Choosing a clasp envelope for packing and shipping comes down to a practical tradeoff: keep the envelope more compact for routine papers, or use a larger format that gives oversized contents more room. Both choices are kraft, gummed, clasp-style envelopes in packs of 100, so size and listed price drive the decision.
Quick verdict
Pick the 9 x 12 Kraft Clasp Envelopes when your work centers on letters, receipts, and documents that suit the smaller listed format. At USD 19.97, it is the lower-priced choice.
Choose the 10 x 13 Kraft Clasp Envelopes when magazines, oversized papers, or other larger-than-letter items need to go inside without being folded. Its listed price is USD 25.97, a USD 6 difference from the 9 x 12 option.

Where each envelope wins
The 9 x 12 format wins when a smaller envelope is the better match for the contents. Its description highlights reinforced eyelets and two-prong clasps, alongside tear-, rip-, and crushing-resistant construction. That makes it a focused choice for keeping paper contents enclosed in a compact kraft envelope.
The 10 x 13 format wins on interior room. It is described for receipts, letters, documents, magazines, and larger papers, with space for items bigger than letter size without folding. Select it when preserving a document's flat format matters more than using the smaller envelope size.
Product notes
9 x 12 Kraft Clasp Envelopes
The 9 x 12 Kraft Clasp Envelopes are the direct choice for shoppers who want the lower listed price of USD 19.97 while still getting a 28 lb kraft mailing envelope with both a gummed flap and clasp closure. Reinforced eyelets and two-prong clasps are specifically called out, giving this option a clear closure-focused reason to choose it for papers that will be mailed or stored. The brown kraft format also keeps the selection straightforward for everyday business documents. Its limitation is equally clear: this is the smaller of the two listed formats, so it is not the better match when the goal is to place larger papers or magazines inside without folding.
10 x 13 Kraft Clasp Envelopes
Choose the 10 x 13 Kraft Clasp Envelopes when the contents need more room than the smaller envelope format offers. The description specifically positions this size for oversized papers, magazines, letters, receipts, and documents, including items that are larger than letter size. Like the alternative, it uses 28 lb kraft paper with a gummed closure and clasp design, so the larger dimensions-not a change in basic envelope style-are the main reason to move up. The tradeoff is the USD 25.97 listed price, which is USD 6 higher than the 9 x 12 choice. This option makes the most sense when keeping larger contents flat is the priority.
Final choice by use case
For routine document mailing or storage in the more compact format, choose the 9 x 12 Kraft Clasp Envelopes. For magazines, oversized paperwork, or larger-than-letter contents that should remain unfolded, choose the 10 x 13 Kraft Clasp Envelopes. Since both share the same pack quantity, kraft weight, gummed flap, and clasp closure, the decision is primarily about the space your contents require and whether that added room is worth the higher listed price.
