It pays to handle envelopes with care

For stored envelopes, proper stacking is important to keep them in good condition. In cartons, or boxes, envelopes should always be standing on edge. Lying flat or in partially used boxes, it’s too easy for them to become distorted, or have their flaps stick. Keep boxes and cartons closed and sealed, and store in a dry, well-ventilated place.

Proper sealing is achieved by making sure enclosures are not too bulky for the envelope, by moistening entire gum surface, and by holding firmly until sealed.

For machine sealing, moisture applicator should be cleaned at least once a month, depending upon usage. Check the water feed line for air bubbles or obstructions. Press the pile after every 25 envelopes to ensure sealing.
