A Guide To Choosing The Correct Envelope
                     Board Back Envelope 
There are many envelopes available. Here is a guide to help you choose the right envelope for your 
purpose.
Envelopes Weights
Envelopes come in a variety of weights/thicknesses. They 
are measured in grams per square inch (GSM). The same 
applies to paper: the heavier the envelope, the thicker it will 
be.
Types of Envelopes
Gummed - Traditional "Lick and Stick", envelopes that 
require you to moisten adhesive on flaps of envelopes 
before sealing and pressing.
o Self Seal
o Press Seal- Fold the flap over the envelopes, and press to 
seal
o Seal & Peal - This is similar to Press Seal, but first you 
need to remove a strip of plastic to expose the bonding 
glue. Then fold over the flap and press down to seal.
o Plain - These envelopes can be used if you want to 
create a more personal correspondence. They do not 
have windows and must still include your address. You 
can also print directly on the envelope.
o Windowed- Windowed envelopes have a small 
transparent plastic film at the front that displays the 
printed address inside.
o Manilla/White: Most envelopes are available in either 
white or manila. Manilla is the most traditional style of 
envelope available.
Board-Backed - This board is placed inside the envelope 
to protect import documents. Perfect solution for 
sending photos.
o Padded - These envelopes provide more protection than 
standard ones and are ideal for sending large or small 
items. Padded envelopes are strong and tear-resistant. 
They can be used for heavy or bulky items, as well as fragile 
items like CD/DVDs. Many of our padded envelopes can 
withstand weather.
o Recycled: If you are concerned about the impact that 
envelopes and other paper products have on the 
environment, you don't have to worry. Many envelopes 
now contain recycled content. They indicate the percentage 
of recycled content for each grade, which can be 100% 
recycled paper, 50% recycled or over 50% recycled.
It is possible to also see environmental information, 
including whether it has been sourced from FSC.
