About board backed envelopes
Board backed envelopes, otherwise referred to as carboard envelopes, documents envelopes, do not bend envelopes, and certificate envelopes, are designed for posting items that need extra support during transit. They are commonly used for sending important paperwork, photographs, catalogues, certificates, contracts, marketing materials, and other flat products.
The brown board backed envelopes combine a strong paper front with a rigid board backing, providing extra support for flat content. The printed “Please Do Not Bend” message helps make handlers aware that the contents should remain flat.
Choosing the right envelope
To choose the right envelope, consider the size and thickness of the item being posted. Documents, certificates, and printed materials should fit comfortably inside the envelope without being forced or folded.
For A4 documents, choose the A4 size board backed envelope. For smaller documents, folded paperwork, or A5 items, a smaller envelope size may be more suitable. If you are sending thicker items, multiple documents, or bulkier products, a capacity mailer or book wrap mailer may provide a better fit.
