A mailer type business form comprising:

• a quadrate sheet having first, second and third panels, each with a first face and a second face, Z-folded about fold lines so that said third panel second face engages said second panel second face and said first panel first face engages said second panel first face, to define first through fourth edges of each panel;
• one of said second and third panels having an outgoing address area formed thereon;
• one of said first and second panels having a patch, with inner and outer surfaces, adhesively secured to said first face thereof, said patch having an outer surface with masking means associated therewith, and transfer means provided between said patch inner surface and said first panel first face;
• and
• adhesive patterns holding said panels together in said Z-folded configuration, with said first faces of said first and second panels in face-to-face engagement with each other.

A mailer type business form comprising:

• a quadrate sheet having first, second and third panels, each with a first face and a second face, Z-folded about fold lines so that said third panel second face engages said second panel second face and said first panel first face engages said second panel first face, to define first through fourth edges of each panel;
• said first face of said third panel having an outgoing address area formed thereon with an outgoing address therein;
• adhesive patterns holding said panels together in said Z-folded configuration, with said first faces of said first and second panels in face-to-face engagement with each other;
• and
• means for forming said business form into a reply mailer, comprising lines of weakness disposed adjacent and parallel to at least some of said first through fourth edges, for allowing ready opening of said mailer type business form, a window formed in said third panel adjacent said outgoing address area, reply address indica formed on said second panel first face in alignment with said window when the reply mailer is constructed, and activatable adhesive provided on said second panel first face for sealing said second and third panels together with the first faces thereof in face-to-face contact when the reply mailer is constructed.

A business form intermediate comprising:

• a sheet having first and second opposite faces, parallel first and second edges, and parallel third and fourth edges perpendicular to said first and second edges;
• first and second fold lines parallel to said first and second edges, and dividing said sheet into first, second, and third panels, said first panel bordered by said first edge and first fold line, and said second panel between said first and third panels;
• said first face of said third panel having an outgoing address area formed thereon;
• adhesive patterns associated with said panels for holding said business form in a Z-fold configuration when folded about said first and second fold lines to provide said first panel first surface covered by said second panel first face so that said patch is not visible from the exterior of a formed mailer, but so that said outgoing address area is visible from the exterior of a formed mailer a window in said third panel adjacent said outgoing address area;
• means for forming a reply mailer from said second and third panels including a reply address area on said second panel first face in alignment with said window when a reply mailer is formed, and activatable adhesive means provided on said second panel first face for holding said second and third panel first faces together when a reply mailer is formed.
