Leeds, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/11/2015 -- Recent news has seen the increased publicising of prolific handwritten letters – including the rapper Eminem's letter to the mother of the late rapper Tupac Shakur. Eminem, which is the stage name of Marshall Bruce Mathers III, apparently took to letter writing to express the intensity of his feelings regarding how Tupac inspired him and the significance of his music.

This emphasizes the importance and gravitas of a handwritten letter, with the example written by Eminem, now on display. The recent publicity of the piece highlights the significance of sending handwritten documents even in the age of the internet. This importance is emphasized in that the sending of handwritten mail still continues amongst businesses and from the public to politicians, when intended to communicate a significant issue. For example, politicians and icons are known to receive a number of handwritten letters imploring them to take action in a certain field. That this practice continues highlights that in the British culture, the writing, and sending of documents is still powerful. Handwritten and hand-signed letters often deliver a great sense of credibility.

About Discount Envelopes
The continuance of prolific letter writing has excited much comment, especially from businesses involved such as Discount Envelopes Ltd. They are a prime example of an envelope and stationery provider – offering an array of designs and sizes at highly accessible prices.

They are also frequent commentators on related news:

"We celebrate the sending of letters and recognise the profound and touching impact Eminem had in writing a letter in regarding one of his idols," A spokesperson said "Letters and personal post can make a significant impact and forge relationships – both personally and in business. In turn, it matters that you have all the measures in place to send them, and that is why we offer an array of envelopes in an extensive selection of colours and designs. This means that people can continue to communicate meaningfully and make an impact, showing that the power of the letter still exists despite the internet."

Leeds, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/17/2015 -- At a recent conference on social media marketing in the Philippines, one company surprised everyone by calling for the return of the nostalgic pen and paper. The conference brought together leaders from around the world in all areas of media marketing and included businesses in fields as diverse as stationery, pens and other supplies. Many have lamented the decline in reading and writing in the traditional manner whilst the digital age accelerates at an ever more rapid speed. The platform where the idea was presented and its audience, appreciated the gesture.

Writing with traditional pens and paper is considered beneficial for a number of reasons including an improvement in handwriting, and reading skills. Penmanship is also considered an art by many, with some experts stating that the teaching of effective handwriting helps children connect better with the world of language. The traditional writing of letters has been largely replaced by the paperless system of computers and systems. But hard documents are just as important if not more so than digital versions, especially as can incorporate signatures and personal details in an expected format. This is why sales of envelopes continue to rise despite the digital revolution.

About Discount Envelopes
Discount Envelopes are leading suppliers of envelopes for professional and personal purchase and have had a long established reputation in the field. With their zeal for providing excellent quality envelopes, they take pride in regularly commenting on industry news. A spokesperson had this to say, 'We welcome the invitation to return to pen and paper. Many people feel they have lost touch with the old ways of communicating and there is something very cold and detached about using electronic means to send letters and write to each other, particularly if it is to loved ones. The luxury of a hard copy of a letter or a card is that you can always look back on it with fondness. And like the conference said, it is always great for enhancing your reading and writing skills. There is something very sensual about paper in this sense. We invite anyone who is interested to contact us to discuss their options, as we are always enthusiastic about helping people find the right solution for them.'

Leeds, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/17/2015 -- Albert Einstein, one of the most celebrated geniuses of our time spent a considerable amount of time writing letters to his loved ones, and others. Now these letters are to be put up for auction. The collection of 27 letters is estimated to fetch a price in the range of $500,000 to $1 million. Einstein is renowned for winning the Nobel Prize for Physics and unveiling the theory of relativity for the public. But he is also equally famous for his sayings and wisdom which will undoubtedly be present in the collection.

The news comes in the midst of uneasy economic times, where many have turned to handmade gestures of appreciation like letters and cards, as opposed to the more expensive method of purchasing from stores. And with this generation's fascination with fame, it could lead others to seek to be remembered through their words in handwritten letters like the famous scientist, in order to leave a legacy behind. In an age of electronic communications such as text messages, digital messaging services and social media, there are some who crave a return to the nostalgic past. But letters are also demonstrating their potential for future use, with many perceiving them as a novelty or a luxury.

Leeds, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/15/2015 -- Following the role of postal votes in the General Election, it is important to consider the position of an integral feature of this system – envelopes. Recent reports from the CWaC have included admissions that over 300 people from the UK have contacted them saying their postal vote had not arrived in time. The process of postal voting, where the vote is cast by the individual at home and then sent away in a sealed envelope, is a key provision of the electoral system.

