Abstract:
A mailer type business form intermediate comprising:a substantially quadrate cut 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;said top and bottom edges spaced a first distance, and said side edges spaced a second distance, less than said first distance;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;first and second fold lines formed in said sheet substantially parallel to said top and bottom edges, and defining said sheet into first, second and third panels;at least one first pattern of pressure activated cohesive in each of said side margins on at least one of said faces, said patterns for holding said sheet in a folded configuration as a mailer;said first panel defined between said top edge and said first fold line, said second panel between said first and second fold lines, and said third panel between said second fold line and said bottom edge;second patterns of pressure activated cohesive on said first face in said second and third panels cooperating with each other when the intermediate is C-folded about said second fold line to define a reply envelope, and disposed on the opposite sides of said first and second lines of weakness from said first and second side edges;a reply envelope closing flap formed in one of said panels and extending substantially parallel to said top and bottom edges;a pattern of adhesive provided in said closing flap; andsaid second and first patterns of pressure sensitive cohesive each having an effective width of about 3/8 inch or less, and spaced from each other in a first dimension parallel to said top and bottom edges a distance of greater than about 0.25 inches and less than about one inch.
