Manila Envelopes and Folders: Organize Documents & Products

Manila envelopes are basically buff- or kraft-brown-colored document holders and folders that are used to organize or transport documents, letters, reports, and small objects. They are thick and durable holders that are made with Manila paper, and they are tear-resistant. They are also used as folders to keep the documents neatly managed and prevent any folding or crumpling in the bigger files.

They come with various closing mechanisms, which make them tamper-evident and a safe and secure way for shipping. Traditionally, they were made from manila hemp that is also known as abaca. But with the passage of time, manufacturers have started making it with cardstock material. They come in various sizes and styles with different seal options. 

Why Are These Envelopes Called Manila? 

Why are Manila envelopes still called Manila when they are made from other materials as well?

Well, history tells us that "manila" is just a term that is used for a yellow-brown texture that came from a abacca plant. In simple words, envelopes that are made from brown and unbleached paper are used for their cheapness, and they are known as Manila envelopes.

The Manila envelopes originated from the Philippines' native plant species known as Manila hemp or abacá. It was first used on the ships as a Manila rope, but then it was recycled, and people started to use it in place of cotton and linen. And it was later found in packaging applications such as envelopes and custom boxes.

From Original To Modern Variations Material 

Manila hemp, or abacá fibers, was initially made from the abaca plant. This plant is found in the Philippines. But now these envelopes are not made from hemp. But in fact, they are made from eco-friendly materials like recyclable Kraft paper. But they are still called Manila because of this old tradition. 

There are modern types of material that we see today in the making of these envelopes, like

Recycled Kraft Paper: This is a 100% recyclable paper and is commonly used to make these envelopes.

Virgin Kraft Paper: It is a new paper that is made from tree pulp. And it gives extra strength and cleanliness.

Clasp Closure Versus Gummed Seal Envelopes

You can make your document envelope tamper-proof and fully sealed by using three to four common methods, which are the clasp closure, the gum seal, the button and string closure, and self-seal. They are very different from each other and offer different benefits.

Reinforced Clasp Closure

These Manila envelopes have a metal clasp that allows you to easily open and reseal the envelope. This sealing method does not damage the document sleeve. It is perfect for those documents or records that are sealed temporarily or accessed frequently. It gives added strength and protection to your documents.

Gummed/Moistenable Seal

This type of Manila envelope closing needs moisture for the flap to seal it permanently. It provides a more secure closure, and it is suitable for mailing important documents.

Self-Seal Closure

These envelopes have a glue strip on the inner side of the closing flap. You just need to peel that seal and stick it to the closing side for a strong seal. You can apply a little pressure to ensure their proper sealing. They are often called peel-and-seal envelopes.

Button and String Closure

These types of envelopes have a button and a string attached to the flap for closing the envelope. You just need to loop the string around the button to close it. This makes these envelopes reusable without damage.

Note: If you want to choose one among them, it depends on your priority and usability. All are tamper-evident and perfect for office, home, or mailing needs.
