Plastic Envelopes For Protection In The Post

Plastic Envelopes

Use plastic envelopes to give extra protection to your documents

Clear Plastic Envelopes

Plastic envelopes are available in clear or opaque and in many different sizes.  The clear envelopes are more common in the C5 and C4 size.  The clear envelopes can come with or without a panel, which is used to stick labels, stamps or where the envelope can be franked.

All clear envelopes have a peel and seal strip that means they have a long shelf life and they seal securely.

Opaque Envelopes

The most common type of plastic envelopes for posting are the opaque style, which are usually grey or white in colour.  They are available in many sizes from the smallest C5 envelope up to the giant 850 x 700mm envelope.  The largest sizes are ideal for posting large bulky items such as clothing or homeware and protecting it from water damage.

There are several qualities of opaque envelopes.  There are lightweight envelopes that can save money on postage, whilst giving some protection from dirt and water.  If more protection is required there are heavyweight plastic envelopes that are burstproof, so even objects with square edges can be posted with confidence.

DX Envelopes

Polythene envelopes have been used by law practices for years to transport files and documents.  They DX envelopes can be sent from office to office with the knowledge that the contents will be protected from the elements.  They can also be transported with the added benefit of the envelopes being tamper evident.  This means if anybody should open the DX envelope it cannot be re-sealed without it being obvious.
