Tyvek is also used in some envelopes, the white kind that don't tear. So if you work somewhere that uses that type of envelope, often you can get them before they are thrown away to use. Just use the inside white parts. They can be painted etc. There are all kinds of new man made materials that work well with the heating techniques.

They also use it for covering houses here so you can buy huge rolls of it at home stores.

These huge rolls - does one do oversized origami to make an enormous no-tear envelope, pop one's house into it - and presto - no need for removal men, just pop it in the post?
Mmmmm???, - Post boxes are quite small, so................. to be continued perhaps!

LOL! I think they just staple it on to the outside - some kind of moisture barrier or somesuch.
