Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Place your documents or items flat within the envelope, ensuring the edges do not overlap with the seal area.
Sealing: Peel the protective strip from the adhesive, fold the flap over firmly, and press across the entire width to activate the Powerseal.
Labeling: Use standard adhesive shipping labels. Due to the textured outer surface, ensure labels are pressed firmly.
Storage: Keep in a cool, dry environment to maintain the integrity of the adhesive strip and prevent moisture absorption in the recycled paper fibers.
