• d) at least a portion but less than the whole of said second sheet being readily separable from the remainder of said sheetstock;
• and
• e) means for separating a strip of said first sheet and said second sheet that are adhered together from the remainder of said first sheet;
• her including a release coating between said second sheet and said first sheet that allows a portion of said second sheet to be removed exposing an adhesive that may be used to adhere to another part of the strip.

Sheetstock for preparing adhesive-backed printable labels comprising:

• a) a first sheet of paper having an upper and lower surface;
• b) a layer of printable plastic or paper having a lesser surface area than and being adhered to one portion of said first sheet, said plastic or paper layer including separation means to define therewith at least one readily removable adhesive-backed label;
• and
• c) said sheetstock having functionally equivalent thickness in all portions thereof.

Sheetstock for preparing a return envelope mailer capable of being printed comprising:

• a) a base sheet of paper having an upper and lower surface and means for separating said base sheet into a first and second portion;
• b) a layer of printable paper or plastic having a lesser surface area than said sheet and being adhered along all but one of its edges to said second portion of one surface of said base sheet to form a pocket therewith, such that said formed pocket may be detached from the first portion of said base sheet;
• and
• c) said sheetstock having functionally equivalent thickness in all portions thereof.

Sheetstock comprising:

• a) a first sheet of paper having an upper and lower surface;
• b) a layer of printable paper or plastic having a lesser surface area than said sheet and being adhered to one surface of said sheet, said sheet and layer including separations therethrough to define therewith at least one readily re movable portion;
• and
• c) said sheetstock having functionally equivalent thickness in all portions thereof.
