  • Patent number: 5174493
    Abstract: A business form comprises a mailer formed from a single roughly 81/2.times.11 inch sheet, with a reply envelope nestable within the mailer, yet large enough to comply with minimum size postal regulations for mailable first class documents. The mailer sheet is C or Z folded into three sections of approximately equal size with perforations defining marginal portions and main panels. The return envelope has a first portion having a length approximately twice that of a second portion, and a free end. The first and second portions are connected together to define an envelope pocket having a length approximately equal to that of the second portion, including a common first edge opposite from the free end. A first fold line is formed in the first portion at or slightly spaced from the pocket and parallel to the common edge, and a second fold line is formed in the first portion between the first fold line and the free end and parallel to the first fold line.
