Executable envelopes refers to a diverse class of files that use a standard executable format, but which were generated in a formulaic way from some original file (which may or may not have itself been executable). They usually consist of a boilerplate decoder section, plus a payload section that could potentially be extracted to a standard format.

Executable compression
Refer to Executable compression.
Some executable compression utilities can also do executable obfuscation, encryption and password protection, expiration, etc.
Self-extracting archives
Most self-extracting archive formats are covered (or would be covered) in the article for the corresponding Archiving format.
A few are listed at Archiving#Self-extracting archives, especially if they have their own article.
Self-extracting installers
Self-extracting installer formats are listed at Archiving#Program/App/Applet/Installer specialized archive formats, along with other formats.
Executable documents
(A document in some known format, combined with a viewer for that format.)
Most such formats are covered (or would be covered) in the article for the corresponding document format. There are probably a lot of old self-displaying raster graphics formats of this type, e.g. self-running FLI, but they are rarely documented specially.
