By Lake John


An envelope means a packing item which is in general prepared of thin and flat material. It is designed in a fashion that it can carry a letter, card, bank note or check for sending to people by post. The envelopes of traditional times are made of paper cuts of 1 to 3 shapes; it's been given a sort of kite or rhombus. Folding the sheet sides of an envelope to the mid rectangular area is done to close the envelope after the work is done. It's a extremely essential element for sending affairs from the very start of civilization.

The most common use of envelopes is the enclosure and posting letters or documents by a postal system which is in general not post-paid, that means prepaid. There are various sorts of envelopes according to the shapes, flaps and using purposes. Some of the types are named window envelopes, security envelopes, return envelopes, business envelopes and so on. As the envelopes are paper-made, further drawings and text are present on the front or back side of an envelope. It isn't warranted for every type of envelopes. It varies from type to type. In previous times envelopes were manufactured by hand as there were no machines to make envelopes. But recently all the envelopes are made by machine; as it is the age of quality and production.

Envelopes can be different in shapes and in raw material if it is utilized for military purposes. This is thanks to the fact that many hush-hush documents were being sent during all wars or critical scenarios. But in the age of e-mail and web the use of letters thru envelope has reduced noticeably, although there are some standard and formal uses of envelopes which cannot be replaced by web and emails.

Unfilled soil orbs were used as raw materials to make such envelopes in those days. The purposes were usually the same as ours.

Recently the U.S. Postal Service is the first authority to confirm the printing system of envelopes by PC page printer with assistance from the web.
