Reopening a sealed envelope without damaging its contents can be a delicate and crucial task. Whether you’ve accidentally sealed an envelope before inserting the intended contents or need to retrieve a document from a sealed envelope, there are several methods to consider.
One common method involves using steam to loosen the adhesive on the envelope’s flap. Place the sealed envelope over a steaming kettle or hold it near a hot shower for a few minutes. The steam will penetrate the paper and soften the glue, making it easier to open the envelope without tearing it.
