Abstract
An envelope has a first end, a second end, and a receiving portion having a front face and a rear face. Each of the front face and the rear face extends between the first end and the second end. A pocket is formed between the front face and the rear face between the first end and the second end. A flap extends from the front face, the flap including an adhesive surface for adhering the flap to the rear face. A fold line defines a boundary between the receiving portion and the flap. A first reinforcing strip extends along the flap above the fold line. A second reinforcing strip, separate from the first reinforcing strip, extends along the rear face below the fold line.
