It isn't always put into paper bags/envelopes. They are only put into paper bags/envelopes if the sample needs to dry or avoid degredation for rotting. For instance a pair of blood stained jeans, they would be placed in a paper bag so that there is a bit of air flow and the jeans will then not rot.
