Perfect for File Storage Jan 26, 2004
By Rebecca Johnson
"The Rebecca Review"
I've been buying a variety of envelopes for a few years now and love the quality, crisp look and durability of the Columbian Kraft Envelopes. I use these for mailing items wrapped in newspaper and with a bit of clear packaging tape, this is an economical way to go when shipping mail all over the country. Anyone who knows me, knows they will probably see something in one of these envelopes at some point. I have also used them to cover recycled boxes to make the package look a bit more presentable. You simply cut the envelopes open and use them like brown paper. It works! These envelopes are perfect for when you want to store information that you want to be able to access quickly. Since they have a clasp on them, you don't have to worry about sealing up the envelope and then having to destroy the envelope to retrieve the contents.
I also enjoy using the Brown Crafts Open-End Catalog Envelopes in a variety of sizes. Mostly I love the 9x12-inch envelopes for many applications. You can mail out items wrapped in newspaper and save yourself the trouble of buying so much bubble wrap. I also recently organized my office using the catalog envelopes for various applications. I had great fun printing off labels from my little DYMO LabelWriter. It is bliss to be organized. With Columbian envelopes, I feel more confident about how my business letters and packages look and I think that this company has very high quality items that are crisp, clean and very affordable. These envelopes are environmentally friendly, durable and 28lb. recycled brown kraft is ideal for direct mail, promotional materials, etc. These have an open-end style and also have fully gummed seals, although I normally just tape everything with clear packaging tape. I also love the No. 10 Grip-Seal varieties you can find in 50 and 100 size boxes. I like the ones you don't have to lick because I hate the taste of the glue. So, you can either choose the grip-seal variety or the regular envelopes. Columbian envelopes are perfect for all applications. They have high quality products and are made in the U.S.A. ~TheRebeccaReview.com

Best clasp envelopes for the price Mar 23, 2011
By Ryan I have to admit that I am the frugal type especially with home office supplies. As long as it gets the job done, I am all for it. I also love to organize. Have been using clasp envelopes from Walmart, Staples, Target and even the 99 cents store for a while until my batch ran out and checked at Amazon.com... Lo and behold, they have clasp envelopes! Why am I not surprised? :P They are definitely at par (thick) with the major brands and way cheaper than the 99 cents stores. Been using this to mail and store documents and other paper works. It doesn't have the self adhesive tape, but the normal "sticky film" so you need to wet it to make it stick. I am not really into licking envelope flaps. I find it disgusting. Settle with water or glue it, people! :)

Excellent envelopes! Feb 17, 2011
By akira900gt These are some high quality envelopes. Very durable and sturdy. Not thin like cheaper brands. Self sealing works great. Will definitely be buying more of these when I eventually run out. Highly recommended!

Hard to find in local stores Jan 30, 2011
By To buy or not to buy Hard to believe, but it's becoming difficult to find an envelope that has the clasp within half an inch of the intended location! If you are tired of bottom quality envelopes from the two or three big office supply chains, this product is an excellent alternative and the price is competitive. The kraft paper is of good quality and the flap doesn't come pre-curled from the factory.
Brown Kraft Envelopes May 05, 2012
By Cathy Most of open end are open. This order sold by 100 and the quality is very bad. I was very disappointed by this order this time. Too bad!
