Documents Enclosed Wallets

What Are Documents Enclosed Wallets?

Documents enclosed wallets, also known as document pouches or document enclosed envelopes, are clear polythene pockets with a self-adhesive backing. They are used to attach shipping documents to the outside of packages so that delivery drivers, warehouse staff and recipients can access invoices, delivery notes and customs paperwork without opening the parcel itself.

They are a standard requirement for business-to-business despatch, international shipping and any operation where paperwork needs to travel with the goods. Using a document enclosed wallet keeps the paperwork protected from rain, dirt and handling damage throughout the delivery process, and ensures that the correct documentation stays with the correct consignment.

Available Sizes

We stock documents enclosed wallets in two sizes, covering the most common document formats used in despatch and logistics:

A5/C5 (229 x 162mm) is the most widely used size. It holds A5 documents or A4 documents folded in half, making it suitable for standard invoices, delivery notes and packing slips. This size is available in both printed and plain options, packed in boxes of 1,000.

A7/C7 (113 x 100mm) is a smaller format designed for compact documents such as address labels, returns slips and short picking notes. This size is available as printed, packed in boxes of 1,000.

Printed vs Plain Document Pouches

Printed documents enclosed wallets have the words “DOCUMENTS ENCLOSED” printed prominently on the front of the pouch. This makes it immediately clear to anyone handling the parcel that paperwork is attached, which is particularly useful in busy warehouse and courier environments where parcels are handled quickly. Printed wallets are the standard choice for most business despatch operations.

Plain documents enclosed wallets are fully clear with no printed text. They are often preferred by businesses that apply their own branded labels or barcodes to the outside of the pouch, or where the wallet needs to be less prominent on the finished parcel. Plain wallets are available in the A5/C5 size.

Common Uses for Document Enclosed Envelopes

Document enclosed envelopes are used across a wide range of industries and despatch operations. E-commerce businesses attach them to parcels to include invoices, returns forms or promotional inserts that need to be accessible without opening the package. Wholesale and distribution operations use them to carry delivery notes, picking lists and proof of delivery paperwork.

International shippers use documents enclosed wallets for customs declarations, commercial invoices and certificates of origin that need to be accessible at border checkpoints. For businesses processing high volumes of orders, using self-adhesive document pouches speeds up the packing process. The peel-and-stick backing means there is no need for tape or separate labelling, and the clear front allows barcode scanning without removing the document.
