Self-Seal?? More like Self-loose...
Product description at the top says "self seal" so I was expecting one of those sealing strips covered by a length of paper, where you pull the paper off and stick the newly opened sticky substance onto the paper. The reality is much different; they already have some "stick" substance attached on either flap (or at least they are supposed to). Either because the product has waited too long in stock or because it was poorly designed (with regards to the sticky substance) the flaps on my envelopes are always loose. Even when you tighlty press the two edges, the flaps come loose after a very short period of time. Not only can you not use these envelopes for anything that requires discretion or security, but also you can't use it to mail anything to someone either. Unless, of course, you buy some glue and glue the flaps together...... Which takes away the whole point of "self-seal" in the first place. For a product that costs $11 and requires you to glue the flaps if you want them sealed, this is a very bad choice in my opinion.
