Clasp envelopes feature a two-prong metal or brass clasp that fastens through a reinforced hole in the flap, holding the envelope securely closed without any adhesive. To close: bend the prongs flat. To open: bend them up and pull the flap. Fully reusable — no adhesive, no tearing. Available in sizes from coin envelopes to large 15″ × 20″ catalog mailers, they’re the standard for interoffice routing, document files, and anything accessed multiple times. See how the clasp mechanism works in the guide below.
