SAE envelope suggestions

[Lightmaster]

What type/brand of envelopes do you send? Need some advices! If you can also include a link where you can order them...
Please help me out finding what I need

Edit. Also if you know a company or something like that who can print address labels/ or on the envelope (If anyone uses this). Thanks!

I just use the kind at Wal-Mart but any store should have them (CVS, Walgreens, probably even grocery stores). I usually get 9X12 manila envelopes with clasps.

I just handwrite my address on the front.

Hope this helped.

I just get manila 'sticky topped' envelopes from the supermarket and I handwrite the address on the front.
Good luck with your collecting

Hm what envelope size do you usually put inside? Thanks for the replies so far!

I use the 9X12 for my SASE and a 6X9 for the envelope addressed to the celeb.

9x12 for the SASE? But how do you get that 9x12 inside a 6x9 envelope? Im pretty confused lol :S Someone please explain.

I fold the 9X12 into half and then half again and it fits great into the 6X9.

I have heard of some people using 9X12s for a SASE and a 10X13 to hold it so the SASE won't get bent, but I have found that my way costs less (you have to put large letter postage on the 10X13, but not on the 6X9) and if the post office want's to bend it they will, no matter if it is already creased or not.

Hope this helped. Let me know if you have more questions.

Thanks alot for making it clear for me Just 1 thing.. I couldn't find any good envelopes at my local store

So searching for a website where I can order them from instead, and found these.

http://www.globalindustrial.com/p/offic ... 12-100-box

= 9x12's

and

= 6x9's

Do they look ok to you? Thanks alot for helping me out!

[BossC]

Those look great! At my store they were with stationary/envelopes/notepads. But if you are looking for a big box like the online links, I don't think every store carries that. Maybe Office Max or Office Depot since they ARE office supplies.

Best of luck.

Thanks! Curious how much US postage do you put on? Let's say a letter, SASE and the addressed envelope and hopefully a photo the celeb will include I have no clue on how much it will weight/cost. And if someone could tell me, what UK stamps I'll need to send a request.

New to the whole SASE/SAE thing, usually I just send out poor request without anything else But haven't got that many replies so far.

Hope this will work out better
