Open-End Kraft Envelopes for Catalog Mailings
These 5.5 x 7.5 inch open-end catalog envelopes come in a box of 500 for high-volume shipping operations. The 24 lb tan Kraft paper with vellum finish provides a professional surface for handwritten or printed addresses. Center-seam construction adds strength along the spine for heavier inserts.
Limits of the Remoistening Seal
The gummed flap requires moisture to activate and is not self-adhesive, so a sealing device or manual dampening is necessary for each envelope. Open-end orientation places the flap on the short side, which suits catalog insertion but may not fit automated inserters built for booklet-style envelopes. No window means addresses must be printed directly on the face or applied via label.
24 lb Paper Weight Determines Durability
The 24 lb stock weight is the single specification that decides whether this envelope withstands your typical catalog thickness and postal handling. Lighter contents ship securely; heavier booklets may require a heavier grade. SFI certification confirms responsible fiber sourcing for buyers with sustainability requirements.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 5.5 x 7.5 inch size or a larger catalog envelope?
The 5.5 x 7.5 inch open-end format fits A7 documents and small catalogs without folding, while the 24 lb kraft stock resists tearing during automated sorting.
How does the 24 lb paper weight perform in a high-volume mailing machine?
At 24 lb the vellum-finish kraft feeds reliably through inserters and postage meters, and the center seam stays flat so sensors read each piece cleanly.
What sealing method does the remoistening flap use and does it meet postal automation standards?
The flap-down remoistening seal activates with standard water-based equipment and produces a secure bond that passes USPS machinability requirements for catalog-rate mail.
