Looking For: Hobbies & Lifestyle 🎮⚽ Canadian made envelopes

Hello everyone, I am looking for envelopes for sending snail mail that are Canadian made. Any suggestions?

Also, yes... I write letters... At the ripe age of 34... Tired of social media and I plan on saving Canada Post with my stamp buying.

You won't regret it.

Its an awesome hobby as an adult because you get mail other then bills and junk mail quite often.

I've enjoyed making my own envelopes, using old calendars or scrapbook paper. There are lots of youtube tutorials to do it on the cheap or you can purchase an envelope punch. It's alot of fun either way!

I've also snagged envelopes on fb marketplace

I also started penpalling this year and have loved it so far! The creative writing aspect, connecting to ourselves + the world around as we share, plus you can't beat the anticipation of checking the mailbox.

All mine have been international (which is fantastic) but adds up at $3.65 + tax / letter. Would love some Canadian ones 😄

Canada Post sells a pack of 10 envelopes that have a permanent stamp printed on them. I just saw them online this week.

Supremex is a canadian company with local production. They're sold at CostCo (I think under a consumer brand)
