Combined brochure and return envelope package

A combined brochure and return envelope package comprising a plurality of rectangular leaves of sheet material of approximately the same size overlying one another to form an assemblage of said leaves and which leaves are joined to one another along one bound edge of said assemblage, said plurality of leaves including a plurality of pages made of a single thickness of said sheet material and also including at least one envelope leaf which envelope leaf throughout at least a portion of its extent comprises two overlying panels of said sheet material joined to one another to form an envelope, said envelope leaf including an elongated sealing flap connected with one of said two overlying panels and forming part of said envelope, said sealing flap having an inner longitudinal edge along which it is connected to said one of said two overlying panels and an outer longitudinal edge parallel to said inner longitudinal edge, said envelope leaf also including a first line of weakening arranged parallel to said one bound edge of said assemblage and located between said envelope and said one bound edge, which first line of weakening is colinear with and defines said outer longitudinal edge of said sealing flap, to enable said envelope to be separated from said envelope leaf by tearing along said line of weakening, said envelope leaf including a single thickness third panel located between said one bound edge of said assemblage and said first line of weakening, and said envelope being folded relative to said third panel along one of said longitudinal edges of said sealing flap so as to be interposed between said third panel and the adjacent one of said pages.
