Tyvek also has a smooth finish and has a more upscale look and feel than regular paper. It’s also water resistant which ensures it will hold up and look better when delivered especially if it’s raining! It’s virtually impossible to tear which makes it ideal for mailing anything that has rough or sharp edges like a spiral bound booklet for instance. It’s not only lighter, but a lot lighter so much so that it can make up for all of the increased cost and then some in reduced mailing costs as the chart below shows.ĭupont’s Tyvek has been around for many years and has a reputation for durability and functionality in the mailing world. Yes, Tyvek is a lot more expensive than regular paper envelopes but it has one property that makes it well worth considering for mailings it’s lighter than paper. Now I hear you screaming, “But Tyvek is soooo expensive!” Well, calm down my friend. One way is to incorporate Tyvek envelopes into the mix.

While all the political machinations can be interesting (or tedious), those of us in businesses that in some way rely on a functioning post office are, unlike government, forced to deal with the reality of pleasing customers and making a buck. This makes it less nimble and able to adapt to an ever-changing economy which in a nutshell is why they find themselves grossly in debt and struggling to make the necessary adjustments. There’s a built-in bias against change especially as it relates to staffing levels. Yes, there’s no doubt that the USPS suffers from the same type of bureaucratic/political sclerosis that infects most government-run entities. It’s fashionable to regard the Post Office as some relic of a benighted past before all the wonderful digital machines were invented. In previous posts I've recapped the ongoing travails of our Postal Service.
