Postal history! What are Commercial Mail Covers? In the wider sense, it can be defined as postal history.

Simply, they are items of mail, whether they be an envelope, parcel, box or wrapper that has been sent through the postal system. A cover has all the information that cannot be garnered from a postage stamp alone, such as the date it was sent, who it was sent to and possibly who sent it. It can also contain the original contents giving us an insight into past events in our lives.
