Envelopes in a changing world

Digitalisation and ecommerce are changing how we live and work. Climate change challenges our way of doing things. The envelopes and paper packaging industry is also changing and adapting. We are seeing both decline and growth. As the market for traditional envelopes falls, the demand for innovative and sustainable packaging solutions is growing fast.

A reinvented industry with a strong future​

The volume of envelope manufacturing has halved in the last decade. As one business declines, others take its place.

And as our members’ business changes, so too do our activities. FEPE is expanding its focus beyond only envelopes, to reflect the opportunities.

Information access for all citizens

FEPE promotes the continued, appropriate use of paper and mail, and citizens’ right to choose how they receive important information.

For some people, the digital world is not yet accessible. For others, it isn’t affordable. Others don’t have the necessary digital skills.

Beyond envelopes: light and ecommerce packaging

The surge in ecommerce is a fantastic opportunity for the envelope industry.

It creates a big demand for light packaging and envelopes suitable for carrying small items, for delivery directly into mailboxes. The convenience of ecommerce and postal delivery all in one.
