Question
What is the difference between a peel and seal envelope and a simple seal envelope?
Answer
First the similarity: both peel-and-seal and simple-seal are self-seal envelopes, so neither needs water to close. The difference is how the seal works.
| Type | How it seals |
| Peel and seal | Adhesive sits under a protective strip you peel off, then press the flap down |
| Simple seal | Two cohesive flaps stick only to each other on contact, with no strip to remove |
- Peel and seal gives a very strong, permanent bond.
- Simple seal is quicker since there is nothing to peel first.
