New business reply envelopes feature tropical, police designs

It feels like July has been an absolutely jam-packed month for me. Here we are almost into August already, but at last I have time to sit down and write up a couple of business reply envelopes that have recently arrived in the mail.

The first of these items is an envelope enclosed in a fundraising mailing from the American Kidney Fund. It bears four preprinted faux stamp designs depicting flamingos, tropical fish, a sailtboat, and plants.

The other BRE from the National Police Association also has four preprinted faux stamp designs on it, but these naturally feature primarily police- and America-themed images including a bald eagle in front of an American flag.

You probably noticed the designs on the first envelope are exceptionally narrow, while those on the second envelope are more or less square; neither have the same aspect ratios of typical postage stamps. Still, both have simulated perforations, so they’re obviously intended to mimic stamps. Interesting material!
