USPS envelopes at the store?

Question

I'm going to go to the PO tomorrow, and it's been a while. I'm shipping out a small accessory in a small box (length: 2", width: 5", height: 1.5") and I was wondering what is the smallest envelope they have to ship it in?

When I recieved it, it was from Australia and it was sent in a ~5x7" envelope, tyvek, and bubble wrap attached inside. I was wondering is USA Post office has it too? If not what's the smallest size?

Answer 1

Some post offices are better stocked than others, but it sounds like the envelope you're interested in is pretty commonly found.

I was at the post office on Friday and saw envelopes like that and also some that are printed with things like flowers and patterns--extremely pretty.  I was surprised the old USPS had such a festive attitude.  They also have plain boxes, just in case you want to go that route.
