  • Patent number: 5370304
    Abstract: A single-ply is folded about a transverse fold line longitudinally offset from a median through the ply and folded about parallel substantially coincident axes to form first, second, third and fourth panels of a mailer assembly. Longitudinally extending lines of perforations define marginal tear strips and transversely extending lines of perforations on the second and third panels adjacent the middle fold line and adjacent a free end of the first panel register with one another to form an end tear strip adjacent the top or bottom of the mailer. Where a return envelope is required, one of the panels has a U-shaped pattern of heat-sealable adhesive to join a pair of registering panels one to the other, with another panel forming a closure flap bearing rewettable adhesive.

  • Patent number: 5366145
    Abstract: An intermediate and mailer are provided, the mailer formed by concentrically C-folding a single sheet of paper. The narrow portion of the mailer is the front of the reply envelope, and a statement, coupon, etc., adapted to be placed into the return envelope, is connected to the return envelope by a perforation line when the mailer is opened. A vertical perforation separates the mailer into two parts, one part comprising the return envelope and statement or coupon when opened, and the other part being a six-part booklet, and including the outgoing address information which typically is visible through a window in the mailer front face. To facilitate opening, where a horizontal perf is to be torn the mailer has only a double thickness instead of a triple thickness.
