I am looking for a small envelope that I can put my unmounted rubber stamps in. Are these sturdy enough to handle a card stock pic and the stamp?

It would fit the card stock, I don't think it would fit the stamp unless it was a small acrylic stamp. But I haven't tried it.

It depends on the size of the stamp because it only holds an a2 cards size item

They would be sturdy enough for storage purposes of the card stock and cling type stamp....but for frequent use (opening and getting out, put back in, repeat the next time the stamp was needed), I don't think this would be a great option. While you are able to open the clear bag once it has been adhered closed, you have to be very careful. And re-inserting can be a pain if the card stock sticks to the adhesive.....I really like your idea....I think a thicker poly zip-type bag would work better.

These are very strong and are archival grade plastic (won't discolor or break down). I've used them for small paintings on heavy paper that were displayed in a store for over a month and even with all that handling the envelopes are still clear and clean.

Good Question...but I think so. Know that they are not rigidly stiff (can bend some)....but would give extra protection, especially if clothing is also packaged in plastic. I purchased this chipboard to ship photos...and protect mailing envelope from bending too much.

You could probably use these, I don't see it being an issue. But keep in mind it's not hard plastic. It's quite thin. It would honestly just boil down to personal preference if you ask me and would depend on the type of card.

Hi Lovelylady,Thank you for your inquiry!Manufacturer states that they can use card stock as long as the paper is no thicker than 11 mils. Some of the papers in our catalog will state the mil thickness.BisonOffice

I use them for one card with an envelope and that works perfectly - you might fit one or two more, but it would be a sqeeze

Absolutely. I use two of them to surround a Rainbow Bridge poem on paper that I don't want bent when it is shipped. So at least two will fit in that size envelope. Denise Tallman

the cards are about the same weight as index cards, and are slightly textured, but doesn't interfere with writing on it...the envelopes are just regular weight envelopes...hope that helps...

Not sure about stamps... However, i printed on them using my color printer. You have to turn your image upside down and feed the bags in (one by one) bottom side first. If you feed the bags in the printer from the top of the bag, it sometimes would catch and jam the printer....these bags are awesome and a very cute detail!! I put chips in them for a baby shower and the oil from the chips didn't show at all.

Absolutely. It's an 8 1/2 X 11 sheet of card stock. Fold it in half and you get 5 1/2 X 8 1/2. They do make envelopes for that size.

They are sturdy, but the base is a little small and they can be "tippy". I got them to display invitations in a stationery shop, and find that they didn't perform as well as I'd hoped. A little bump will knock them over. The clip will probably scratch up a vinyl record too, so don't use anything that's not disposable. They would probably work if you can't find something with a bigger base.Hope that was helpful.

I had trouble with heavy stock paper. The rollers jam the paper. So, I would expect that heavy card stock might. But, if you're referring to invitation or christmas card stock paper, it will work, but you can't do a very long run. Better to print in batches. Hope this helps.

They will hold what I consider to be a small post card. Post cards come in different sizes. I don't have mine with me, or I would measure them for you.

I would suggest you use them for stamps only temporarily. These bags feel more waxy than the glassine envelopes I purchased for the students in my stamp club advisor days. Regular glassine envelopes for stamps are very inexpensive and available from stamp dealers locally or online.

Yes. The envelopes will easily accomodate 8" x 11" paper folded like a regular letter.The postage is one first class stamp for just a letter or a few pages.Really sets off your mailings from the basic white envelope.

Absolutely. They're heavy enough stock to do well with a picture. Very suited to write inside.

Unfortunately, these envelopes are NOT heat resistant. :-( I use Stamps.com for a lot of my postage needs, so will print the postage onto a label, then trim that label to fit on these envelopes. I'd only go thru the trouble to do this IF I wanted a "date" stamped on my postage, like for a mortgage payment, etc. Still, you'd be hard pressed to find a better deal for general usage. Hope this helps, Howard

I worked for a company that used this bag type. The stamp smeared. If you are a small operation, it's okay. You would have to make sure it had time to dry. If you handle it right away, it would smear. I would recommend not using a stamp on this type of envelope.
