The #1 coin envelope is the smallest standard size in the coin envelope lineup. At 2 1/4 x 3 1/2 inches, it's built for things that get lost in a drawer the moment they leave their container: a single coin, a loose stamp, a small gemstone, a watch part, a seed sample, a tiny fastener, a SIM card. It holds the item, it closes securely with a short-side gum flap, and the kraft face takes a written or stamped label so you know what's inside without opening it. This version is 28 lb brown kraft, gum flap closure, available blank or with custom printing from Business Envelopes. Free shipping on every order with no minimums.

Coin Envelopes: What the #1 Size Is Used For
The short-side flap is the defining design feature of all coin envelopes. It opens across the narrow dimension of the envelope rather than the long side, which keeps small contents from sliding out during handling, makes items easy to drop in and retrieve without fighting the flap, and keeps the wide face available for labeling. At the #1 size, that compact footprint is specifically suited for single-item storage and cataloging where every envelope holds exactly one thing:
- Individual coins for numismatic collections and estate inventories
- Single stamps, philatelic items, and postal collectibles
- Small gemstones, diamonds, and loose settings at jewelry counters
- Watch parts, small gears, and watchmaker components
- Seeds and botanical specimens for archival or agricultural cataloging
- Tiny hardware fasteners, screws, and repair components
- SIM cards, microchips, and small electronic components
- Single-dose samples at pharmacies and medical facilities
Coin Envelopes Near Me: Why Ordering Direct Ships Faster Than Local
Most local office supply retailers don't stock the #1 coin envelope consistently. The #7 is easier to find on a retail shelf. The #1 gets special-ordered or stocked in small quantities that run out without notice. When you order from us directly, blank stock ships same or next business day from our facility in Monroe, NY. Standard ground shipping covers the contiguous 48 states for free on every order. For most addresses, that's a 2 to 5 business day delivery, which is often faster than waiting for a local special order to come in and faster than driving to a store that may or may not have the #1 size in stock when you get there.
There are no minimums, so you can order exactly what you need without committing to a case quantity you don't have storage for. Bulk pricing applies automatically as quantities increase, so larger orders cost less per unit without any negotiation or account setup required.
