Ive seen this link plastered all over the place for free Tyvek from the usps.com store.
USPS
Are those the DuPont 100% Tyvek ones or the 75% Tyvek 25% Recycled paper ones?

Those are the 75% ones. You want the priorety mail ones The 75% ones say it in the same place but say 75% tyvek 25% recycled paper.

So do they send those out free on the usps store or no? Do I have to jump my local Postal office?

What percentage of airborne contams does Tyvek catch as opposed to a Lab filter you can order with one of the sponsors?

Okay, the envelopes that they sent me arent persay "priority mail", their Express. They say DuPont Tyvek like the ones in Magashs' pic. But nowhere on it does it say if its just partial tyvek or not. Any suggestions????......On an after thought. How often should one change the paper on terranium????

If it just says Tyvek, it's all tyvek. I've also got priority mail envelopes -- they're fine. %)

The same amount, given that they're generally both just sheets of tyvek.

Why would you want to use it on a terrarium? I just use mine on jars
