Envelope Businesses

Envelopes are required by nearly all commercial businesses all over the world. Since this product is in such a great demand, no wonder so many are in the business of making envelopes. There are mainly four types of envelopes businesses: manufacturing, supply, printing and inserting.

Manufacturers make envelopes in bulk from raw material, using machines. Home-based workers can also make hand-made envelopes, but there is limited demand. (Also be aware that most \"make money from home stuffing envelopes\" advertisements are scams.) Envelopes are generally supplied by the same companies, which manufacture them. But in some cases, a separate seller is involved. Printing is also an offshoot business but is frequently done by the same company. Establishments involved in printing industry also offer printing of envelopes for customization. Bulk printing of envelopes with company logo and address is the most common requirement.

Quality printing is achieved with the use of pre-press and plate making equipment. Envelope printing is generally done by two methods, offset Lithography and Flexography. For printing of individual addresses on each envelope, the help of some service providers is required. They print the addresses through computer software or write them by hand.

Insertion of envelopes is commonly done by special automatic insertion machines. But they can accept only particular size and type of envelopes, in which case home based workers are employed. Although the Internet and newspapers run plenty of ads, it is very difficult to distinguish genuine ones from the scam artists. It would be wiser to make direct contact for envelope stuffing needs.
