  • Envelope and enclosure sheet
    Patent number: 4630768
    Abstract: An improved high speed method for producing quantities of discrete envelope assemblies and an assembly produced thereby, each assembly including an envelope and separate double folded enclosure formed from the same blank of sheet material and having personalized information printed on both the envelope and enclosure that is unique to each assembly.The method provides for continuous operation of the method steps all occurring one after the other as each assembly travels in the same general direction throughout all processing operations.

  • Mailing envelope and insert subassembly
    Patent number: 4600141
    Abstract: A method for producing quantities of discrete envelope assemblies, and assemblies produced thereby, including at least one separate enclosure for each assembly, the invention allows formation of the envelope and enclosure from the same sheet of material and allows marking of both envelope and enclosure with indicia which can be unique to each assembly. The method particularly allows continuous, high speed manufacture of assemblies personalized by name and address or the like by printing the indicia on a web of sheet material followed by formation of the web into a plurality of separate envelopes and enclosures with the envelopes and enclosures having like indicia being associated, the method including the use of a fugitive adhesive effected during manufacture, the contour cutting of the web prior to folding and the maintenance of a singular direction of travel of the web and element cut therefrom throughout manufacture.
