I AM NO LONGER SELLING USA MADE GLASSINES.
Sorry about this, but as I type this, in September 2021,
the USD rate has RISEN in value about 10% against the
AUD, in just the past 6 months, from 80c to 72c. And
the base price in USD has also risen. A perfect storm.
And there are numerous sizes offered there now, some
with flaps on short side, and some with flaps on long
side, so I am always asked for sizes and types
not stocked! Those factors, plus the huge new shipping
costs of goods ex USA due to COVID, and the long delays,
makes it simply unrealistic/uneconomic to offer these
any more. |
EXCHANGE RATE ADJUSTMENT ON THESE ITEMS BELOW: The current Corona Viris panic, and stockmarket and currency market uncertainty, has seen the Australian Dollar soften and fluctuate wildly. Due to COVID, there have been no incoming commercial flights to Australia for nearly a year, so cost of air shipping has also rocketed up, as DHL is now needed. My landed cost of anything imported has also SOARED since, of course. All lots on this page, being fully imported, will thus be invoiced at 10% higher than the old AUD prices shown. With supplier base price hikes as well, I still am making WAY less than I was pre-COVID, even at that level. We live in scary times. LUCKILY, Stamps is a solitary INDOOR hobby basically, and we are thus the LEAST likely to catch COVID! With all commercial flights being cancelled, most shipping from Europe to here is taking 16 weeks by sea, not the usual 7 days airpost, unless you pay a fortune for DHL Express etc. I *DO* have stocks.

Quality USA made
Glassine Envelopes at sale Prices!
The best-selling size glassine envelope for stamp
collectors in my 45 year dealer experience, is the
Number 3 size shown here - 2.75’’ x 3.75” inches
(70mm x 95mm.) Local retail for these heavy quality thick grade glassine, American made ones is $A185 per 1000 , the exact same size and brand as I am offering here – even the tiny 44 x 72mm are $A175 a box 1000 as you can see - : https://renniks.com/shop/cenveo-westvaco-glassine-envelope-44x72mm-5stk31-box-of-1000/ |
I'll
sell these to my clients in quantity at a good discount - i.e. $A150 a box of
1000 (larger discounts below).
Prices have obviously crept up in recent times due to the newly weak $A as these
are fully imported from USA, and shipping here is not cheap, and my next
shipment will very likely be way higher priced than these, so buy now, and lock
in today’s current price levels.
With glassines, having many more than you THINK you need will never be a bad idea is my guess! I sell Lighthouse stockbooks by cartons of 10 only. Many folks initally say they only "really" need 5 - but a month later are ordering another carton of 10. See that offer here - 😊
www.glenstephens.com/lighthouse.html All MY envelopes are made from transparent virgin 30 pound weight, heavy grade American Glassine, made in the USA. Manufactured to exact American industry tolerances by the Westvaco/Cenveo brand, with un-gummed flaps, strong seams, and they use special anti-tarnish adhesive, which will not affect stamp contents long term. CAUTION - someone tried to sell me “glassines” made in China, and you could near spit through the cruddy thin junky paper used - it was featherweight. A perfect example of lower price NOT meaning a saving, as they were near useless in my view! Probably made from cheap and highly acidic paper stock too - the mind boggles.
One
chap I know mails his ebay items out in these American glassines, and writes
catalogue number, and ebay lot number, and price on the outside with ball point
pen - as per example shown above.

All postage and shipping and insurance is extra as always. (Postage on more than one box of 1000 within Australia is not much more than one box! i.e. postage on ONE box to Victoria is $18 but FIVE boxes is only $30 to most postcodes!) And on ALL my sendings, I use light cancelled nice STAMPS for franking - often worth when used, more than the cost of the postage! |

Search all my 300+ web pages! Simply type in what you are looking for. "Penny Black", "Latvia", "Imprints", "Morocco", "Fungi" "Year Books", etc! Using quotes ( " ) is more accurate for multi word searches - i.e. "Australian FDC" gives FAR more specific matches than simply Australian FDC if used with no quotes. Search is NOT case sensitive. Tip - keep the search word singular - "Machin" yields far more matches than "Machins" etc. |
