Help! My envelopes aren’t sticking.

"Cards and Pockets envelopes are made from premium paper which is much heavier than the standard business or greeting card envelope paper and can take a little extra effort to seal. Here are some tips for successful sealing:

• We highly recommend using an “envelope moistener”. This provides a consistent application of moisture. Other tools that can help achieve even moisture are a brush dipped in water or a Qtip. Clear glue stick and double-sided tape work well. Zip Dry Glue is also a great option (be sure to use just enough to seal the envelope, any more could cause wrinkling or seep through the paper).

• After the glue has been moistened, seal the envelope by pressing firmly, moving fingers with consistent pressure across all adhesive areas for 10 seconds. This step is critical to assure a secure adhesion.

• After envelopes are sealed, place them under something heavy while they dry. This will reduce any flap wrinkles and help to ensure a good seal.

• We recommend asking your local post office to “hand-cancel” your invites instead of machine processing. This will allow greater care to be taken when processing. "
