Introduction
This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the proper use and care of your Universal #97 Square Flap Gummed/Clasp Envelopes. These envelopes are designed for secure mailing and storage of various documents, offering versatile closure options through both a gummed seal and a durable metal clasp.
Configuration et préparation
Déballage
Carefully open the packaging. The Universal #97 Envelopes are typically supplied in a box containing 100 units. Inspect the envelopes upon receipt for any signs of damage or manufacturing defects.

Stockage
For optimal preservation of the adhesive and paper quality, store unused envelopes flat in their original packaging or a similar protective container. Keep them in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and excessive humidity. Proper storage prevents the gummed flap from prematurely sticking or drying out.
Mode d'emploi
Inserting Contents
Before sealing, ensure that all documents or items are neatly folded and fit within the envelope's dimensions (approximately 10 x 13 inches) without causing excessive bulging. Overfilling can strain the seams and closure mechanisms.
Using the Gummed Seal
- Prepare the Flap: Fold the envelope flap down over the opening.
- Moisten the Adhesive: Lightly moisten the gummed strip along the inside edge of the flap. Use a damp sponge, an envelope moistener, or a small amount of saliva. Avoid over-wetting.
- Seal the Envelope: Press the moistened flap firmly against the back of the envelope. Apply even pressure across the entire strip for several seconds to ensure a secure bond.
Using the Metal Clasp
The metal clasp provides a reusable and secure closure, ideal for documents that may need to be accessed multiple times or for temporary sealing before final mailing.
- Align the Clasp: Fold the envelope flap down so that the metal prongs align with the reinforced eyelet on the back of the envelope body.
- Insert Prongs: Push the two metal prongs through the eyelet.
- Fixez le fermoir : Once the prongs are through, bend them outwards and flat against the envelope body to secure the flap. Ensure they are bent firmly to prevent accidental opening.

Addressing and Mailing
Use appropriate pens or markers for addressing the envelope. Ensure the recipient's address, return address, and postage are clearly and legibly written or affixed according to postal regulations.
Entretien
Maintaining the quality of your envelopes primarily involves proper storage and handling.
- Stockage optimal : Always store envelopes in their original box or a similar sturdy container to prevent bending, creasing, or damage to the flaps and clasps.
- Contrôle de l'environnement : Protect envelopes from extreme temperatures and humidity fluctuations. High humidity can cause the gummed adhesive to stick prematurely, while excessive dryness can make it brittle and less effective.
- Manutention: Handle envelopes by the edges to avoid transferring oils or dirt to the gummed flap or the paper surface.
