Abstract: The present invention relates to a flexible magnetic wafer seal for adhesive attachment to folded pieces, such as brochures, folded cards, self-mailers and postal mailers, which are generally made of card stock. One or more flexible magnetic wafer seals may be adhesively attached to the open edges of a folded piece to secure the open edges together, for example, as required during the mailing process. The magnetic wafer seal can then be broken, preferably along at least one line of weakness, allowing the piece to be unfolded and converting the magnetic wafer seal into at least two magnetic holders for securing a piece to a metal surface. The unfolded piece can then be secured to a metallic surface by placing the side of the piece with the magnetic holders against the metallic surface, thereby allowing the magnetic holders to engage the metal surface, holding the piece in place.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a layered magnetic wafer seal for adhesive attachment to folded pieces, such as brochures, folded cards, self-mailers and postal mailers, which are generally made of card stock. One or more layered magnetic wafer seals may be adhesively attached to the open edges of a folded piece to secure the open edges together, for example, as required during the mailing process. The layered magnetic wafer seal can then be broken, preferably along at least one line of weakness, allowing the piece to be unfolded and converting the layered magnetic wafer seal into at least two magnetic holders for securing a piece to a metal surface. The unfolded piece can then be secured to a metallic surface by placing the side of the piece with the magnetic holders against the metallic surface, thereby allowing the magnetic holders to engage the metal surface, holding the piece in place.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a planar blank for an envelope and an envelope made therefrom. An insert is placed into the envelope at an insertion end and removed by the consumer at an opposed removal end. The removal end is easy to open, as the consumer only has to break a plurality of ties between the envelope front and back. Preferably the envelope back contains a magnet so that the envelope can be removably attached to a metal surface, such as a refrigerator. When the envelope is attached to a metallic object using the magnet, a window in the envelope front is visible, permitting the item mailed, or a photograph or other item to be displayed as if in a picture frame. A window can be included in the envelope back to prevent blind matches of labels to envelopes containing personalized mail, as the address/postage can be part of the insert viewable through this window. Further, one or more legs can be cut into the blank which can be folded out to permit the envelope to stand by itself.

Abstract: A mailable advertising article includes a planar blank having first and second planar surfaces, and first and second fold lines dividing the planar blank into a back wall portion, a protective flap adjacent the back wall portion along the first fold line, and a pocket-forming flap adjacent the back wall portion along the second fold line. A magnetic sheet is affixed to the second planar surface of the back wall portion. The pocket-forming flap is foldable about the second fold line over the back wall portion and is affixable thereto at at least one preselected location thereon, thereby forming a pocket between the back wall portion and the pocket-forming flap. The protective flap is foldable about the first fold line over the pocket-forming flap and is affixable thereto at at least one preselected location thereon. The second planar surface of the magnetic sheet includes mailing information printed thereon.

Abstract: A pocket card, including a planar blank having first and second planar surfaces, and first and second fold lines dividing the planar blank into a back wall portion, a protective flap and a pocket-forming flap. The protective flap is foldable over the back wall portion to define a pocket therebetween. The protective flap is foldable over the folded pocket-forming flap to provide a mailable enclosure. An opening is provided in the back wall portion of the planar blank and a magnet is positioned over the magnet such that the magnet is contained within the mailable enclosure. The pocket card is affixable from a magnetic surface, such as a refrigerator, office desk, filing cabinet or the like, to expose the pocket and a plurality of inserts held therein.

Abstract: A magnetic pocket frame providing a planar blank including first and second planar surfaces, and first and second fold lines, the first and second fold lines dividing the planar blank into a back wall portion, a protective flap being disposed adjacent the back wall portion along the first fold line, and a pocket-forming flap being disposed adjacent the back wall portion along the second fold line; a flexible magnetic sheet adhesively secured to the second planar surface of the pocket-forming flap, the flexible magnetic sheet being capable of magnetically holding the magnetic pocket card to a magnetic surface in any angular orientation thereto; an opening provided through the back wall portion; a pair of continuous perforation lines extending transversely across the protective flap from a first side edge thereof to a second side edge thereof; the pocket-forming flap being foldable about the second fold line over the back wall potion and being secured thereto at at least one preselected location thereon, thereb

Abstract: A magnetic pocket card, including: a planar blank having a first planar surface and a second planar surface, the planar blank having a fold line thereacross, the fold line dividing the planar blank into a pocket back portion and a pocket front portion, the planar blank being folded along the fold line, the pocket front portion being secured to the pocket back portion at at least one preselected location on the first planar surface thereby forming a pocket between the pocket back portion and the pocket front portion; and, a thin, flexible, magnetic sheet material having magnetic materials therein, the magnetic sheet material being capable of magnetically holding the magnetic pocket card to a magnetic substance, the magnetic sheet material being secured to the second planar surface on the pocket back portion. The pocket can receive a menu, coupons, phone listing, or the like.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a card having magnetic sheet secured to one surface and having a ramp to facilitate mailing. The ramp helps mail properly pass through high speed postal sorting equipment, for example, so as to prevent the edge of a magnetic strip on one card from interfering with other mail to prematurely stop that other mail and cause the machine to jam, particularly when the mail is being restacked after sorting.

Abstract: A card comprising a planar blank having a first planar surface and a second planar surface, the planar blank having at least one line of perforations dividing it into a first section and a second section; a thin, flexible, magnetic sheet material having magnetic materials therein, the magnetic sheet material having a first side and a second side, the magnetic sheet material being capable of magnetically holding the card to a magnetic substance, the first side of the magnetic sheet material being secured to the first planar surface within the first section; where the first section of the card having the magnetic sheet material secured thereto can be separated from the second section of said card along the at least one line of perforations; and, a spacer being removably secured to the second side of the magnetic sheet material.

Abstract: A card fabricated of a flexible material such as paper, pasteboard, plastic and the like that has a first planar surface and a second planar surface. The card is formed with a line of perforations or a fold line dividing the card into first and second sections and a thin, flexible, magnetic sheet material is adhesively secured to one of the planar surfaces of one of the sections. The thin, flexible, magnetic sheet is dimensionally coextensive with the section to which it is attached. Indicia is printed on the exposed surface of the card section to which the magnetic sheet is secured.
