Kraft gummed catalog envelopes for bulk mailing
These Business Source envelopes measure 11-1/2 by 14-1/2 inches and come in a 250-count box. The 28 lb kraft stock is opaque brown, keeping contents private during transit. The open-end format allows quick insertion of catalogs, brochures or document sets. A moisture-activated gummed flap seals each envelope securely.
Gummed seal requires moisture and pressure
The flap uses traditional water-activated adhesive rather than peel-and-stick or press-seal closures. Users must moisten the gummed strip and press firmly for a reliable bond. This method is standard for high-volume mail rooms but slower than self-seal alternatives. Envelopes are not compatible with laser printers that require heat-resistant adhesives.
28 lb kraft weight sets durability and postage tier
The 28 lb basis weight determines both tear resistance and the postal rate class for flats. Heavier inserts will increase total weight and may require additional postage. Lighter paper stocks would reduce cost but offer less opacity and strength. Choose this weight when mailing rigid or multi-page items that need a sturdy envelope.
