Product Information
Full details
The Ampac C5 Envelope, Pack of 20, is designed for individuals and businesses requiring secure and durable mailings. Its key benefit is superior protection against weather, tampering, and physical damage. A potential caveat is that the sequential numbering, while enhancing traceability, may not be necessary for all users. This product offers weatherproof, burst-proof, tear, and puncture-resistant envelopes made from 100% polythene, featuring a tamper-evident double seal with a void message and a tear-off redemption slip for tracking. They accept stamps, handwriting, labels, and franking, and are 100% recyclable.

FAQs
What does 'tamper-evident' mean for these envelopes?
Tamper-evident means that the seal will show a visible indication (a 'void' message) if someone attempts to open the envelope. This helps confirm that the contents have not been accessed during transit.
Are these envelopes suitable for international mail?
Yes, their durable and weatherproof nature makes them suitable for international mail, provided they meet the size and weight requirements of the destination country's postal service.
Can I write directly on the envelope?
Yes, you can write directly on the envelope. However, for best results and to prevent smudging, it is recommended to use permanent markers or pens specifically designed for plastic surfaces.
What are the exact dimensions of the envelopes?
The envelopes measure 165 x 260mm, which is the standard C5 size.
How do I use the tear-off redemption slip?
The tear-off slip has a sequential number on it. You should tear it off and keep it as a record for tracking or tracing purposes before sending the envelope. The remaining part of the envelope will also bear the same sequential number.
Are these envelopes waterproof?
Yes, the envelopes are made from 100% polythene, which provides weatherproof protection, including resistance to water.
Can I use shipping labels with these envelopes?
Yes, adhesive shipping labels can be applied to these envelopes. Ensure the surface is clean and dry for proper adhesion.
Troubleshooting
Seal does not appear 'void' when tampered with.
Ensure the seal was properly activated by applying firm pressure. The void message is designed to be subtle yet visible under inspection. If the seal fails to indicate tampering after attempted opening, contact the manufacturer.
Ink smudging on the envelope surface.
Use permanent markers or specialized pens designed for plastic surfaces. Allow ink to dry completely before handling or placing in a mailing system. Test pen compatibility on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Envelope tears or punctures despite claims.
While highly resistant, extreme force or sharp objects can still damage the envelope. If you experience unusual tearing or puncturing, ensure the contents are not sharp-edged and that the envelope is not overstuffed. Contact the manufacturer if damage occurs under normal handling conditions.
