What Are Pocket Envelopes?
Pocket envelopes differ from traditional envelopes because they do not do not seal. Traditionally, pocket envelopes open on the shorter end, while traditional wallet envelopes open from the top. Smaller pocket envelopes may be used for wedding invitations or for protecting credit cards, whereas larger pocket envelopes may be used in offices similarly to file folders. Does this Spark an idea?
