FAQ

What is a booklet envelope?

A booklet envelope is designed to hold and protect documents, brochures, or other paper items that are too large or bulky to fit into standard envelopes. They typically open on the longer side and come in various sizes to accommodate different materials.

What are booklet envelopes used for?

Booklet envelopes are used for mailing multi-page documents, catalogs, large brochures or any items requiring a flat, more flexible space than traditional envelopes. They make inserting and removing contents easier without bending or folding, which is especially helpful for business documents or presentations.

Are booklet envelopes and catalog envelopes different?

Yes, booklet envelopes and catalog envelopes are different. The main difference is the orientation of the opening. Booklet envelopes open on the long side, while catalog envelopes open on the short side. This makes booklet envelopes ideal for inserting and removing materials that are bound on the longer edge, whereas catalog envelopes are better for thicker, heavier items that can be stacked inside.
