Choosing Shipping Supplies: Paper vs Tyvek Mailing Envelopes
When you are mailing important documents, the envelope you choose is the only thing protecting your paperwork from the elements and the rough handling of the postal system. You must choose between the standard economy of Paper Envelopes and the incredible durability of Tyvek Envelopes.
The Economy of Paper Envelopes
Standard paper is the backbone of daily corporate mail.
- The Build: It is highly cost-effective and perfectly fine for standard office use, basic invoices, and everyday correspondence.
- The Vulnerability: However, standard paper offers absolutely zero protection against rain, and it tears easily if the envelope gets caught in a massive postal sorting machine.
The Invincibility of Tyvek
Tyvek is a highly engineered synthetic material designed for absolute protection.
- The Build: It looks and feels slightly like paper, but it is completely waterproof, tear-proof, and virtually indestructible under normal mailing conditions.
The Raven32 Recommendation
You must evaluate the value of the documents inside. As your printing and promotional experts, our rule is strict. If you are mailing highly sensitive legal documents, massive real estate contracts, or expensive artwork, always upgrade to Tyvek envelopes so they cannot rip open in transit.
