The term ‘letter opener’ used to merely refer to a knife-like object used to open envelopes but that certainly is not the case today. The term can also be used today for a range of letter opening machines and these are really clever systems, some capable of opening thousands and thousands of envelopes every hour.

Many businesses rely heavily on mail and the sooner it’s opened the sooner the next stage can begin. You may just be a company that receives many different documents and every second is an important second in a business, so if these letters are already opened and ready to read or organise, than a great deal of time can be saved.

You also don’t have to worry about the contents being cut or damaged and no matter what size the envelopes are, a clean envelope cut can leave a soft feathered opening, giving easy access to content.
