Wafer sealing & glue-tac · questions
What people ask first.
Both keep a folded piece closed. A wafer seal is a small adhesive tab over the open edge; a glue tack is a spot of glue applied as the piece folds. Postal rules for the piece's size and fold decide which, and how many. Tell us how it mails and we'll advise.
Yes. Send them folded and we'll seal them, or send them flat and we'll fold and seal in one job.
