Buyers Guides

Gusset Envelopes are widely used for the postage and transportation of larger documentation as the envelope offers increased internal space allowing for the insertion of greater content. 

As the name suggests the Gusset envelope has a folding flap around 3 sides that allows it to expand to hold documents of between 20mm and 70mm in thickness.

Some of the many uses of the Gusseted envelopes include the mailing of books, manuals and other bulky items that do not fit within standard sized envelopes 

Gusset envelope sizes vary widely and are dependent ultimately on the size of Gusset, our range includes options between 20mm Gusset envelopes, 25mm Gusset envelopes, 38mm Gusset envelopes, 50mm Gusset envelopes & 70mm Gusset envelopes and are suitable for the postage of various sized contents.

Therefore all that you need to do is to check the width of the document that you wish to send and then purchase a gusseted envelope that is large enough to accommodate it.

As Gusset envelopes are generally used for the posting of oversized marterials the envelope GSM is a very important factor to consider when looking to identify a suitable envelope for your needs.

GSM options widely vary and are available in the following; 90gsm gusseted envelope, 100gsm gusseted envelope, 115gsm gusseted envelope, 120gsm gusseted envelopes, 125gsm gusseted envelope, 130gsm gusseted envelope, 135gsm gusseted envelope and 155gsm gusseted envelopes.

The heavier the weight gsm (grams per square metre) of the gusseted envelope the greater the strength and durability.

There are three common types of seal available on our range of Gusseted envelopes, the most popular method is Peel & Seal gusset envelopes with Self Seal gusset envelopes & Gummed gusseted envelopes options also available.

Peal & Seal gusseted envelopes and also the gummed are easiest to use, if you will be storing them and using over a long period of time it is probably worth getting the peal & seal variety as the glue has the longest life due to the protective strip.

If you plan to use in a short period of time and will be packing large volumes at once them gummed gusseted envelopes are probably your best bet as they are the quickest to seal.
