What are shipping envelopes?

Mailing envelopes are sturdy envelopes designed for shipping flat items, documents, and lightweight objects. Depending on the model, they differ in terms of the type of paper used, the closure type, additional capacity, or built-in padding.

In our product range, you’ll find shipping envelopes made from recycled paper, kraft paper, and other types of paper. We offer standard DIN sizes such as C6, C5, and C4, as well as various custom sizes.

Typical Uses for Envelopes

Envelopes are used in a wide variety of settings, such as for:

  • invoices, contracts, and business documents

  • Brochures, catalogs, and informational materials

  • Product samples and small items

  • Presentation materials, samples, and creative work

  • flat items in e-commerce

This makes them ideal for retailers, self-employed individuals, government agencies, educational institutions, and creative professionals, among others. Depending on the contents, the format, paper type, closure, and padding can be selected accordingly.

Padded envelopes with paper padding

Selected shipping envelopes feature padding made of corrugated or honeycomb paper. This protects the contents from impacts and pressure and is suitable, for example, for product samples, promotional materials, photos, and small products.

Whether a shipping envelope is made entirely of paper and how it can be disposed of depends on its specific construction. Information on materials, closures, and padding can be found in the product description.
