Abstract: Flattened, padded, envelopes for dispatch packages, comprising a rectangular inner paper liner and a rectangular outer paper sheet and a rectangular thin layer of macerated paper positioned therebetween. The rectangular, macerated paper layer is of such a size that the edges thereof lie away from the edges of the inner paper liner and the outer paper sheet. The edges of the inner paper liner and the outer paper sheet are affixed together in a non-folded manner. The inner paper liner, the outer paper sheet and the macerated layer of paper are folded so as to form the rectangular envelope having a chamber for shipping material. The envelope has a front wall and a back wall. The two ends of the envelope are shorter than the top of the envelope. Each of the ends of the envelope are formed by the ends of the facing front wall and back wall of the envelope, which are affixed together in a non-folded manner. The front wall of the envelope extends beyond the back wall of the envelope so as to form a top flap.
