Abstract
The continuous mailer assembly has mailer units in which one of the back or front plies is either completely severed from the adjacent ply or connected to the adjacent ply by a weak hinge connection. In either case, tenting is avoided when the mailer assembly is unfolded from a stacked condition.
Claims9
A continuous mailer assembly comprising
- a plurality of interconnected units disposed in stacked array, each unit including a front ply, a back ply secured to said front ply to define an envelope and at least one insert ply between said front ply and said back ply;
- one of said front ply and said back ply of one of said units being unconneted and contiguous with one ply of an adjacent unit and the other of said front ply and said back ply being connected with another ply of said adjacent unit in an interrupted manner.
A continuous mailer assembly comprising
- a plurality of interconnected units disposed in stacked array, each unit including a front ply, a back ply secured to said front ply to define an envelope and at least one insert ply between said front ply and said back ply;
- one of said front ply and said back ply of one of said units being connected with one ply of an adjacent unit with a pair of parallel lines of perforations disposed in offset relation to each other to define a weak hinge connection sufficiently weakened to prevent tenting from occurring upon a subsequent folding and unfolding of said adjacent units and the other of said front ply and said back ply being connected with another ply of an adjacent unit in an interrupted manner.
A continuous tentless mailer assembly comprising
- a plurality of interconnected units disposed in layers in a stacked array, each said unit including a front ply, a back ply secured to said front ply to define an enclosed envelope, and at least one insert ply between said front ply and said back ply;
- each said front ply of one of said layers being hingedly connected to an adjacent front ply of an adjacent layer along a line of perforations;
- each said back ply of said one layer being hingedly connected to an adjacent back ply of said adjacent layer with a pair of parallel lines of perforations and a third line of perforations located between and in parallel offset relation to said pair of parallel lines of perforations defining a plurality of hinges connecting said adjacent back plies to each other.
A continuous tentless mailer assembly comprising
- a plurality of interconnected units disposed in layers in a stacked array, each said unit including a front ply, a back ply secured to said front ply to define an enclosed envelope, and at least one insert ply between said front ply and said back ply;
- each said front ply of one of said layers being hingedly connected to an adjacent front ply of an adjacent layer along a line of perforations;
- each said insert ply being unconnected with an adjacent insert ply;
- and
- each said back ply of said one layer being hingedly connected to an adjacent back ply of said adjacent layer with a pair of parallel lines of perforations disposed in offset relation to each other defining a plurality of hinges connecting said adjacent back plies to each other.
