Abstract: The frangible card with a sealed compartment has a top sheet and a bottom sheet made from a synthetic, polymeric, plastic material, both sheets being substantially rigid and being sized and shaped substantially in the form of a conventional credit card, and thus being adapted for transport on or about the person in a wallet or billfold. An information storage medium, such as paper, film, or magnetic storage media, is interleaved between the top and bottom sheets. The top and bottom sheets are sealed around their periphery, preferably by ultrasonic welding, defining a sealed compartment. The top and bottom sheets are opaque in order to preserve the information stored in the sealed compartment in privacy. The top and bottom sheets are scored along one edge, so that access to the compartment is gained by breaking the card along the scored edge. Paper money or other flat valuables may be stored in the compartment with the information storage medium.

Abstract: A system for mailing an article requiring special services and a method for forming a mailpiece having an interior for carrying an article requiring special services are provided. The system includes an integrally formed envelope and form constructed from a single sheet folded and sealed in such a way that one portion of the assembly provides an envelope and the other portion provides a return postcard and at least one other form for attachment to the envelope in its assembled position. The parts are integrally formed, but removably attached, such that the return postcard remains attached to the envelope until received by the addressee at which time the return postcard may be removed. Alternatively, the system may be constructed from two sheets appropriately sealed.

Abstract: The business form assembly includes an integrated mailer and return envelope comprising first, second, third and fourth plies having first, second, third and fourth edges. The first and third edges of the four plies are adhesively secured one to the other. Additional lines of adhesive are inset from a tear strip containing the adhesive securing the first, second, third and fourth plies to one another for securing the second and third plies to one another. The second and third plies are inset along second and fourth edges to enable adhesive securement of the first and fourth plies along the first and fourth edges to one another. A return envelope flap is formed by a fold line in the third ply. A registering line of perforations in the second ply defines the back face of the return envelope and a record-keeping portion between the line of perforations and the fourth edge.
