The former Columbian Envelopes manufactured by MeadWestvaco Corp is now owned by CenVeo Corp after MeadWestvaco/MWV has sold the envelope business to Cenveo, who also has thier own brand envelopes (Quality Park Brand Envelopes) sold here on Amazon and at both OfficeMax and OfficeDepot.

As noticed Quality Park Envelopes also sells mostly for $30 and up for a box of envelopes, however some have been seen at priced below $20 and even $10.


Buy them and stock up now before Cenveo raises prices on the Columbian Brand to match thier Quality Park Brand, who knows, they may even discontinue the Columbian Brand and stick to thier own Quality Park Brand.

I know this, because i am also an employee at one of the former MWV plants, now known as Cenveo Corp.

It's hard to be too creative in reviewing envelopes. They hold my mail, the price was great, and they arrived the day after I ordered them!

These are not your fancy, waterproof, un-tearable envelopes. These are simple inexpensive envelopes that I primarily use to mail out checks. It does the job for that purpose.

I tried most brands/types of envelope in this category and this is the best I ever found. Paying 4.99$ for 100 count really surprised me with such quality product.

These envelopes work well. There wasn't anything wrong with them. I was
pleased with them. I would purchase them again.

The paper itself is fine, but the envelopes sticking ability is not good. I have to use tape to close the envelope I would not buy them again

Decent envelopes. Work as good as any and are cheap. Can hold a few papers without issues folding. Would buy again if needed them.

Envelopes are the holders of love letters, notices of inheritance, birthday cards and beautiful pictures of families at Christmas time.

Too usual, I thought, when one was delivered into my life. Insipidly white, without so much as the adorning blue speckled lining used when mailing things of discretion, these pretended to portend nothing more than a letter. All my uncles were either poor or healthy, and none were with the kind of fondness required to entreat me to riches upon their earthly demise.

These simple #10 envelopes carry the most ordinary contents. Mine, the one sent to me, carried one piece of paper, a news clipping. A friend from years back sent it to me. His address was written in a sharp India ink in the top left corner, with his initials, PS. My name and address was written in blue, slightly to the right of center. There was no note. None was needed. The clipping was curse enough.

The clipping was short. She was married, it said, to an otherwise good man, in early October amidst the autumn colors in a church just south of where I used to live. I don't remember his name. Hers is emblazoned on my soul.

Why I left that town I cannot say. Why she stayed I never knew. What remains is space between us and in my heart, neither of which can be reduced by returning there. The church I knew well, finding there once the solace of quiet and of God. I have not found such peace since.

Offered here are 100 envelopes. The seal is not always secure, and the box does not always close neatly, small features for some, but missing that five-star quality. Suitable for office needs, and better used as such than for mailing newspaper clippings of lost loves to old friends who will sit and mumble and muse about how empty the envelope now feels.
