What is a Cloth Envelope?

The cloth envelope is a unique mailer. It's shape is the same as any ordinary envelope and it works in the same manner but that's where the similarities end. Made of 100% cotton, the fabric is specially processed so that it can be folded and glued to form the envelope. It has the touch and feel of cloth but with the functionality of the common envelope. The multitude of beautiful prints available make them stand out from your ordinary mail.

Where did Cloth Envelopes come from?

Cloth Envelopes were invented by entrepreneur Ray Weigel III in Northern Michigan. But the company really came to life when Ray, his wife Micki, and their partners Rose and Jim Scharmen brought Cloth Envelopes to the National Stationery Show in New York City, where the gift, invitation and stationery industries (as well as the press) noticed how unique and beautiful Cloth Envelopes really are.

Here's a brief message from Cloth Envelope creator Ray Weigel.

At a craft fair, my wife and I discovered a few envelopes made of colorful fabrics. They had the appearance of regular envelopes but because they were soft and flimsy cotton, they could not be mailed. We expanded on the idea of a cloth envelope. By stiffening the fabric prior to creating the envelope, we gave it the ability to be mailed. The use of the warm colorful envelopes seemed to make the contents that much more meaningful. Our friends were not only intrigued, but all wanted to know where they could purchase the envelopes.... and the rest is history in the making.

Through the ups and downs of developing this product, we have never lost the original excitement that we felt on that first day at the craft fair. One only has to stop at a fabric store and wander through the isles to see all the beautiful prints available.

We hope that you will feel the same excitement and see the wonderful possibilities that this unique envelope can bring. It's not just an envelope, but an envelope that begs to be opened. It's been an enjoyable experience for us and we hope it will be one for you.
