Like so many countries around the world, Ireland uses its fair share of envelopes on a daily basis. Used by businesses and individuals alike, envelopes are the chief postal packaging solution that enable letters, correspondence, bills and so much more to be posted to every outstretch in Eire and the rest of the world in fact. They are by no means a new concept with the first identifiable envelopes being handmade all the way back to ancient times and the first mechanised fabrication of envelopes happening over 200 years ago.
Producing an efficient way to send items over great distances safely, or within the confides of a corporation of office, envelopes today still carry a great importance in shielding material, data, personal letters and more from the eyes of others and they are a necessity for many of us, even today in a world where the internet and electronic methods of contacting others has grown to exponential levels of popularity. On a personalised level there is a certain aspect that is so much better than an email or a text when receiving a letter from a loved one perhaps in an envelope that may have been individualised with a particular fragrance, which also shows a particular journey that the letter has taken to reach you.
A letter or note written by a lover or sent from a distant relative is far more, something that you can treasure or store as a personal keepsake, whomever it may have been from. Many of us will still have a private collection of past letters from our youth, full of memories, maybe from a boyfriend or girlfriend we once dated in our earlier years or perhaps birthday cards for your 21st or 18th birthdays? Whatever memories you may have saved, the likely hood is that all of them were posted to you in envelopes. Getting back to the subject of envelopes, there is no surprise that for many they are still a hugely important factor in everyday life and even though many companies and utility service providers now offer certain options such as paperless billing, there are still millions of us who receive their bills and promotional offers through the post, contained in the humble envelope.
It seems as though the envelope, for many of us, is and has become such an everyday item that we have always been accustomed to and is still a vital and important stationery item that without, many of us would struggle to communicate in quite the same way. Of course there are more envelope varieties now than there has ever been and used for both commercial and domestic purposes, you can see why these card, foil, plastic or paper postal packaging solutions have been so popular and continue to be so immensely important to everyday life. It is not a struggle to see how items such as official documents, X-Ray negatives or photos need to have the right level of protection, whether whilst in storage of when mailed between destinations and so there are specifically designed envelopes for these types of uses.
One of the most interesting inventions to be made available on a wide scale was the introduction of the anti-static envelope. A bizarre protective sleeve, pocket, bag or envelope available in different sizes, the anti-static envelope features a special construction that allows for small electrical items such as mobile phones, PDA’s, circuit boards, microchips, and other PC components to be sent through the post without the remote chance of being destroyed by a stray static discharge. Available with either a no mess peel and seal fastening or a reusable fixing, these and many others are waiting to be purchased now for less online.
