  • Patent number: 4033807
    Abstract: A system for manufacturing two-way mailers constituted by a single blank imprinted with data on both faces thereof, the blank then being formed into superposed panels that not only define pre-addressed forwarding and return envelopes but also a printed statement of charges and a return stub to accompany payment, thereby making it possible for a company to forward to a customer a statement of charges and for the customer to remit to the company. In the system, the blanks are individually printed on both faces thereof in a printing stage that includes a conveyor loop wherein fresh blanks admitted into the loop are fed under the printing head for imprinting on one face thereof, each blank then being turned over and advanced on the loop toward a two-position output gate. In its first position, the gate passes the blank into a reentry mechanism acting to readmit the turned-over blank into the loop for imprinting on the other face thereof.

  • Patent number: 4029341
    Abstract: A printed form to be filled out and submitted to a receiving party for processing, the form including as a removable component thereof a label assembly on which the submitter inserts his name and address, whereby the receiving party is then able to mail material to the submitter in an envelope having the removed label applied thereto. The label assembly is constituted by a face sheet having an address block printed thereon which is to be filled out with the name and address of the submitter, the underside of the face sheet having a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer thereon protectively covered by a backing sheet. The backing sheet is severed into two short end sections and a long intermediate section, the underside of the intermediate section having a carbon copy coating thereon. In attaching the label assembly to the form to overlie an address block printed thereon, the end sections of the backing are adhered to the corresponding ends of the form block.

  • Patent number: 3942714
    Abstract: A two-way mailer in the form of a three-sheet pack which is mailable by a company to a customer for billing purposes, the pack containing a bill for goods sold or services rendered. The pack is edge-perforated to define a first removable stub constituted by the left edges of the top and back sheets which are longer than the middle sheet, and a second stub constituted by the left edge of the middle sheet and an inward portion of the back sheet. The face of the top sheet is addressed to the customer, while the face of the middle sheet is addressed to the company. The rear of the top sheet has the bill imprinted thereon, whereas the rear of the middle sheet and the face of the back sheet contain data relating to the payment of the bill. When the customer receives the pack mailed to him, he removes the first stub, making it possible for him to peel off the top sheet and examine the bill on the rear thereof.
