Abstract:
A mailer type business form intermediate, including a reply envelope, comprising:a substantially quadrate sheet of paper having first and second faces, top and bottom edges substantially parallel to each other, and first and second side edges substantially perpendicular to said top and bottom edges and substantially parallel to each other;first and second lines of weakness formed in said sheet adjacent, but spaced from and substantially parallel to, said first and second side edges, respectively, to define first and second removable side margin portions;a first fold line formed in said sheet substantially parallel to said top and bottom edges, and defining said sheet into panels on opposite sides thereof;a first pattern of pressure activated cohesive in each of said removable side margin portions on at least said second face, said first pattern on said first and second faces being configured and dimensioned to substantially prevent blocking when said intermediate is laid face-to-face with other intermediates in a fan-fold configuration;a second pattern of pressure activated cohesive formed in said panels on opposite sides of said first fold line for defining three edges of a reply envelope, said second pattern of pressure activated adhesive configured, dimensioned, and positioned so that blocking is substantially avoided when said intermediate is brought into face-to-face engagement with other intermediates in a fan-fold configuration; andan activatable pattern of adhesive provided on one of said panels of said second face to seal a fourth edge of said reply envelope distinct from said first through third edges.
