I recycle BCSS & MSG ones (because I now live in GOC)
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

The last lot I bought were from a stamp dealer company- sorry can't remember which one. They are about 5cm x 7cm with a flap.

Bought some from Aldbury Products last year, size 4x4, but they do different sizes I think.

Hi Tina,
I've used Bedwyn Stamps, buying 45 x 60 + 10-12mm FLAP. The as invoice I had from them was for 3 x 500 envelopes at £13 for 500, but I see now they are up to £17.50 for 500.

I can’t answer your question, but M de Barmon who runs the ADBLPS seedlist would be a great person to ask. Their envelopes are the best I’ve come across from the consumer point of view.

I am mostly fond with the ones from Mesa Garden. These are stirdy, so the seeds don't get shot out of it unexpected if the paper gets bend a bit like most of the other paper bags. Some paper bags are just too wobbly to be able to easily shake seeds out without a hazard of spilling the seeds.
