C1A 4R4 Envelopes Completed

Peter Rukavina

Once the black dried on the C1A 4R4 envelopes, I added a red layer, with my name:

C1A 4R4 envelopes with red printing

I love the “taking the smallest element and making it the biggest” aspect of this design: the postal code is often a throwaway item added (or not added) to a return address; this flips that, and makes it unavoidable.

My contacts within Canada Post suggest that if you mail a letter addressed simply to “Rukavina C1A 4R4” there’s a good chance it will get delivered; this puts that to the test, at least on the return side.
