials.

Social Mailing Envelopes

These are the types of mailing envelopes used for wedding announcements, invitations, or for enclosing photos and documents.

Greeting card envelopes are especially designed and conformed to the exact dimensions of the greeting cards they contain. Some greeting card envelopes match the design and color of the cards.

Especially designed and customized stationery sometimes have their own matching envelopes as well. And some social mailing envelopes are scented to make them even more appealing.

Where to Order Mailing Envelopes

Whether you need commercial or social mailing envelopes, there are hundreds of reliable sources to get them from. Many local stationery shops already offer you many choices. You can also go to office supply stores especially if you only need standard types.

For more specialized needs or occasions, you may want to order customized mailing envelopes from printers. Mailing envelopes can also be acquired through online sources. These online sites exhibit samples of the envelopes, which show their appearance, measurements, features and prices.
