A unit set or assembly of several superimposed parts form a mailer without a stub, folded and detachable glue flaps being provided respectively along opposite sides of the first and second parts from the top, the flaps underlying and being secured to the last or bottom part of the assembly. Three-part or four-part mailer constructions are provided wherein the topmost part comprises a cover ply which, when removed, permits the assembly to be used as a mailer since the second part is secured to the fourth part in a four-part construction by means of glue from the first part flap extending through holes provided in the third part to thereby secure the second and fourth parts together. In the three-part construction, holes are provided in the bottom part so that the glue from the first part flap may extend therethrough so as to secure the second and third parts together.
A multi-part mailer construction, comprising superimposed first, second, third and fourth parts, said third part having at least one first hole therein of a predetermined first size along one of its margins, a quantity of detachable adhesive extending between said second and fourth parts and through said hole of said third part for securing said second and fourth parts together, said adhesive extending through said first hole having a cross-sectional size which is less than said predetermined size of said first hole so as to be spaced inwardly of the marginal edge of said first hole for retaining said third part in place, said first part having a first glue flap thereon underlying said fourth part and being secured thereto, said first flap being removably secured to said first part along a line of weakening located at one marginal edge thereof, and said second part having a second glue flap thereon underlying said fourth part and being secured thereto, said second flap being removably secured to said second part along a line of weakening located at a marginal edge opposite said one edge whereby said second and fourth parts are connected together and said third part is immobilized to form a mailer construction having open sides at other than said marginal edges with said first part detachably connected thereto along said first flap line of weakening, said one flap having said detachable adhesive thereon, and said parts each being devoid of any tear lines which may form a stub, whereby removal of said first part leaves said second, third and fourth parts intact, or separation of said second and fourth parts effects a break in said adhesive and frees said third part from the remaining of said parts while leaving said first and fourth parts interconnected, or removal of said first part together with separation of said second and fourth parts separates each of said parts from one another.
A multi-part mailer construction, comprising, superimposed, top, intermediate and bottom parts and a cover ply disposed over said top part, a first glue flap detachably connected to said cover ply along a line of weakening located at one marginal edge thereof, a second glue flap detachably connected to said top ply along a line of weakening located at a marginal edge thereof opposite said one edge, said flaps underlying said bottom part and being adhesively secured thereto, first and second axially aligned holes of different sizes respectively provided in said bottom and intermediate parts, the size of said first hole being less than the size of said second hole, a portion of the glue on one of said flaps being detachable glue and extending through said aligned holes to thereby connect only said top and bottom parts together while immobilizing said intermediate part to form a mailer construction having open sides opposite said edges with said cover ply being detachably connected thereto along said first flap line of weakening, the size difference between said holes defining a portion of said bottom part which masks said second hole so as to confine the cross-sectional size of said glue portion to the smaller size of said first hole, and said parts each being devoid of any tear lines which may form a stub, whereby said cover ply may be removed from the mailer while leaving said parts intact, or separation of said top ply and said bottom part breaks said glue portion and frees said intermediate part from the mailer while leaving said cover ply and bottom part interconnected, or removal of said cover ply together with separation of said top and bottom parts separates said ply and said parts from one another.
A multi-part mailer construction, comprising superimposed top, intermediate and bottom parts, said top part having a folded first glue flap detachably connected thereto along a line of weakening located at one marginal edge thereof, said intermediate part having a folded second glue flap detachably connected thereto along a line of weakening located at a marginal edge opposite said one edge, said flaps underlying said bottom part and being secured thereto, said bottom part having at least one hole therein along one of its margins, the glue on said first flap being detachable glue and extending through said hole to thereby connect only said intermediate and bottom parts together into a mailer construction having open sides opposite said marginal edges with said top part detachably connected thereto along said first flap line of weakening, and said parts each being devoid of any tear lines which may form a stub, whereby removal of said top part leaves said intermediate and bottom parts intact, or removal of said intermediate part leaves said top and bottom parts interconnected, or removal of said top and intermediate parts separates each of said parts from one another.
