What Pack Sizes Are Window Envelopes Available In?
Staples offers envelopes with windows in various pack sizes from as few as 25 all the way up to orders of 1,000. The available quantities will vary depending on the style.
What Is a Security Tint?
A security tint darkens the window, preventing onlookers from seeing the contents inside. Using a security tint is a good practice when transporting sensitive information that shouldn’t be tampered with. Consider using a security envelope if you plan on sending checks, cash or important documents such as health or government records. Windowed envelopes are a great option for businesses and agencies that require extra security while still being able to display important details.
Are Envelopes With Windows Recyclable?
Yes, but there are a few factors to consider when recycling your windowed envelope. The paper portion of window envelopes is recyclable, however the plastic must be removed and thrown away. While paper can easily be broken down at most recycling centers, it is more difficult to degrade the plastic and only some places can do so. If you’d like to recycle the plastic, check with your local recycling center first to see if they require it to be removed.
