Envelope lining 7

This is the lining of a fairly large envelope posted in the UK in early 2019. It is a simple pattern of blue lines, in a hexagonal shape.

Envelope lining 6

This particular envelope comes from the UK. It came from the same set of materials as "Envelope Lining 5"-- a set of leaflets for the UK Charity Prostate Cancer UK , encouraging donations. This was the envelope the charity provided for donors to send in their donations.

The pattern of this envelope is a "herring-bone" pattern in blue.

Envelope Lining 5

This envelope enclosed promotional materials from Prostate Cancer UK , soliciting for donations. It is a pattern of hexagons, printed in a dull grey. Like the previous examples featured here, the pattern is printed onto the paper.

This is the lining of an envelope, made by the UK company Tallon. It is a simple pattern of blue, straight lines. The maker's name is printed along the pattern

Envelope lining 3

This example of an envelope lining is somewhat different from the previous examples; Its pattern does not appear to be composed of wiggly lines, but rather of a form of repeat pattern:


Another unusual thing is that the paper appears to be printed from letterpress ( i.e from a process analogous to using a stamp) , as opposed to lithography or offset ( as in the previous envelopes). We may see below the characteristic blobby effect of letterpress, known as "ink squash" ( particularly evident towards the bottom ends of the shapes)

Envelope lining- 2

Here is another lining of a recent envelope, which was sent from the United Kingdom


Much like the previous examples, the pattern used is formed from fine lines. However, the pattern used here appears to be more complicated than the previous examples.

Envelope linings 1

This pattern forms the lining of a recent envelope. The design is a fairly simple ( but finely engraved) pattern of wavy lines, not unlike Guilloche.

The pattern , strictly speaking, is not a separate piece of paper pasted onto the inside of the envelope, but is rather printed directly on the inside of the envelope itself.
As you can see, from the above image, this pattern also comes in a black/grey colour.
This is one of the more common patterns. I have seen at least a dozen envelopes lined with this paper.
