These envelopes are just what I was looking for. Some features:

1. They are stiffer than ordinary envelopes, due to the use of 24-pound paper. This makes them lie flat and noticeably enhances the look of the envelope, as well as the feel.

2. They have a nice, professional-looking and -feeling finish.

3. Though they have a security tint, this is not apparent from the outside of the envelope because of the thicker paper.

4. They are far harder to look through than ordinary envelopes because of the security tint / pattern as well as the increased opacity.

5. The glue holds quite well. (Unlike another reviewer, in my testing the envelope tore when I attempted a slow peel-open.)

6. They print well.

7. The flap extends to the corners on the back of the envelope (I am nitpicky, perhaps, but I much prefer this standard look to a straight line or similar, as you find on self-adhesive designs).

8. They are so cheap, at 4 cents per envelope, that anyone can use them for just about any purpose except perhaps mass mailings without worrying about the cost. (In other words, while they're not the cheapest you can buy, they're close enough so as probably not to matter.)

In summation, I really like these envelopes and will continue to use them for my business and at home. Just about the only drawback I can see for anyone would be the fact that you have to moisten the envelope. Personally, this doesn't bother me (but I continue to hope for the release of better-tasting glue, perhaps something in "beef teriyaki" instead of "generic sweet quasi-mint").

My only complaint is the glue. It'll hold the envelope shut, but one time I accidentally placed something in the envelope that shouldn't have been, and only realized after sealing it. I easily opened the envelope without destroying it. So it works, but I don't think it'd fit applications where security was essential.

The delivey was very timely and the product was of good quality. I would re-order again. The price was reasonable as well.

I needed more envelopes, so I ordered these envelopes. They are great...They hold together go...They are a great price too. I guess 500 envelopes is a little bit more then the normal person need, but I write/send a lot of stuff. Thank you.

Not a whole lot you can say about envelopes. These seem to work fine for their intended purpose. I only give them 4 stars since I'm not sure any envelope is so good that it deserves a "perfect" rating:>). I would buy these again, so I guess that's the best recommendation anyway.
