Buying Guide

Choose the right size

Pick dimensions that fit your inserts without folding — common business options include 9x12 for catalogs and 13x18 for larger materials

Decide on closure type

Peel-and-seal offers a secure, tamper-evident closure while self-seal is faster for high-volume mailing and handling

Consider material and finish

Kraft paper provides strength and a professional kraft look; white stock gives a cleaner appearance for printed addressing and labels

Match pack size to mailing volume

Larger packs lower per-envelope cost for regular mailings, while smaller packs reduce storage needs for occasional use

Check ratings and value indicators

Use customer ratings and pack counts to judge durability and cost-effectiveness when comparing brands and SKUs
