r/SecurityEnvelopes

S/O u/Linnskie for the reminder! Made these for my street’s trinket trade box.

Look what I got today.

Hello all, joined up a few months ago and am finally getting around to posting. I have a badge maker, and I like to reuse/upcycle materials, so a few years ago I started to make badges using security envelopes. Eventually I also turned these into fridge magnets, and keyrings.

Here's a wee photo of some of the first ones I made.

The collection keeps growing! I’ve marked international ones. Think I need to categorize. 100+

Chicago-based admin professional checking in 👋😄 A lot of mail crosses my desk everyday at work and I can’t help but hang onto the fun envelopes. I’ve got more on my hands than I know what to do with and would love to share! Comment below something you’re looking forward to doing this summer and I’ll draw someone at random on Friday at 8pm CT to ship the patterns to. Open worldwide, no shipping expense or trade needed on your part.

I tried to take hd pics so u can zoom and see the different patterns!! lmk if u want any or wanna trade

Neato pattern today is kangaroos! 🦘

Here’s a box from eBay today. I searched for “stamps on paper” and look through the pics to see if there’s any patterns in the mix. Then when I get the box full, it’s like a treasure hunt 😆

I’m putting together packets from my collection, dm if you want to trade!

The third image was on the inside of a greeting card :)

Just packed up our mail-in (drop off) primary ballots and discovered that we failed to include the new optional security sleeves. I would have kept them anyway :)

I am making bundles of assorted envelope swatches. They are about credit-card sized; roughly 2 inches by 3. Some bundles may have a few pieces that are slightly different sizes. Each card has a bundle of 12 assorted different patterns. I currently can send out 3. Wanna trade? :)

Hello everyone! I stumbled on this subreddit and was truly captivated and thought I’d start collecting.

At work I asked my favorite administrative assistant (who already thinks I’m weird) to save the security envelopes she gets - and this was from this week’s stack!

I honestly feel like I cheated having such a wide variety already but I am AMPED!

I found the perfect trading card binder to store them in and can post a pic of that when it’s finished.

Looking forward to collecting more!

Getting ready to make the next editon of my security swatch series. I make them in batches and each portfolio includes 6 different patterns. Anyone interested?

I'll be making them at the end of next week so the earliest they will ship is June 12th. I'm happy to include extra pieces of the swatch so you can cut down to your preferred size, just mention that you want scaps included in your package. Thanks!
