Envelope: Jump To Navigationjump To Search

An envelope is a common packaging item made of thin, flat material designed to contain flat objects like letters or cards. Traditionally, envelopes are cut from paper sheets in rhombus, short-arm cross, or kite shapes which allow the sheet sides to fold around a central area to form a rectangular face with four flaps on the reverse side. Envelopes today are also commonly made from synthetic materials like Tyvek.

DL Tyvek envelope

An envelope is a common packaging item, usually made of thin, flat material. It is designed to
contain a flat object, such as a letter or card.
Traditional envelopes are made from sheets of paper cut to one of three shapes: a rhombus, a short-
arm cross or a kite. These shapes allow for the creation of the envelope structure by folding the
sheet sides around a central rectangular area. In this manner, a rectangle-faced enclosure is formed
with an arrangement of four flaps on the reverse side.
