I have used manila envelopes in the past but I have found some of the thick manila envelopes can add an ounce or more to the weight so I changed to tyvek.
I agree, tyvek is great.
I got them free at the postoffice! Should have used one when I sent some quilting notions, rulers, cutters and fabrics to a friend in Malta. That time I used one of the padded envelopes. Nothing was in it when it arrived in Malta, torn and empty. I was devastated. Somebody got $300 worth of stuff.
