boríték

Boríték is the Hungarian word for envelope. It refers to a common packaging item used for sending letters, documents, or other flat items through postal services. Borítékok are typically made from paper and come in various sizes, shapes, and colors to suit different purposes. The most common type is the rectangular boríték, often with a gummed flap for sealing.

The primary function of a boríték is to protect its contents during transit and to provide a surface for addresses, stamps, and other postal markings. They are essential for personal correspondence, business communication, and the delivery of official documents. In Hungary, as elsewhere, the use of borítékok is a fundamental part of the postal system.

Borítékok can be plain white or come in a wide array of colors and designs. Some are specifically designed for security, featuring opaque interiors to prevent information from being seen through the paper. Others may be padded for added protection of delicate items. The choice of boríték often depends on the nature of the item being sent and the desired presentation. The term "boríték" is universally understood in Hungarian for this everyday item.
