Engine Exhaust Envelopes

These D-Bros Tearable Envelopes are "Fume-tastic"

— July 30, 2011 — Unique
Anyone who still appreciates the messaging method of snail mail will love these D-Bros tearable envelopes.

The designers at D-Bros are stationery masters, constantly creating unique and strange papers and packages. These D-Bros tearable envelopes are no exception -- you've definitely never seen anything like them before. These crafty containers come in a package of three different designs; one features a small freight train and the others an airplane and car. Beside each automobile is a small flap, which the mail recipient is urged to pull. The flap tears the envelope oven, creating a jagged white strip of "exhaust fumes" behind each vehicle.

These D-Bros tearable envelopes will rev up your writing engines!
