Filling an envelope for mail correspondence

For a long time, correspondence in Europe was sent,skillfully folding letters into triangles, which were then stamped with a wax seal. The first envelope was invented by Mr. Brewer, a paper manufacturer from Brighton. He made a pack of simple paper bags and offered them to his clients for free, recommending to send letters to them. The first correspondence sent to them created a furor. The company liked this novelty so much that everyone began to use packages for sending any documents. At first they were glued by themselves, and the filling of the envelope was not normalized by anyone.

Each correspondent wrote an address, as well aswhere he wants. Later, in England, they launched the first machine that manufactures postal envelopes intended for gluing with a wax seal, and only by the end of the XIX century only their valves were glued. At the same time, they began to produce their individual colors for each day of the week. The introduction of a postmark and then stamps entailed more requirements for the design of correspondence. Even then, postal workers began to demand that the envelope be filled in accordance with the general rules for all.

At first, back in Tsarist time, in Russia the postalthe envelope cost only six kopecks. The postman, accepting correspondence, put a stamp on it anywhere. The decisive factor was only the color of the stamp, which depended on the weight of the package, and nobody was interested in the correct filling of the envelope. Only with the introduction of the stamp, the place for the stamp and for its location was determined in the upper right corner.

As in those days, and now, at the speedthe delivery was greatly influenced by the quality filling of the envelope. Emails sent in correctly designed packages always reach faster. Unlike e-mail, material correspondence is much more valued. This is a thing that can be preserved for long memory, therefore, mail envelopes today not only do not lose their relevance, but also occupy an extensive segment in the printing industry. Today, a lot of software has been developed that allows you to quickly and efficiently process correspondence using a computer. But if you do it manually, then you need to adhere to the general rules agreed in the international format.
