Heavy duty protection for flat items
These cardboard mailing envelopes are designed for flat items that must not bend or crease, such as books, catalogues, calendars, CDs and DVDs. The 350 gsm micro-flute corrugated board resists tearing and perforation, and reinforced corners add resistance to knocks and shocks in transit. The envelope carton adjusts in height up to 40mm, so it can handle slightly thicker flat items without moving to a box. A peel-off adhesive strip seals the flap without tape, and a pull-tab opens the self adhesive envelopes cleanly at the other end. Available in a range of sizes from 330 x 230mm up to 670 x 520mm (opening width x internal height), covering large letter, small parcel, medium parcel and large parcel mail formats.
Where do self adhesive cardboard envelopes work best?
These cardboard mailing envelopes suit despatch teams sending flat items that must not bend, with an expandable carton depth for slightly thicker contents.
- Posting books, magazines and catalogues, where the 350 gsm micro-flute corrugated board resists tearing and perforation.
- Sending brochures, calendars and printed presentations as an envelope carton that keeps contents flat in transit.
- Despatching CDs and DVDs, where reinforced corners add resistance to knocks and shocks in handling.
- Mixed-height flat mailings, where the adjustable depth up to 40mm takes thicker items without switching to a box.
Not for
- Fragile, loose or bulky items that need cushioning on all sides. Use cardboard boxes for all-round protection.
- Soft goods that don't need rigid board. Use a mailing bag where flexibility and low weight matter more than bend resistance.
- Wet or outdoor storage. The Kraft paper and corrugated board aren't waterproof, so add outer protection where parcels face moisture.
