More BREs from JDRF, Helen Keller International

Just when I thought I was caught up on business reply envelopes, a couple more arrived that are worth mentioning here.

The first is a very much oversized BRE distributed in an October 2023 fundraising mailing from JDRF. This envelope has three identical preprinted stamp-sized images of a bluebird. Oddly, the border of the image is offset toward the lower right corner of the white block surrounding it. If these were real stamps, I’d call them poorly centered.

The other BRE arrived in a mailing from Helen Keller International, and bears two different stamp-sized images based on photographs of Helen Keller herself.

The basic designs were previously used on envelopes enclosed in mailings in July 2021 and July 2022; however, I have not seen the left image used with “Helen Keller” printed on it, and the copy of the right image that was previously used had either no wording or had “Helen Keller” printed on two separate lines instead of on a single line.
