Abstract
Abstract A data mailing set integrally comprising a message panel, address panel, and return envelope panel assembled in marginally punched continuous form stationery for precision feeding and imprinting in computer line printers and office machines without the use of carbon imprints, envelope windows, or address labels. Fixed data and postal indicia may be preprinted during the manufacture of the form and variable data may be imprinted during data processing operations. The folded and sealed set is opened by the recipient by detaching a tear strip along one edge of the sealed set.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
A data mailing set comprising a base ply divided by longitudinal lines of weakening into three laterally adjacent panels comprising a message panel, a return envelope panel and an address panel, a subply overlying the return envelope panel and constituting one side of a double ply envelope, said subply being limited in width to the width of the panel which it overlies, said envelope being bounded by lines of weaking in the base ply for use in separating the envelope from said data mailing set, said subply being secured to the base ply along a coextensive periphery continuous with three sides of said envelope, said address panel having an additional longitudinal line of weakening to permit an envelope closure flap to be formed, said closure flap being further coated with adhesive on one side.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
134 words
A data mailing set comprising a base ply divided by longitudinal lines of weakening into three laterally adjacent panels comprising a message panel, a return envelope panel and an address panel, a subply overlying the return envelope panel and constituting one side of a double ply envelope, said subply being limited in width to the width of the panel which it overlies, said envelope being bounded by lines of weaking in the base ply for use in separating the envelope from said data mailing set, said subply being secured to the base ply along a coextensive periphery continuous with three sides of said envelope, said address panel having an additional longitudinal line of weakening to permit an envelope closure flap to be formed, said closure flap being further coated with adhesive on one side.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
67 words
The invention of claim 1 in which said data mailing set further comprises marginally perforated feed bands on two opposing sides of said base ply for feeding or threading said base ply through data processing equipment in imprinting the ply, there being a plurality of data mailing sets joined together to form a continuous stationery series by transverse lines of weakening crossing the entire data mailing set.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
41 words
The data mailing set of claim 2 wherein the marginally perforated feed bands on opposing sides of the base ply are joined to the base ply along longitudinal lines of weakening to permit them to be detached from the base ply.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
58 words
The data mailing set of claim 1 wherein a first longitudinal line of weakening defining a first panel has two additional lines of weakening extending parallel and coextensive with said first longitudinal line of weakening, for providing a tear strip to the sealed data mailing set and by which means the sealed data mailing set may be opened.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
The data mailing set of claim 1 wherein the base ply panel forming a side of said envelope is positioned between the other two base ply panels.
