Board Backed Envelopes

Shop board backed envelopes for secure and reliable document delivery at The Green Office. Designed with a rigid cardboard backing, these envelopes help prevent bending, creasing and damage during transit, making them ideal for posting important documents and flat items.

Board backed envelopes are commonly used for sending certificates, contracts, photographs and artwork, ensuring contents arrive in excellent condition without the need for additional packaging.

Do not bend envelopes for document protection

Board backed envelopes, often labelled “Do Not Bend”, are specifically designed to keep contents flat and protected. The stiff backing adds strength and durability, reducing the risk of damage during handling and delivery.

This makes them an essential choice for businesses sending legal documents, marketing materials or important paperwork that must remain intact.

Ideal for documents, photos and artwork

These envelopes are widely used for mailing certificates, photographs, brochures and artwork. The rigid structure prevents folding and protects delicate items from pressure or impact during transit. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

They are also suitable for sending magazines, booklets and other flat items that require extra protection compared to standard envelopes.

Strong, durable and easy to use

Board backed envelopes typically feature a paper front with a strong cardboard rear, offering a balance of flexibility and rigidity. Many designs include peel-and-seal closures for quick and secure sealing.

Their durable construction helps ensure contents remain secure, while also providing a professional appearance when sending documents to clients or customers.

Available in multiple sizes and formats

Our range includes board backed envelopes in a variety of sizes, including A4, A5 and smaller formats, making them suitable for different document types. Options include manilla and white finishes, as well as printed and unprinted designs.

Choosing the correct size helps ensure documents fit without folding, providing maximum protection during delivery.

Eco-friendly and recyclable options

Many board backed envelopes are made from paper and cardboard materials that can be recycled, helping reduce environmental impact. Some products are also made from recycled materials, supporting more sustainable packaging choices.
