The 10 x 13 Tyvek envelope is the large-format version of the most durable mailing envelope available. Built from DuPont high-density polyethylene fiber through a flash-spinning process, the material has no grain direction and no structural weak points at the corners or edges. It does not absorb moisture, does not soften in humidity, and does not have a tear axis that postal handling equipment or wet weather can exploit. For organizations mailing legal-size documents, thick report packages, architectural drawings, certificates, or any flat-document shipment where the 9 x 12 format doesn't leave enough room, this is the right specification. Available blank and ships same or next day from Business Envelopes. Free shipping on every order with no minimums.
The 9 x 12 Tyvek envelope holds an 8.5 x 11 sheet flat with a quarter inch of clearance on each side. That clearance is adequate for a single document or a thin packet. When the content stack gets thicker, when the document is legal-size at 8.5 x 14 inches, or when the mailing includes a cover letter plus a multi-page attachment and the combined thickness pushes against the 9 x 12 walls, the 10 x 13 is the right format. The interior at 9.75 x 12.25 inches provides a full inch of clearance on each dimension, accommodates legal-size sheets in a single half-fold, and handles thick packets without the envelope body distorting under the content load.
Architecture firms sending rolled or folded drawings, accounting firms routing quarterly audit packages, healthcare systems mailing multi-page patient record requests, and legal practices sending thick client correspondence all use this format as their standard Tyvek spec when the 9 x 12 runs close to capacity. At 14 lb, the Tyvek material itself adds significantly less to the total mailing weight than a 28 lb kraft envelope of comparable size, which matters on per-piece postage costs across a recurring high-volume program.
Buyers searching "gummed tyvek envelopes" are typically looking for a moisture-activated option on a Tyvek format. This envelope uses the Kwik-Tak peel-and-seal system rather than a gummed seal. The distinction matters operationally. A gummed flap on Tyvek requires the same moisture application as a paper envelope, but the polyethylene surface doesn't absorb moisture the way paper does, which can make the gum bond less consistent than on standard kraft. The Kwik-Tak pressure-sensitive adhesive eliminates that issue entirely. Peel the protective liner from the strip, fold the rectangular flap down, press firmly across the full width of the seam. The bond activates on contact at room temperature and holds through the full handling and sorting cycle. For the Tyvek format in all four sizes, browse the complete Tyvek envelope range.
For flat-document mailing that doesn't require Tyvek protection, our 10 x 13 brown kraft clasp envelope covers the same size in 28 lb kraft with a metal clasp and gum flap closure. For larger Tyvek format, the 10 x 15 Tyvek envelope handles oversized documents and thick multi-page submissions. For the most widely ordered Tyvek size in the lineup, see the 9 x 12 Tyvek peel-and-seal. Ships same or next day. Request a bulk quote for volume programs.

I love these for mailing brochure packages out to our clients. They get to their destination looking good and staying intact. I used to use regular envelopes and they would arrive with a tear or worse. Very worth the investment.
