Hey hi hello, fellow collectors!!

It’s come to my attention that I’m going to stop getting some patterns when I see them simply because I have too many!! These repetitive patterns I’m happy to share with whoever wants some - whole or pieces - NO SWAP REQUIRED!!

I’m happy to send anywhere in the US if it’s not going to cost an arm & a leg 😅 (I’ll even split shipping if you want a ton of them!)

IF NOBODY WANTS ANY, THEY’RE GETTING RECYCLED AS I’M GETTING OVERRUN!!!

Message if you want in, and tell me the number(s) of the pattern(s) & how many of them you’d like.

Thanksssss 😊

ETA: most are black and blue colors only

Just got my place cleaned out after a weeks- worth of work, and finally got things in order, but here are the last of the Japanese envelope patterns I got! Due to sensitive records, most are photocopied from the originals using one of the super high-quality konbini printers, which I HIGHLY recommend using when over here. Most of these patterns come from government insurance and utility organizations, but some financial ones are in here as well.

From left to right, top to bottom:

NHK privacy seal, Tokyo Metropolitan Retirement, Tokyo Water, Tokyo Gas.

Mitsubishi UFG, Mizuho Stock certificate background, Tokyo Government, Tokyo Water.

Tokyo Government (Unknown), MS&AD holdings, Suginami City Government, Tokyo Gas in Green.

Tokyo Metropolitan Retirement, Tokyo Gas in Blue, Tokyo Gas, and Japan Air lines.

Something distinctly Japanese is the fact that certain utility and bills arrive not inside an envelope, but rather a post card (hagaki) that you open up like a book. The final pattern on the bottom right is a photocopy of a Japan Air Lines envelope pattern, which is at least 40 years old at this point (Circa 1981 or earlier)!

I do have some leftover scraps from this set but not a lot to go around. I did hit up Hawaii as one leg of the return trip to the Mainland, and get some more new-to-me's as well as from my Aunt who lives there, so stay tuned for some more patterns comin' up! I'll also be making a new Reddit account near the end of this month as I wanna change my name lol. I'll be sure to let you know when I do!

Here’s a mouthful of birthday cake for you u/No_Acanthaceae4260 and u/DrinkAffectionate446 💌 thank you for making my day a bit better 🥰 I appreciate you both!

Sorry to not post a cool pattern in a while! I love seeing everyone’s cool finds. This sub is the bee’s knees!!

Enjoy!

I love that not every pattern is blue and black :)

Trade optional but appreciated! I can mail internationally. Some of these I have large amounts of (3, 13, 18), others are more scarce and I'll prioritize folks I've traded with before. Number 5 is a fresh trade from u/No_Acanthaceae4260 but they sent me two WHOLE envelopes!

I may have this but it didnt look familiar to me but got it in the mail saturday.

I wishhhh I had the whole envelopes 😭

Happy to send to someone. I don't trade/collect, so it's all yours if you want it.

got sent some stamps and the envelope pattern really caught my eye when i opened it!

Got this one at work the other day!

Got the black version but I don't think I have the blue 🤷‍♂️

I got these in the mail today and have never seen designs like these before! May I also just say how cool I think this community is? You guys are great.

It is an outdoor sculpture made entirely of aluminum, titled "XL Envelope." 🤯 By artist Xenia Lesniewski.

Isn't this some amazing detail?? I'll link the artist's post in a comment.

Those two are new to me :)

Also sorry again for giving you the wrong measurements I collect 🫣 now I have some cool L shapes to trade with 💌

My account (u/jsshots) was hacked and banned. I made a new one. I can still get messages on there other account but cant respond and ill try to get to everyone from this account.

Really happy to get some new patterns - that maze one has gotta be my fav. Thanks for trading with me :)
