This item is the brown 8 ½ x 14 ½ padded envelopes made with 90 percent recycled content and are self-sealing mailers made by Jiffy. These self- sealing mailers are used all the time in our office as I use them when shipping fragile items from our company. They are cushioned and stay snug. Jiffy mailers had padded and have sturdy Kraft construction that ensures enhanced puncture and rip resistance, as well as a uniform padded lining for added stability and strength.

The self-seal selection contains a pull tab tape strip so our clients will have easy opening. We also use the plain flap design that can be sealed up with tape or staples.

Both of these type seals feature secure double-folded corners, convenient pre-scored flap for easy closure and double glued bottom – when these envelopes or mailers are closed they stay closed until they reach the person they were meant for. No matter what type of mail out we have, these envelops are durable, simple and the problem is solved. These brown mailers are the only ones we have in our supply room.

We always keep a box of these mailers in our supply room just in case we need them. This serves our purposes until we have a large mail job to do and then we order the amount we need for the job. I won’t even consider using any other padded envelopes. We use several boxes of these envelopes in a month and they come in 100 items per box.

We sell jewelry and usually do one large mailing at the beginning of the month, but often have to ship pieces that we have repaired on a case by case basis during the rest of the month. These are sturdy and durable envelopes that suit our purposes and in our office we would not think of using any other brand than the Jiffy 100 count per box.

Pros:
Sturdy and durable, 100 per box containing use both type openings, padded construction inside to resist punctures and tears.

Cons:
I have nothing bad to say about this envelope, it did its job.

Final Notes:
These really are the best padded envelopes made.

Review Title: Multi Purpose Notecards

Title: A7 Folded Card (5 1/8 x 7 Folded Size) — Candy Pink

Review Body: I bought some of these pink notecards with my last name printed on the front and use them for my personal stationary for thank you notes, invitations, and other letters, as I feel computers have gotten us away from writing. I also ordered some notecards in brown, done in the same way for my husband to use as his personal stationary. Now, I also think I am going to design another set of notecards for the family with the family name in the front middle and our initials in separate corners.

This website has a varied assortment of notecards that you can order printed or non-printed. The notecards can be folded and can be almost any color that you want. Let’s say that you are sending out wedding invitations and you would like to put a notecard inside each one with directions to get to the wedding reception, then you can order these folded notecards and either have the notecards printed or if you have a computer, you can probably print them yourself. If the lining of your envelopes for your wedding invitations is some shade of pink, then you can get notecards that are also pink to match. If you want to send the notecards in envelopes, you can even order them to match.

With notecards they stock two kinds, plain cards that are cardstock, flat and cut to any size, and folded cards that are a lighter cardstock and are folded and scored, but delivered flat. The names of the notecards are made to be matched to what envelope they go with. For example, an A2 notecard would go with an A2 envelope. I haven’t found this much of ease with any other of notecards I have ever ordered before.

With folded notecards they have 12 sizes available and the same with the flat. Border cards are only available to two sizes. I am also thinking of using these notecards as my company’s reply cards with the company logo printed on the top of them.

This is a unique website that not only has notecards to match your needs, but where you can order various color and size of envelopes for any invitations or notecards you are sending out. You can order them printed or not printed, colored lining or no lining. This is a place you go when you have ordered 50 wedding invitations and they arrive with no envelopes.

Pros: Notecards can be order printed or non-printed, folded or not folded and in various sizes. Envelopes can be ordered to match the many colors of notecards that they have. These can be used for personal stationary notes, for thank-you notes, reminder cards, or personal invitations. If you are in business for yourself, you will probably find a multitude of ways to use these notecards. I have found these notecards to be extremely handy in various situations and for various purposes; an absolute return of my every penny spent.

Cons: There is not even a single thing that I can relate to these notecards as a con.

Website Experience: This website is all driven by menu choices. On the home page I started with looking for envelopes, notecards, wedding section, labels, cardstock, and so much more that I was sort of overwhelmed for a while. Then there are more dropdown menu choices from there. You can make many various choices that make for different products that you create. You can make notecard stationary, wedding invitations and find any size or shape of envelopes that you need.

You can also make menu choices for printing or no printing. Despite of so much abundance of choices, I was so happy to see that the menus are laid out in a way that you can easily have what you need without getting lost. They also have great customer service to help you. They are further developing their website, but as long as you are careful, this website will navigate you to where you need to go.

Amount Paid: 50 notecards for $23.00 – more if printed

Final Notes: Ever since I bought these notecards, I just seem to be able to find a new use for them almost every single day. If you wanted to make your own wedding invitations, you could use this website and probably save a lot of money from the traditional engraved invitations. You can order the plain cards printed, matched with envelopes, and even add notecards with directions to the reception.

