It would seem that you can forget about a regular letter put in an envelope with a window (or without it) forever. But life practice shows that this type of communication is too early to be discounted. Business and personal correspondence, sending documents can not do without an old good paper envelope.

History

A specific envelope for transferring securities is the definition of an envelope. His appearance at the end of the nineteenth century, mankind is obliged to the English merchant paper from Brighton - Mr. Brever. Romantic legend says that "clothes" for writing appeared because of the urgent need of some windy individuals to hide from their husbands correspondence with lovers.

An envelope with a window for postal transports appeared much later. There are holes in the form of a rectangle with rounded corners, but a rigorous geometric figure looks more aesthetically pleasing.

Varieties of products

All packages are divided into groups according to several basic characteristics:

• By purpose:

• Sealing option:
• The front side - an envelope with or without a window;

It is interesting

The study of ancient cultures opened a curious fact. It turns out back in the third millennium BC, people were concerned about the preservation of the secrecy of correspondence. Resourceful Assyrians thought of putting on top of the main text on the clay tablet another layer of clay, on it they wrote the name of the recipient. Then the plate was re-fired, and it turned out a peculiar cover. The recipient broke it and could read only the addressed message to him.

Beresta in Ancient Russia served instead of paper. Messages were folded, bandaged with a ribbon with the address of the recipient.

And the concept of urgent letters was known back in the eighteenth century. For its designation small woolly feathers were placed under the seal from the wax.

In the nineteenth century, the English used for different days of the week colorful envelopes.

The form of modern postcards was proposed by the German General-Post-Director Heinrich von Stefan. He pointed out the inconvenience of an ordinary letter, not distinguished by simplicity and brevity. It was from his submission in 1869 that the first postcards appeared.

Envelope with a window was invented, probably, someone is lazy. To write an infinite number of addresses when dispatching promotional products is a boring occupation. In addition to saving time, errors are eliminated and errors in the attachment - it is simply impossible to confuse the addressee.
