Strong C4 Board Backed Envelopes for A4 Documents
Our C4 board backed envelopes provide strong, rigid protection for A4 documents sent through the post. Measuring approximately 324mm x 229mm, they are designed to hold standard A4 sheets flat, without folding.
Made using a tough 1000 micron board backing and 120gsm paper, these heavy-duty envelopes help protect documents from bending, creasing and damage while in transit.
They are ideal for businesses, offices, schools, solicitors, accountants, photographers, artists and anyone sending important A4 documents through the post.
Heavy Duty A4 Board Backed Envelopes
Unlike an ordinary paper envelope, a board backed envelope has a rigid card backing that helps keep its contents flat.
These C4 envelopes are particularly suitable for sending:
- certificates and qualifications
- contracts and legal documents
- photographs and prints
- artwork and illustrations
- reports and presentations
- brochures and catalogues
- important business documents
For particularly delicate items, additional cardboard envelope stiffeners can also be added for even greater rigidity.
