FAQs

What does 130 GSM mean?

GSM stands for 'Grams per Square Meter'. 130 GSM indicates the weight and thickness of the paper. A higher GSM generally means a heavier, more substantial paper, which contributes to a premium feel and durability.

How do I best use the peel and seal closure?

Simply peel off the protective strip that covers the adhesive. Then, fold the flap over and press down firmly along the entire length of the seal for several seconds. Ensure the surface is clean for optimal adhesion.

What kind of paper is used?

The envelopes are manufactured from environmentally friendly paper sourced from sustainable forest management practices.

Can I print directly onto these envelopes?

The metallic finish may present challenges for some printers. It's recommended to test with a small batch on your specific printer model to ensure compatibility and quality results before printing a large quantity.

What documents fit best in a C7 envelope?

A C7 envelope measures 162 x 229 mm. It's ideal for A4 paper folded once, or for smaller inserts and cards that do not exceed these dimensions.

Are these envelopes recyclable?

As they are made from paper, they are generally recyclable. However, it's always best to check local recycling guidelines, as adhesive strips or window materials can sometimes affect recyclability.

Troubleshooting

Peel & seal strip not adhering properly.

Ensure the sealing surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or debris. Press firmly along the entire length of the seal for at least 10-15 seconds to ensure a secure bond. Check that the protective strip was fully removed.

Envelope appears creased or damaged upon arrival.

While the 130 GSM paper offers good durability, it's essential to use appropriate protective measures during mailing, such as using a rigid mailer or ensuring the envelope is not overstuffed. The C7 size is generally robust when not overfilled.

Metallic finish appears dull or inconsistent.

This can sometimes occur due to storage conditions. Ensure envelopes are stored away from humidity and direct light. Minor variations can be inherent in metallic finishes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Professional and eye-catching metallic gold finish.
  • Secure and convenient peel-and-seal closure.
  • Made from sustainable paper sources.
  • Durable 130 GSM paper weight.
  • Wallet style for easy document insertion.

Cons

  • Specific C7 size may not fit all documents without folding.
  • Metallic finish may not be suitable for all professional contexts.
  • Peel-and-seal adhesive can sometimes be less robust than traditional gummed seals if not applied properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These envelopes require no setup beyond filling them with your documents and sealing them.

Compatibility:

  • Document Size: Best suited for documents measuring up to 162 x 229 mm, or A4 documents folded once vertically or horizontally. Always measure your insert to ensure a proper fit.
  • Printing: While the metallic finish is beautiful, it may affect compatibility with some high-volume or specialty printing processes. Test printing on a small batch if customization is required.

Care:

  • Store envelopes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the paper and the adhesive on the peel-and-seal strip.
  • Avoid exposing them to excessive moisture, which can degrade the paper and affect the seal.
  • To clean any smudges on the envelope's exterior, use a slightly damp, soft cloth and wipe gently. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
