stuffing envelopes
Assembling bulk mailings
Stuffing envelopes is the repetitive clerical task of inserting materials into envelopes for mailing—folding letters, adding inserts, sealing, and addressing.
The phrase often represents tedious, low-skill work: I spent all afternoon stuffing envelopes for the campaign.
It's also notorious in work-from-home scams that promise easy money for envelope stuffing but deliver nothing legitimate.
