Abstract: A mailing form constructed of a single ply of substrate material which is configured such that it can be folded to form a financial document, such as an accounts payable or payroll check and check voucher, and wherein the ply is further folded to form an outgoing mailer envelope in which the financial document is enclosed for mailing to a recipient.

Abstract: A system, method and computer readable medium for adjusting font pitch during a print process is disclosed. The method on a computer system includes observing a print command issued by an application. The method further includes generating an output file in response to the print command and modifying the output file to conform to a template.

The method further includes sending the output file to an output destination. In one alternative, the method includes determining whether each character in the output file is at least one of a numerical character and an alphabetic character and 1) adjusting the font pitch of numerical characters to be fixed font pitch, and 2) adjusting the font pitch of alphabetic characters to be variable font pitch.

Abstract: Forms, such as mailing forms, constructed as a single sheet or multiple sheets of standard paper size, which are printable by a single pass through a standard non-impact printer are described. Certain variations of the forms can be configured to be extendible to provide additional surface area for the form exceeding standard paper size. The extendible form can be adapted for use with mailing forms such as multi-part collated unit sets. The forms can be useful for providing a Customs Declaration and Dispatch Note having each part thereof printable by a single pass through a non-impact printer.

Abstract: A pressure-seal or pressure-activated sealing means for a mailing form constructed of a single ply of substantially opaque or printable substrate material which is configured such that it can be folded to form a financial document, for example, an accounts payable or payroll check and check voucher, and wherein the ply is further folded to form an outgoing mailer envelope in which the financial document is enclosed for mailing to a recipient. The mailing form can also include a substantially transparent single ply of substrate material for providing a window area for viewing or scanning therethrough.

Abstract: A mailing form, including an upper sheet of material adhesively fastened to a lower sheet, is configured for the printing of information on a single side during passage of the form through a non-impact printer. At a first end of the form, the upper and lower sheets are fastened together permanently, forming a pocket to be used as a return envelope. The portion of the upper sheet which extends away from this pocket is divided into an inner flap, on which information is printed, and an outer flap, which is temporarily fastened to the lower sheet in order to protect an adhesive pattern during the printing process. After the printing process, the outer flap is removed and discarded, the inner flap is folded along lines provided for folding, and the lower sheet is folded on itself to enclose the inner flap. As the adhesive pattern holds the lower sheet shut in this position, address and return address information printed on the inner flap is visible through apertures in the lower sheet, which forms an envelope.

Abstract: A multi-part form useful as a delivery confirmation form is described. The form has two plies releasably adhered together by having adhesive and adhesive-release material disposed on opposing faces of the plies. Separable sections of the form are formed by a perforation line made along the length of the form. A gap in adhesive release material along the perforation line in the bottom ply of the form is provided to form a substantially permanent bond between the plies.

Abstract: A form for creating a postcard having printing on both sides includes a front sheet and a back sheet, which are laminated using a pressure sensitive adhesive on a back surface of the front sheet. A fold line extends across the front sheet, while a tear line underlying the fold line extends across the back sheet. A gap in the adhesive preferably extends along the fold line. On one side of the fold line opposite to the direction of the gap, the inner surface of the back sheet has a release coating restricting the adhesion of the adhesive layer. After printing on the front surface of the front sheet, the section of the back sheet having this release coating is removed and discarded, and the front sheet is folded along the fold line, thereby providing a document having printing on both sides and a thickness sufficient for a postcard.

Abstract: A multi-part, partially pre-printed form useful as an airbill has address information printed thereon by a non-impact printer. Different configurations of the form are described, including panels overlappingly affixed together by an adhesive having removable strips defined by cuts through the top overlapping panels. The center panel is transparent or at least translucent. The address information printed on the outer panels is in a mirror image format relative to the information printed on the transparent panel.

Abstract: A template sheet forming postal meter labels or combination postal meter/address labels are described upon which postal indicia can be printed, by a non-impact printer, less than one-quarter inch from the edge of the label. The sheet includes a plurality of removably affixed meter tape or meter tape/address labels positioned on one face of a laminated individual or continuous feed sheet. The combination meter tape/address labels are self-aligning for conforming to United States Postal Service IBIP specifications.

Abstract: A mailer blank having a return receipt post card which can be printed on both faces thereof by a single pass through a non-impact, simplex printer is described. The return receipt post card is configured to present all areas to be printed with variable information on a single face of the postcard, thereby allowing printing of all variable information in a single pass through the printer. The post card is provided with fold lines such that a unique folding pattern results in formation of a post card of standard size and uniform thickness, and having the variable printed information ultimately positioned at desired locations on both sides (faces) of the post card.

Abstract: A mailing form, including an upper sheet of material adhesively fastened to a lower sheet, is configured for the printing of information on a single side during passage of the form through a non-impact printer. The upper and lower sheets are fastened together permanently at one end, forming a pocket to be used as a return envelope. The portion of the upper sheet which extends away from this pocket is divided into an inner flap, on which information is printed, and an outer flap, which is temporarily fastened to the lower sheet in order to protect an adhesive pattern during the printing process. After the printing process, the outer flap is removed and discarded, the inner flap is folded along lines provided for folding, and the lower sheet is folded on itself to enclose the inner flap. As the adhesive pattern holds the lower sheet shut in this position, address and return address information printed on the inner flap is visible through apertures in the lower sheet, which forms an envelope.

Abstract: A mailer blank, which may be configured for subsequent printing and folding processes, includes a transparent sheet and an attached opaque layer, both of which extend between longitudinal and transverse edges. An aperture is formed within the opaque layer. In a first version, the mailer blank also includes a second opaque layer, having an aperture aligned with the aperture of the first opaque layer, similarly extending between the longitudinal and transverse edges. Both the first and second layers are paper, adhesively attached to opposite sides of the transparent layer. In a second version, the opaque layer is a ultra-violet ink coating. In a third version, a paper layer is attached to one side of the transparent sheet, with a pocket being formed between one of the paper layers and the sheet for use as a return envelope.
