Despite the proliferation of email, there are still times when sending physical documents is essential. When the documents to be sent are important, you need to be sure that they will arrive in perfect condition. Even with the best efforts of the postal system, sometimes letters can be ripped, crushed or even soaking wet on arrival. This is at best inconvenient, but can even cause significant costs and delays where the document has to be sent again. It also reflects badly on your business, despite the fact that it's not actually your fault!
So, what can be done? There is actually a simple and economical solution to the problem. Instead of purchasing standard envelopes, buy tear resistant ones. They only cost marginally more and are designed to keep your documents safe from all but the worst treatment. They are light - important to keep postage costs down - and, as their name suggests, tear resistant. On top of this, they are also waterproof.
As you would expect, strong envelopes are available in a range of sizes. The lightweight materials used in construction mean they are even burst and puncture resistant. Whether you need to ship paper documents, CDs or DVDs, strong envelopes will ensure that your delivery arrives just as you intended it - and as your customer deserves.
Many of the envelopes available are up to ten times stronger than standard paper versions. That's enough to protect their contents from all but the roughest treatment. Their burst and puncture resistant construction means you may even be able to use envelopes instead of more expensive cardboard packaging. As well as reducing material costs this means less storage space, easier packing, and cheaper postage rates.
The envelopes are usually made of a laminate of paper and polythene. This gives them the required strength, but also has a number of other advantages. When the outside layer of construction is paper, the envelopes can often be printed on in the same way as conventional envelopes. Your company branding could be added, for example, to project a truly professional image. Even if you don't need this advanced level of customisation, these envelopes are available in a striking range of colours, which helps your business stand out from the crowd.
As you would expect, there is a choice of envelopes both with and without windows. In fact, you will be able to purchase the same envelopes that you currently use, but with added tear resistance. This range of options means that they can be introduced into your business without disrupting established business processes.
Another benefit is the use of a 'peel and seal' strip for securely sealing the envelope. As well as ensuring that the envelope remains securely sealed after posting, it also means that it will have an extended shelf life. The glue on self-sealing envelopes will often perish within a month or two of purchase: 'peel and seal' envelopes have an indefinite shelf life. Even if your requirement for tear resistant envelopes is occasional, having some in stock is essential.
Concern for the environment is higher than ever today, and businesses are encouraged to do their bit. The use of strong envelopes may be an alternative to bulkier packaging - reducing environmental impact. Not only this, the envelopes are also so robust that your recipient may be able to reuse them. Even they are not reused, the envelopes are made from recyclable materials so, with responsible disposal, they won't end up in landfill.
The many advantages of tear resistant envelopes over bulkier packaging, or standard envelopes, are clear. With lower costs and more availability than ever before, now is the time to discover how tear resistant envelopes can help your business.
