Concerning the distribution of leaflets and other printed material.
I looked in my Van Dale, but only found the noun "couvert".
Does the verb "couverteren" exist and if so, what does it mean?
Ta!

envelope stuffing
in line with the previous answer, if your context indicates that this is being done on a large scale, then it's 'envelope stuffing'. If it's just a single letter, then it's just 'putting it into an envelope'.

To produce ready-made envelopes (inc. contents)
I think this is along the lines of all those 'to the householder' envelopes, which come ready-stuffed and are mass-distributed. The Van Dale monolingual gives the term for a 'couverteermachine'.
