I am wanting to purchase a A2 card size envelope die. I assume they are all pretty much the same, but in case they are not -- is there one company you like their envelope die better?
Thanks!

Not a die, but I use the WRMK Envelope board. You can make any size. And, the back of my MS Scoreboard has an envelope scorer. |

I don't have a die or the WRMK, but if I was to buy one, which I've gotten <this> close to several times over the last couple of years, I would go with the WRMK. It is much more versatile. And that price is great!
I don't "Amazon" any more due to Bozos/Bezos, but I'm going to see if I can find somewhere to do a price match.

Like GiantsFan, I have the WRMK enveloper. It has lines for scoring as well as punches for the corners. Pretty easy to use. They give you a chart for what size paper to begin with for each size envelope. |

I have a stamp market die and a whimsy stamps die. I like them both.

I have this one from The Stamp Market thestampmarket.com/products/rip-strip-envelope-a2?_pos=1&_sid=eee5bf891&_ss=rand I have the WRMK envelope board. I’m not a fan of the die. It’s big and barely fits thru my platinum 6. It also has no cushion for a dimensional card. In my opinion it seems like it was made to fit a single A2 piece of cardstock not an actual dimensional card. I must also note mine is from AliExpress but I don’t think that makes a difference. I love my WRMK envelope board. It’s perfect for making envelopes of various sizes. |

Another fan here of the envelope board. I like it keeps my envelopes fresh without all those indents and lines you can get by running it through a die machine.

I haven't really liked any of the envelope dies I've tried. The really large ones tend to warp or twist easily and necessitate a very large die cutting machine. I do like the envelope board, simply because it does any size of envelope you can dream of, as long as you have a big enough piece of paper. And boxes, on top of that. After you figure out the very basic technique, it's quite fast to make. This site has tools to calculate any custom box or envelope you could ever want. thecraftyowl.co.uk/boxbuster/thecraftyowl.co.uk/EnvelopeExpert/The boxbuster can also make dimensional envelopes for cards that are too thick for a regular envelope option. |
