Abstract
A mailer includes a sheet having a front face, a rear face, a top edge and a bottom edge substantially parallel to one another, a left edge and a right edge substantially parallel to one another and substantially perpendicular to the top and bottom edges. A first, a second, and a third fold line are substantially parallel to the top and bottom edges, extending between the left edge and the right edge, and dividing the sheet into a first panel, a second panel, a third panel and a fourth panel. A protected information area is on the front face of the second panel and spaced apart from the left edge, the right edge, the first fold line and the second fold line. Four blackouts are printed on various panels to cover the protected information area.

A mailer comprising:
- a sheet having a front face, a rear face, a top edge and a bottom edge substantially parallel to one another, a left edge and a right edge substantially parallel to one another and substantially perpendicular to the top and bottom edges;
- a first, a second, and a third fold line substantially parallel to the top and bottom edges, extending between the left edge and the right edge, and dividing the sheet into a first panel, a second panel, a third panel and a fourth panel;
- a protected information area on the front face of the second panel and spaced apart from the left edge, the right edge, the first fold line and the second fold line;
- a first blackout printed on the front face of the first panel and spaced to cover the protected information area when the first panel is folded on top of the second panel at the first fold line;
- a second blackout printed on the rear face of the first panel and spaced to cover an area behind the first blackout;
- a third blackout printed on the rear face of the second panel and spaced to cover an area behind the protected information area;
- and
- a fourth blackout printed on the rear face of the third panel and spaced to cover the second blackout when the third panel is folded on top of the bottom of the second panel at the second fold line.

- a sheet having a front face, a rear face, a top edge and a bottom edge substantially parallel to one another, a left edge and a right edge substantially parallel to one another and substantially perpendicular to the top and bottom edges;
- a first, a second, and a third fold line substantially parallel to the top and bottom edges, extending between the left edge and the right edge, and dividing the sheet into a first panel, a second panel, a third panel and a fourth panel;
- a first line of weakness substantially parallel to and spaced from the left edge, extending between the top edge and the bottom edge, and forming a first tear-off strip;
- a second line of weakness substantially parallel to and spaced from the right edge, extending between the top edge and the bottom edge, and forming a second tear-off strip;
- a protected information area on the front face of the second panel and spaced apart from the left edge, the right edge, the first fold line and the second fold line;
- a first blackout printed on the front face of the first panel and spaced to cover the protected information area when the first panel is folded on top of the second panel at the first fold line;
- a second blackout printed on the rear face of the first panel and spaced to cover an area behind the first blackout;
- a third blackout printed on the rear face of the second panel and spaced to cover an area behind the protected information area;
- a fourth blackout printed on the rear face of the third panel and spaced to cover the second blackout when the third panel is folded on top of the bottom of the second panel at the second fold line;
- a third line of weakness forming a tab having three sides around the first and second blackouts that peals back to reveal the protected information area;
- first adhesive areas disposed around the protected information area;
- second adhesive areas disposed around the first blackout;
- third adhesive areas disposed on the front face of the first panel proximate to the top edge;
- fourth adhesive areas disposed on the front face of the second panel offset from the second fold line;
- fifth adhesive areas disposed on the front face of the second panel proximate to the second fold line;
- sixth adhesive areas dispose on the rear face of the fourth panel proximate to the bottom edge;
- seventh adhesive areas disposed in at least some of the first tear-off strips for holding the first, second, third and fourth panels together as the mailer is folded about the first, second and third fold lines;
- and
- eighth adhesive areas disposed in at least some of the second tear-off strips for holding the first, second, third and fourth panels together as the mailer is folded about the first, second and third fold lines.
