[Dx-qsl] Envelopes

Thu Jan 12 12:42:33 EST 2012

I have not been able to locate any C6 envelopes at any of the large 
retail office supply stores here in the US (Stables, Office Depot, 
etc.). That is why I use Bill Plum's nested European envelopes. The 
inner return envelope is a C6 (16 x 11.5 cm) and the outer envelope is 
just large enough (16.5 x 12 cm) to hold the C6 inside. I guess that's 
why he calls them "European" envelopes. He says his envelopes are made 
in the USA, so I guess -someone- over here is making them.
