I miss Paper Zone - need A2 white envelopes

[PJBstamper2]

Now that I’m making cards again, I need more A2 envelopes. I remember taking my card stock to the Paper Zone store so I could find the closest envelopes to the SU! Whisper White, Confetti White, and Naturals White. I still have enough to make it thru my remaining supply of the discontinued Naturals White card stick. However, I need some for my cards made with Whisper White. I know SU! sells envelopes, I’m just hoping someone knows of a brand and name of the color (cause white isn’talways the same) that’s sold in retail stores to save me the cost of shipping. If not, an online source with a better price and/or free shipping. Thanks

You might try a website called PaperPaper, they will send you samples of the cardstock and the envelopes.  I had used cardstock from Impress, but they discontinued it.   After receiving my samples, discovered it matched their Neenah Solar White 80 lb cardstock.  Envelopes matches.  I do have to cut my own cards, but it is so much more affordable than buying them cut and folded.  Best paper for Alcohol markers.  Good luck.

The Paper Cut might have something. Very nice family owned business - you might give them a call. They have some unique items too, lots of precuts for slimline, gatefold and other shaped cards, unusual shapes, kits, etc. I just have a cream cardstock I like a lot but an LSS (now out of business) always carried their paper and I’d buy something from their booth each year at Stamp & SB Expos. Not being a big SU buyer, I don’t have specific info though.

I buy in bulk from Heinrich Envelope.  They sell 1000 white A2 for 24.18.  With shipping and tax to me in MA it comes to $47.12.  Contrast that with other companies to see how fab they are!!!

I figured out a work-around solution. I went to staples and got a box of 100 envelopes and used those for 25+ cards I donated to a couple of places. That way, I got the cards mailed out without waiting for an order of envelopes. I also ordered some of the Neenah Classic Crest card stock mentioned in another thread and some envelopes that go with it. I probably paid more per envelope than the SU! Whisper White, but I got a pretty good deal on the card stock. So, I’m set for quite a while. Thanks for the suggestions!!
