No need to draw attention to yourself, not everyone is as Pro 2A as you might be. Nothing good comes of clear wrappers. Do you honestly think you’re going to turn the mailman into a Parker aficionado because of that clear wrapper?
That’s called shrink wrap packaging . They’ve got rather rapid machines for doing that of this I know from quite a few years in the magazine printing industry all be it twenty years ago . And I’m sure the shrink wrap mailing machines are far better than the ones twenty years ago . However I know of no cost efficient way of stuffing in paper envelopes . It might be a thought to use plastic that’s colored I’ve seen it in blue , white or red if memory serves . But if I’m not mistaken the printing binding run for Parker Pages is maybe 2k printed and bound but maybe 1.7k or so for mailing so in a run that small one cannot expect it to be cost friendly .
