Looking for advise if possible. As I have started selling on eBay I require more envelopes to put the programmes in. C5 seem adequate for most older programmes. I notice they are 70 or 90 grammes. Are 70 grammes lesser quality??
Also can anyone recommend a good quality seller on eBay for envelopes in all sizes please |

The difference between 70gm & 90gm is only the thickness of the paper used in the envelope and not the quality Hibernian.
Obviously the 90gm would be minimally thicker, but not really noticeable unless you were in the print trade (as I used to be)
There are plenty of deals on Ebay for value for money, and I keep changing my providers. |

I've been selling on eBay for 16 years and have never bought a board-backed or a jiffy envelope.
I'm one of those cheeky buggers who recycle the envelopes my own stuff arrives in.
(It does help to keep P+P charges to a minimum though - or even to offer free postage when Royal Mail forget to frank the stamps on the stuff I buy!!)
Mind you I'm only an occasional seller of bits & bobs, if I were selling in any kind of bulk I'd have to buy my own. _________________ NEWPORT COUNTY & GENERAL FOOTY BADGES:

Thanks for the replies guys
There are obviously too many on eBay but I noticed for 500 Viking are either £20 or £13.50 ( through Office Depot) for the same envelope apart from one is white and the other Manilla !!!!
Megabrokers start at £10 or £11 for 500 which appears really cheap. These are 70 grms
Probably worth a punt with megabrokers.
I've not even looked at A4 yet.

Megabrokers are pretty good value Hibernian, but make sure you fully read the listing as some of their lower priced stuff has "lost it's sticky" etc.
Not a problem as they always state the faults, but be aware when you look in case they fall in that category. |
