Note Card Cafe Square 5.5 x 5.5 Kraft Brown Envelopes | 1000 Pack | Sealable, Square Flap | Perfect for Invitations, Greeting Cards, Baby Showers, Weddings, Mailing, Crafts | Printable, Multipurpose

Using for wedding invite envelopes- color is darker brown than appears online. In my image is the A7 and A2 envelopes that I expected to be the same tan color but weren't. A2 was tan (they are the smaller size), while the A7 are clearly darker brown. Both descriptions and colors online were exactly similar for the paper weight and company, so if your expecting tan, don't be surprised that it's browner.

Nice envelopes. Thick and opaque but not as thick as the average business card. It's a great color for a rustic themed wedding invitation. I sealed mine with antique gold wax also purchased on Amazon and the combination looks fantastic! I feel like I need to send these letters off by owl delivery

I'm an active penpaller and mail artist swapper and so I go through paper supplies like crazy! There was little feedback for these at the time of my purchase, so I wasn't sure what I'd get--plus I was unfamiliar with this brand. Having just left poor feedback for another set of envelopes, I'm all too aware of how much can actually go wrong with a item as deceptively basic as a simple envelope. But these are stellar!The boring but vital stats: These are classic #10 sized 'business' envelopes in "Kraft". Though the description says they're 70lb, nothing on the packaging confirms that and I highly doubt they're that thick because your average scrapbook-quality card stock is about 65lbs--and these are way more flexible than that. However, they aren't too flimsy and I can pack in several sheets of paper and a few pieces of ephemera or a small photo or two without worry. I ordered a 100 pack, I received 100 (I counted). They're all evenly cut, no weird inconsistencies in size, color, or texture. They don't stink of cheap glue (these aren't self adhesive). However, the glue doesn't quite span the entire length of the envelope so you may need little pieces of tape to secure the ends--be aware of that. It's a small gripe but must be mentioned. I also don't suspect these are inkjet printer compatible. Ok, now the fun part.......I have no idea how the average person plans to use these, but I discovered these are AMAZING for those of us who like to do fancy address lettering; they take a pencil, but more importantly, an eraser sooooo well! So forgiving. I go over my pencil work with a Posca metallic pen and outline/highlight with a Gellyroll or Spica Glass--and it looks seriously incredible. The paper is a tad more pulpy than a standard smooth white envelope; it can't take all tip types (some fountain pens may struggle) as if it gets too wet the paper may ball a little and no one likes to drag their nib, but there's no significant bleed through and this accepts virtually all art pens I've tried. I adore how my guide lines just vanish COMPLETELY, without at all compromising the finish of the paper, when I erase them. No more freehand for me!The definition and texture of "Kraft" paper wildly varies so this is my best description::Some cheapy Kraft paper is really flat and basically just like dyed brown standard printer paper--this isn't. Some Kraft paper is more like disposable 'butcher block' paper and has a kind of slickness or blotchiness I can't work with--this isn't. Then finally, some Kraft papers are thick with fibers and 'hairs' and are uneven and rough in texture--this isn't. So I love how ideal these envelopes are for art work. The shade is just a touch lighter than most grocery store sacks.I'll be ordering more and pursuing other paper products from this brand.

For envelopes, it really is important to accurately state the dimensions in the description.For this product, the dimensions were listed online as 7.25 x 5.25. The actual dimensions are 7 1/8 x 5 1/4 (5.25) inches. It seems like a small difference, but for an envelope, to be short in width by 1/8th of an inch, is a huge problem. There is no viable reason that the accurate dimensions were not listed in the description.I would like Envelope Cafe to explain why they did not accurately post the dimensions in the product description. I also would like Envelope Cafe to let me know if they can replace my order with envelopes that are exactly 7.25 x 5.25.The envelope is well made with the exception of the size. When the size is wrong, the envelope is of no value.

Okay, I don't know what some of the other reviewers about these envelopes are saying about the glue not being strong enough. I had sent out 250 christmas cards with these envelopes and everyone of them, including the ones that went international, made it in one piece.The thickness of the paper is like a good quality brown bag from a major supermarket chain, however a bit lighter in shade. They have a nice smooth feel to them, but you can feel some of the finer fibers that you would feel in a brown bag. I even printed our return address with an HP Laserjet in the upper left corner.And theres nothing really bad to say about these envelopes... I would order them again.

No complaints.. Bought these for my wedding thank you cards so I could also give a 4x6 photo. Picture slid in with no issues- plenty of room. The color is a lighter Kraft color, not super thick but sufficient enough, and the seal doesn't taste terrible. Overall great product.

Good quality. I wanted something different than plain white envelopes for general purpose, Bills etc. I also like to write hand letters to friends sometimes, so these make it seem a little special as well. A note these ship without a box, just shrink wrapped between two pieces of cardboard. So I store them in an old envelope box I already had. They are a bit lighter than a brown paper bag.

We used these for my bridal shower invitations and they worked perfectly! I actually printed the addresses on them myself. These envelopes ran through my Canon PIXMA MP280 Inkjet Photo printer very well and they turned out SO cute! A lot of people commented on how nice they looked. I just used black ink and designed the address labels myself through Adobe Illustrator.
