as for hand-written envelops - there are things called (desktop) printers. They take things called labels.

just a few things.
Very true. Paper checks from a non-US bank deposited into a US account are often held for 10 days or more and usually require collection fees of $25 or more per check. US paper checks deposited into a non-US bank account meet the same fate -- a long time to clear, a hefty fee to deposit, and then usually receive a less-than-optimum currency exchange rate.

Be careful with signature stamps or "chops". Those should be protected from theft or abuse by non-authorized signers.
