Quick verdict
Packing shipping supplies can look interchangeable until the envelope dimensions and box quantity no longer fit the mail you send. Mead #6¾ Security Envelopes make the stronger match for recurring office or home mail, while Envelopes Letter Size #10 are aimed at business correspondence. The decision comes down to dimensions, quantity, and listed price rather than a major difference in closure style.
How to decide
Start with document handling. Mead describes its #6¾ envelopes as suitable for folded letter-size documents, which gives the compact format a defined role in routine correspondence. Next, think about how quickly envelopes are used: a larger box makes more sense for repeat mailings, while a smaller count can suit a more contained mailing task.
Privacy treatment is another shared consideration. Mead lists a security lining, while the #10 envelopes list a Security Pattern Inside and Privacy Protection. Both are white, rectangular paper envelopes with self-seal closures, so neither selection requires choosing between moistened and self-seal formats.

Where Each Envelope Wins
Mead #6¾ Security Envelopes win on quantity. The 500-envelope box is the clear fit when regular correspondence calls for a larger supply kept at an office or home mail station.
Envelopes Letter Size #10 win on dimensions. Their listed 4⅛ x 9½-inch size is larger than Mead's 3⅝ x 6½-inch format, making the #10 choice the better match when that business-envelope footprint is the priority.
Product notes
Mead #6¾ Security Envelopes
Mead #6¾ Security Envelopes have a focused role in a frequently used office or home mail station. The description calls out all-purpose 20 lb white paper envelopes, and the security lining provides a privacy-oriented interior treatment for correspondence. Those construction details are a concrete reason to choose Mead when paper weight and the listed lining matter to your mailing routine. The limitation is the USD 32.52 listed price, which is the higher figure in this head-to-head comparison. Mead also uses a self-seal closure, matching the shared closure format here. Choose the Mead box when its stated paper and security details outweigh beginning with the lower-priced pack.
Envelopes Letter Size #10
Envelopes Letter Size #10 provides the lower listed price at USD 23.23, giving this pack a direct advantage when the initial price is the deciding factor. Its stated Security Pattern Inside and Privacy Protection features add a privacy-focused interior for business correspondence. The 4-inch-by-9.5-inch dimensions are also presented as a #10, no-window business envelope style. Its limitation is quantity: the 120-count pack contains fewer envelopes than Mead's 500-count box. Choose this pack when a smaller planned mailing run and the #10 business-envelope style better fit the task than maintaining a larger envelope reserve.
Final choice by use case
Choose Mead #6¾ Security Envelopes for recurring office or home mail where folded letter-size documents are already part of the routine. Choose Envelopes Letter Size #10 for planned business correspondence when the #10 style is the better fit. In either case, decide based first on document handling, then on how many envelopes you expect to use.
