Anyone who uses a luxurious Microwood envelope for sending out advertising materials will definitely attract a lot of attention! The following are particularly good for writing on these envelopes: Pentel-gel rollerball, ballpoint pen. The following pens should not be used: film pen, Edding permament marker. By the way, the envelopes are so lightweight that when filled with an 80 gram A4 sheet of paper there is still no extra expense for stamps. It should, however, be noted that the weights of the envelopes will vary according to the type of wood they are made of. This can lead to higher postage depending on the letter´s contents.

Please note that postage can be higher depending, of course, on the weight and format of the contents. The minimum and maximum dimensions and weights can be found under www.deutschepost.de.
