Abstract

Abstract Oversized laser mailer and method wherein a sheet such as 17"×11" has static information on one face and variable information on the other face, the sheet being transversely folded to provide an overlapping edge, equipped with ribbons of adhesive adjacent the folded edges, longitudinally folded and equipped with transverse lines of perforation adjacent the edges to provide tear off strips whereby removal of the tear off strips results in two separate sheets.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 182 words
A folded single sheet mailer comprising a rectangular sheet having two long sides and two short sides, said sheet on one face being imprinted with variable information and static information on the other face, said sheet being folded on itself transverse to said long sides along a line offset from the middle of said sheet to provide one fold ply extending beyond the other fold ply and with the variable information containing face positioned outwardly, a transverse line of perforation in said one ply in the portion extending beyond the other fold ply, a transversely extending glue line on said static information face in said extending portion between said transverse line of perforation and the adjacent short side, superposed lines of transverse perforation in said one fold ply and said other fold ply adjacent said transverse fold line, a transversely extending glue line on said other ply on said variable information containing face between said superposed lines of perforation and said fold line, said sheet being folded on itself along two spaced apart longitudinally extending fold lines to provide a sealed envelope.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 182 words
A folded single sheet mailer comprising a rectangular sheet having two long sides and two short sides, said sheet on one face being imprinted with variable information and static information on the other face, said sheet being folded on itself transverse to said long sides along a line offset from the middle of said sheet to provide one fold ply extending beyond the other fold ply and with the variable information containing face positioned outwardly, a transverse line of perforation in said one ply in the portion extending beyond the other fold ply, a transversely extending glue line on said static information face in said extending portion between said transverse line of perforation and the adjacent short side, superposed lines of transverse perforation in said one fold ply and said other fold ply adjacent said transverse fold line, a transversely extending glue line on said other ply on said variable information containing face between said superposed lines of perforation and said fold line, said sheet being folded on itself along two spaced apart longitudinally extending fold lines to provide a sealed envelope.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 30 words
The structure of claim 1 in which the longitudinally extending fold lines are unequally spaced relative to the said long sides to provide a flap portion for a return envelope.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 18 words
The structure of claim 2 in which said flap portion is equipped with a band of remoistenable adhesive.
