    I use the envelopes to send books to my grandsons and they don't care at my PO how many books I put in and if I tape it shut it's okay. They need to be taped. We used them where I used to work and they will pop open if you don't tape them well.

    Now, Flat Rate BOXES also say you may reinforce the tabs and flaps, I've never seen anything about reinforcing the bottom flap on the FRE. Never had one bust, but it *is* a sealed opening, you know?
