Kjellstrom,

Are you looking for envelopes in the style of the envelopes used for "Black Envelope", or, are you looking for the small manila "pay envelope" style of envelopes that open from the top? In either event, I would suggest that you check with some stationers or some office supply stores (like Office Depot). Another option is to check with some printers and priniting supply companies. These firms print a lot of wedding invitations and graduation invitations and they can get lots of odd sized envelopes in bulk (i.e., boxed of 500/box).

Hope this helps.

Mike

P.S. If it is a question of you not being able to find these in Sweden, let me know and let me know what you are interested in, and I'll do some research for you.

Kjellstrom,

A Great source for envelopes is a watch parts and/or jewelry supply house.
They have all sorts of different size envelopes like 'coin envelopes' (perfect for a card) or blank 'job envelopes'. You can buy entire lots of them usually at wholesale prices.

One other thing. They also have small envelopes and tiny zip lock type bags used for parts. They are the perfect size to keep gaffed coins seperated and neatly in a case.

There are several to choose from, Cas-Ker and J. Borel are two in the U.S. that quickly come to mind.

Office Max sells a "pay envelope" that is about the right size - I think its 3 x 4 inches which is about right unless you need a tighter fit. If you need some they had them about a month ago at the Office Max in my Tennessee hometown. I think they came 500 to a carton though. Maybe this will help. I don't mind picking up a box and shiopping them to you if you need them.

Hi,
I just posted this (may be it helps...):
Hi,
I think it would be a great idea if U.S.-Dealers would offer manila coin envelopes special for us magicians in "old Europe" as it is almost impossible to get them in Europe. I know U.S.-Magicians can get them very cheap at staples or officemax, but they don't send outside the U.S. Even when we know the prices at staples a.s.o. I think many of us would accept to pay more as it is understandable your business. But it would be still nice to get them in bigger quantities (like 500). In Germany there are dealers selling 10 envelopes for appr. $ 4,00 what is ridicolous. As I know by reading the magic Café there would be a lot of us ordering from you and may be not only that...
Regards

I know this is a very old thread, but I'm currently running into the same problem (Germany). Does anyone know any dealer for envelopes in Europe? Currently I use some from amazon.de - but the flaps are very tiny, which makes everything a bit hard.
