WESTERN STATES ENVELOPE CO

Western States Envelope Co. specializes in the manufacturing of high-volume paper products and stationery items for federal government use, with deep expertise in producing secure, durable paper stocks and custom envelopes tailored to law enforcement and justice agency requirements. Their technical capabilities encompass paper mill operations, including pulping, calendaring, and sheet forming for non-newsprint paper grades, as well as precision die-cutting, folding, and gluing processes for envelope production. The company demonstrates consistent proficiency in meeting stringent federal specifications for paper weight, opacity, and security features, ensuring compatibility with high-speed mailing, filing, and evidence-handling systems used in criminal justice environments. The Department of Justice is their predominant federal partner, consistently awarding contracts for bulk paper supplies and specialized envelopes used in court documentation, inmate correspondence, and evidence packaging. This sustained relationship indicates a trusted position within DOJ’s supply chain for mission-critical paper goods that support operational continuity across U.S. Attorneys’ offices, federal prisons, and investigative divisions. Their primary industry focus lies in NAICS 322121 (Paper Except Newsprint Mills) and 322230 (Stationery Product Manufacturing), positioning them as a niche supplier of regulated, non-consumer-grade paper and envelope products. They serve the government’s need for compliant, bulk-quantity paper goods that meet Federal Specification GG-P-710 and other standardized requirements for durability and archival quality. As a small business structured as a 2L entity based in Butler, Wisconsin, Western States Envelope Co. operates as a specialized manufacturer without federal certifications such as 8(a), HUBZone, or WOSB. Their geographic footprint is centralized, but their supply chain reaches nationwide through federal logistics channels, serving as a reliable, low-profile vendor for essential paper and stationery needs within the justice and public safety sectors.
