Leigh McFo I laminate my own envelopes when they’re closed (like this emoji ✉️ lol) and then use an x-acto knife to cut on the line of the opening flap.

I just buy a box of 100 envelopes from the Dollar Tree and I made my own “trackers” that I glue to the front and back of the envelope. My envelopes stay home. I only carry with my grocery and my own personal money.

$3 a piece. I customize them to say whatever the customer wants and I offer the wording in a few different colors and fonts.

Both. I bought some but they use a lot of ink, so I’m going to make them going forward unless I find some I need to have. Lol

I bought sets of Christmas cards after the holidays, the kind meant for gifting money, and used those envelopes. I use an index card inside for tracking, so I can reuse them until they fall apart.
