Envelope stuffers simply insert contents into envelopes and sometimes address the envelope. Before envelop-stuffing machines were invented, people were employed especially to do this task in bulk quantities. The envelopes had to be stamped, verified for each address, stuffed with insertions and sealed. It is a mechanical job and has now been automated to a large extent.

We get to see a number of advertisements in newspapers and on the Internet, widely publicizing the need for persons who can stuff envelopes. It is advertised, often, that a person can make upwards of $5000 a month from home doing this. Unfortunately, most of these job offers are trying to dupe people who are new to this concept and not aware of scams that are prevalent. Most of the people, who have recently started searching for work, get caught in the trap and end up paying money for registration and or more information. Later they find out it is not a genuine work offer. Since it is very difficult to distinguish real employers from the scam artists, it is better to contact the mailing houses directly if you are interested in stuffing envelopes.

Today, most envelope stuffing is done by machine - manually stuffing envelopes is limited to specialty envelopes machinery may not be able to handle. The automated system inserts, folds, seals and stamps the envelopes at an astonishing speed of around 5,000 envelopes per hour. Even address labels can be put on with the help of machines.

If you are interested in stuffing envelopes, contact the mailing houses or the companies directly to avoid getting cheated in a scam.
