DHL introduces reusable return envelope

Posted by | Jul 16, 2007 | |

DHL , has introduced an environmentally friendly reusable envelope for customers that ship and return legal-size documents. The new envelope provides businesses with a quick, simple and eco-friendly return solution.

DHL’s reusable legal envelope can be filled with up to 8 oz of material, and has a built-in closure mechanism that allows it to be re-sealed and used twice. Business shippers requiring a signed or completed legal contract or application by another party can now reduce materials and waste by using a reusable shipping envelope. The envelope also features two separate “tear off” strips and associated “glue strips” so users can be assured the package contents are secure for two trips.

The new reusable envelope may be used with DHL’s return labeling solutions — shippers can create and include the return label in the outbound shipment. These preprinted return labels or “EZ Return” labels can be ordered directly from DHL or created from DHL’s EasyShip® system. The receiver of the shipment may also reuse the envelope with a standard DHL waybill.