To focus on the area of envelopes in this light, ultimately emphasizes what an important feature they serve. An envelope ultimately allows some extent of confidentiality as well as containment –and thus this news from the general election is ultimately a reflection that efficiency is needed in their use. In response to the apparent mismanagement of postal vote envelopes, many businesses reacted by showing their efficiency through sending post – and indicating that they can do so well.

About Discount Envelopes
Discount Envelopes are a key business involved in providing envelope and stationery goods and are frequent commentators on industry news. They were quick to reflect on the report from the general election and to comment on its implications for business.

"Many people will be disappointed at what appears to be the mismanagement of the postal vote system in some places this year," a spokesperson said "However, what can be seen in response are a number of companies actually choosing to prove themselves through the challenge of the ending of hard documents, illustrating that they can be efficient. The sending and corresponding of post well, is an essential system for business efficiency which should not be overlooked even in the age of email. As in the case of political systems, hard documents matter, and in turn, so does the equipment you need to do this. That is why we strive to provide envelopes efficiently, in bulk and in an array of co-ordinated designs to ensure that businesses can perform well.

We want to help businesses avoid the negative implications of the postal system, and having quality envelopes in place is surely a step in the right direction."

Leeds, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/15/2015 -- Reports regarding the arrival of two identical election envelopes at certain addresses has led to extensive confusion in some areas of England. Whilst one envelope contained ballot papers for district council elections and the general election, the other contained papers and information, regarding town council elections. Thus the contents of both envelopes are important, but their identical nature has led to some being torn up or even disposed of in the belief that they are duplicates rather than separate documents. The issue of identical envelopes is estimated to be affecting those in the Newbury and Thatham areas – up to 7,000 postal voters.

The issue has aided therefore the potential destruction of valuable voting documents and in turn complicating the process for a number of people. It highlights therefore, the importance of the proper co-ordination of envelopes and how one simple package can impact on audience.

About Discount Envelopes
Discount Envelopes are key manufacturers of envelopes to a variety of trades as well as frequent commentators on industry news. They were quick to comment in light of the recent events.

"What we see in the vase of Newbury and Thatham is the complications which can be caused through the inefficient use of envelopes – and a difficulty which can be avoided," A spokes person told us " The events can be seen as a lesson to learn; the importance of the co-ordination ad differentiation of documents. Envelopes do allow for the potential to do this – for example having different coloured envelopes for different purposes, or even stamped, marked and decorated envelopes in order to differentiate between their contents before sending out.Appropriation of the right documentation is an essential for efficiency in modern society and as an envelope provider, we strive to provide this diversity and decrease complications.

Leeds, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/27/2015 -- One of the UK's best providers of affordable envelopes, Discount Envelopes, have backed calls from the EU Environment commissioner to bring in new legislation to ensure more use of recycled materials.

The European Environment Commissioner has promised the Environment Public Health and Food Safety Committee that more will be done to increase recycled materials in EU supply chains, adding further detail to circular economy proposals set to take effect towards the end of the year.

He said that he wants to strive for an economy in which products are designed and manufactured in such a way as to encourage more efficient and affordable recycling, promoting the use of said materials and lowering the environmental impact of the EU supply chain. New recycling targets are set to be put forward before 2015.

Discount Envelopes, a provider of envelopes in the UK, responded to the news by celebrating the vision of the Environment Commissioner and reaffirming their own commitment to minimising environmental harm and promoting recycling.

A representative for the company said: "We're big supporters of recycling and believe that it's our duty as one of the country's leading providers of envelopes to support said initiatives. As a company, we make sure that all of the discount envelopes we seller are sourced only from sustainable forests, minimising environmental harm and preventing best practices for a greener and brighter world.

"If the EU can improve the supply chain and make it easier for businesses to take full advantage of recycled materials, whether it be paper or any other material, then that will have beneficial and far reaching implications for the economy and the environment."

Karmenu Vella, European Environment Commissioner, said: "We will present a new legislative proposal on waste targets. Rest assured, the new proposals will keep the EU's vision on the waste hierarchy and increasing recycling targets

"But we will also close the circle. We will look at how products are created before they become waste…We will look at how recycled material is introduced into the supply chain."
