Google Envelopes – concept way of sending mails
- March 31, 2010
- In: Concept|interior design|Paper
Rahul Mahtani & Yofred Moik students from Syracuse University (US) came up with this concept called Google Envelopes that enable you to map the course of mail as if it was a story. Then the envlopes can be sent through G-Mail itself. ONLY a concept so far, but totally will rock our world.

Great idea, however it may make things difficult for automated address readers, like those at sorting offices. Plus, that’s great for if the addresses are geographically Northwest-Southeast of each other … what if the sender is down south, and the recipient is up north? Either the map would need to be rotated, or the addresses would be in a non-standard position.
Cool idea, but I think the postal service would need to initiate this one …

This is a great idea, and I think the underlying idea of having private industry integrated with the USPS could only serve to enhance their service. People have been complaining for years about the lack of innovation. I think this is a good one!

That’s nice, but usable only for those who live quite close to each other…

Since the earth is more or less a sphere, everyone can have the sending address at the top left of the envelope and the receiving address at the lower center. It’s just a matter of scale and rotation. I like it.

A new way of cutting more trees?
We must get rid of all paper form e-mail from our lives.
You can still use the idea as an optional hyper-link below your e-mails. When receiver wants, he can click on it and see it as a .jpeg picture on his PC screen…

I love Cengiz’s idea. If I could I’d send one to my family right now

Very smart idea, this puts ‘the human touch’ back to writing. Receiving an actual mail feels just different from an e-mail. Good to keep the postman hired!

Oh…isn’t this cute…… Gee whizz, you take snail mail and try to bring the 21st century int it?
You go through the trouble to spot-on the recipient….but you, instead, print out the display onto an envelope in-lieu-of just emailing? You’re boosting the sale of more print cartridges.
It’s worth a good laugh. Nothing more.

It is very nice as a concept, but as a real product it uses so much ink. There is no need for all these colors, unless in the future we have an ecological way to make the ink. Yes, there is the paper-problem, but that’s not a big one indeed, as we always can use recycled paper envelopes.
After all of this, that’s a great concept, congratulations for the designers =)

You can tell from some of the comments that some of you have never received a personal letter delivered to you via the postal office. Kind of sad, really.

Don’t be fooled. This was a part of Google’s April Fool’s Day prank. IT’S NOT REAL!

What about going West to East? It would no longer follow the traditional format?

Cool concept .
Physical message sound interesting to me but,
it is still in printed form like a commercial
material.
I still appreciate physical message with handwritting

I think this is a pretty clever concept. The most interesting part is the randomness of how each individual envelope would turn out.

nice concept, but do you know how much ink/printing would cost for that type of production?
Yeah lets speed up the process of ruining earth with more production of paper and ink!

Haha cute but who sends snail mail nowadays if it isn’t a package delivery?

This was a product from MCI back in the 80′s known as MCIMail. The only difference is a Google envelope vs an MCI one.

this would be a cool idea.. but the problem is, instant messaging is much more popular.. and people rarely send mail nowdays.. they just check on an IM to check messages.

Awesome. I’d love to get mail that looked like that.
I might then care about opening mail.

I think it is a wonderful idea that would make people want to use good ole snail mail again. There’s nothing like receiving a letter in the mail and getting to open it.
And tell the hippies to go to hell, the ink and paper would be presumably bought by the sender so it is no business of theirs what I buy with my hard earned money.

Je pense que c’est une merveilleuse idée pour que les gens veulent un bon usage snail mail ole nouveau. Il n’y a rien comme recevoir une lettre à la poste et d’apprendre à l’ouvrir.

What happens if the senders address isn’t to the west of the receiving address?

The envelopes are pretty novel, but seem like a bother.

Brilliant idea by Google to introduce these envelopes. They bring a mailing concept a new change of view to sent your feelings by mail to your loved ones in a special way.