Review Title: A1 Envelopes (3 5/8 x 5 1/8) – Grocery Bag by Envelopes.com

Title: A1 Envelopes (3 5/8 x 5 1/8) — Grocery Bag

Review Body: The item is the A1 envelopes (3 5/8 x 5 1/8) grocery bag that I bought recently from envelopes.com for sending invitations of my store’s opening to my friends and family members. I had been looking for a good set of envelops that I can use for sending invitations to all my relatives, but was not finding the right set for this purpose. All of the envelopes that I had seen in the stores and at different websites did not match my expectations. It was only when I came upon the envelopes website that I saw the right type of envelope for me.

Having decided that I was going to buy this set of envelopes, I did not waste any time in buying this set and placed an order for it immediately. Before placing the order, I did customize the envelope according to my liking and selected the grocery bag color because it was perfect for the invitation that I was going to send.

The buying procedure of the envelopes was a simple one that did not take me a lot of time to complete. I was able to place the order within a matter of a couple of seconds and then started waiting eagerly for the item to be shipped to me. I was happy to see that the website promised me to deliver the envelopes in a very quick time.

The order I had placed came in within the time frame that the website had given me. I was delighted to see that the envelope set was perfect and exactly according to my expectations. I had bought non-printed versions of these envelopes and had to write the names of the people invited to the event myself as it was the cheaper thing to do. However, if I had chosen the printed version, the cost would have been a bit high, but the quality of the printing would have been great.

The best thing about this set of envelopes was that they were very flexible for me to use. I only had 20 or so invitations to send to the people and was thus left with 30 extra envelopes which I then used as grocery bags later after the opening of the store. Every customer to whom I have given this bag has found it extremely useful and my clientele has improved remarkably with the use of this grocery bag.

Being reusable, these envelopes are friendly for the environment as well which adds to their value. I was so happy to have bought them and am looking to buy more of these to send invitations of my daughter’s wedding as well. I would like to recommend the use of these envelopes to anyone who is looking for elegant and reliable bags for shopping or envelopes for sending invitations.

Pros: The A1 Envelopes (3 5/8 x 5 1/8) grocery bag is a customizable envelope that is recyclable too. It is available in several different sizes and colors, which makes it perfect to be used for sending invitations for wedding or birthday parties. Moreover, these envelopes can be printed upon with your details for the payment of additional money. The flexibility of these envelopes ensures that you can use them either as grocery bags or even invitation cards.

Cons: I was not able to find anything to complain about in this product. This item exceeded my expectations and did not give me any reason to dislike it. I have absolutely no regrets for buying this amazing item.

Website Experience: The Envelopes.com from where I bought these excellent envelopes is a fantastic website. It has a modern layout and design which makes it easier for the customers to navigate the site and find the things they are looking for a lot easily.

The security features of the website are quite remarkable which ensures the customers about the confidentiality of their private information. I was completely at ease when buying from this website because of the safety protocols that have been installed in it.

If you put a lot of work into creating a personalized invitation or writing the perfect letter or resume, it's important keep in mind that the document itself is in the first thing that people notice when they check their mail. If you are investing in high-quality envelopes, your letter or invitation may be getting confused with all the other junk mail that a person receives. Envelopes.com has a great selection of everything from colored envelopes to specially designed invitation envelopes so that what you send is sure to get noticed right away. A high-quality and low also shows that you have taken the time to make sure that you send the very best to everyone on your list.

I've seen a couple of reviews saying that snail mail was going out of style and so they weren't sure about the niche this company was in. While that's a decent point, newsletters and announcements and the like sent by mail, especially from a company, adds a nice touch. I run a small business and we always send our holiday greetings and any major announcements out by snail mail too so having an easily recognizable envelope was a huge help. If you send mail out from a company that benefits from that type of branding, I can't recommend this site enough. They have so many different colours and their prices are reasonable. 

Envelopes.com saves me a lot of money and time on my customized business envelopes! I love the website!

If you need custom invitation envelopes, then you want to check out the selection at Envelopes.com. There are 66 styles of invitation envelopes that can all be customized with your own information to make your event special. Each envelope design comes with a return envelope that you can print your address on to make it easier for people to respond. It does not matter what kind of event you are planning, these quality custom envelopes will get the word out and allow your guests to respond in style.

I know this is a unique and niche service. It is something most people don’t even think about really. I think there was someone on the modern greeting board that suggested that you bundle their custom invitations with these envelopes and I think that is a great idea. Not only do you get a really nice price on all this stuff, but you get to customize your invitations to the max. That’s all people really want, right? A decent looking invite that screams their own personality. That all sounds really good to me and it is easy to use.

I wanted to do something that really made my small business stand out. I had tried catching people's attention with offers and even flashy ads, but that didn't work. I thought maybe a customized envelope would work best. Envelopes.com allowed me to customize a standard business envelope so it really made my business stand out. One of the best things that I loved about this website was the price of the product. Considering I got over 500 customized envelopes the price was really reasonable. I plan on using Envelopes.com again when I need to order more envelopes.
