Self seal manilla envelopes send confidential business documents, invoices and statements in light brown manilla paper that minimises print show-through. Manilla is naturally stronger than standard paper, so the envelopes resist tearing and hold up in damp conditions. Self-seal flaps close each one without moistening or tape. The range covers C4 for unfolded A4, C5 manilla self seal envelopes for A5 or A4 folded once, and DL for A4 folded in three, in 80 to 90gsm paper. Most formats are windowless for privacy; the DL reference 1A98 has a 39 x 93mm window. All are made from 100% recycled paper with a minimum 90% post-consumer waste.
Sold in packs of 250, 500 or 1000, priced per pack.
Where do self seal manilla envelopes work best?
Self seal manilla envelopes suit post rooms, offices and despatch desks sending paper documents regularly that need quick, secure closure.
- Confidential business documents such as contracts, HR records and statements, where manilla paper reduces print show-through.
- Daily invoice and letter runs, where self-seal flaps speed up packing with no moistening or separate adhesive.
- A4, A5 and folded A4 mail, where C4, C5 and DL formats match the envelope to the document.

Not for
