Abstract
A remailable postcard includes a front side and a back side. The front side would be used in the initial mailing to indicate the original addressee and contain the necessary postage. The back side would have the portion indicating the address of the return addressee. In addition, return postage would be provided on the back side. The return addressee portion would be at least partially covered by a removable label or flap. The card also contains a tear off strip along the edge having the original postage. When the original addressee wishes to return the card the label or flap would be removed to expose the return addressee information and the tear off strip would be detached to remove the original postage. The back side of the card would then contain the necessary postal information to permit the card to be remailed.
