Collection: Gummed

The traditional closure, still trusted by millions. Gummed envelopes use a moisture-activated adhesive applied to the flap - moisten, press and seal. The standard closure for franking machine users, high-volume inserting operations and anyone who prefers the proven reliability of a water-activated bond.
