Definitions

  • This invention relates to mailing wrappers or covers, which are suitable for use with magazines and, especially, with mail order catalogues.
  • Mail order catalogues, magazines and publications of a similar format distributed in volume are commonly mailed in wrappers or covers intended to protect the outside and/or the catalogue.
  • Pre- printed address labels can be applied to the wrappers or the recipient's address can be printed directly on the wrapper, using any of a variety of conventional addressing machines.
  • Mail order catalogues are provided with an order form and may include a pre-addressed return envelope. These are commonly inserted loose in the catalogues if a sealed wrapper is employed for mailing. Alternatively, the order form can be stitched, or stapled, usually in the centrefold, to become an integral part of the catalogue.
  • wrapper or cover for a catalogue, magazine or the like, which wrapper or cover contains fields for printed material, such as an order form, and one or more preformed reply envelopes intended for use by the recipient.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a method for preparing a composite wrapper or cover, the elements of which comprise preprinted front and rear cover sheets joined along a longitudinal centrefold line, at least one preformed reply envelope and, optionally, one or more response devices joined to the envelope flap(s), all of which are formed from an integral sheet or web, so that two or more of the elements can be personalized without the possibility of mismatching of personal data on the elements.
  • the present invention provides a composite mailing wrapper or cover suitable for use with a magazine or catalogue, comprising front and rear cover sheets joined along a fold line so as to be aligned with the binding of the magazine or catalogue, characterized in that at least one envelope with an open flap is detachably connected to the inside of the cover sheets, such that the envelope flap lies adjacent an edge of the cover sheets which is perpendicular to the fold line, the cover sheets and envelope being prepared from an integral web.
  • the cover sheets, envelopes and response devices are preprinted with fields of information, while in the form of the integral sheet or continuous web, and are thereafter passed through computer-directed printing apparatus for personalization of the various elements.
  • the invention also resides in a method for producing such a cover as claimed in any preceding cover claim from an integral web comprising a cover sheet panel and an envelope sheet, the method comprising the steps of:
  • the articles of the present invention and their methods of preparation permit the personalization of two or more of the elements, i.e., cover sheets, envelopes and optional response devices, and their assembly to a magazine or catalogue with the elimination of any substantial risk of mismatching.
  • the methods of the invention can readily be adapted to producing the desired articles in a wide variety of configurations, formats and sizes, all of which are within the capabilities of commercial presses, computer-directed printers and available folding and converting equipment.
  • FIG. 1 a composite sheet or a portion of a continuous web of paper 10, which is bisected by a longitudinal fold line 11.
  • Sheet 10 is divided into cover panel 20 and envelope portion 30 by a first transverse line 12.
  • Envelope portion 30 contains a pair of adjacent envelope blanks 31 and 32 lying on either side of line 11.
  • Each envelope blank consists of a flap 33, defined by second transverse line 34 and a third transverse line 35 defining front envelope panel 36 and rear envelope panel 37.
  • Flaps 33 can be coated with remoistenable gum adhesive 38. Flaps 33 can also be provided with die-cuts 39 at their respective corners.
  • the web 10 can be provided with line holes 13 which are positioned in outer longitudinal strips 14.
  • Line holes facilitate indexing of pre-printed sheets and webs during the personalized step where the line holes are engaged by the computer directed printer.
  • sheet 10 comprises a section of a continuous printed web
  • the line holes facilitate the bursting of the composite forms along intermediate line 15. Strips 14 are trimmed off during a subsequent finishing step, as described below.
  • blank web 10 is fed into a form printer capable of printing an appropriate field on the adjacent cover sheets 21 and 22.
  • the printed fields can include a solicitation and an order form, or simply two order forms.
  • the form printer also prints the return address on the business reply envelope at a position obverse of front panel 36.
  • envelope panels 36 and 37 will likewise be folded to face each other, and remoistenable adhesive 38 will be applied to the upper surface of the web 10 as shown. Die cutting at flap corners 39 and perforations, for example, along lines 11 and 12, can be accomplished on the form printer.
  • the continuous web exiting the form printer is indexed and fed into the computer directed printers for personalization in any desired configuration.
  • the solicitations and order forms on the inside cover sheets 21 and 22 can be personalized in the salutation and an account number can be entered.
  • the inside of the flap can be personalized with the name and address of the recipient.
  • the cover sheet 21 is provided with an opening, or window 23, as by die-cutting, which corresponds to a personalized printed field 40 on the envelope flap so that when the article is folded in the final assembly the printed field 40 on the flap 33 is visible through the window 23 in the cover sheet.
  • a first fold along third transverse line 35 brings the rear envelope panel 37 into superposed position over front panel 36 thereby forming the envelope pocket.
  • the sheet can be perforated along line 11, if perforations have not been previously provided, as on the form printer.
  • the composite forms are also "burst", or separated from the web along transverse cutting lines 15 and 15', and the line hole strips 14 are removed prior to folding.
  • FIG. 3 Shown partially completed in FIG. 3 is a second fold along line 12, which brings the completed envelopes into superposed relation with the cover sheets.
  • the envelopes remain detachably joined to the cover sheets along the line of perforations 12.
  • the article is then folded along line 11 and secured to the catalog.
  • the recipient can then remove one envelope from the assembly by tearing first along the line of perforations 11 between the envelopes and then along the perforations at line or edge 12, much in the manner that a check is removed from a page in a conventional business checkbook.
  • This embodiment has the advantage of leaving the other envelope detachably connected to the remaining cover sheet.
  • the envelopes are separated from the cover sheets, as by trimming away the material adjacent fold line 12, while the envelope and cover sheets are in a superposed configuration, and essentially simultaneous with said trimming step, detachably connecting the elements as by a staple or stitching.
  • This latter sequence of steps is schematically illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5, where the edge trimming is accomplished for example, by scissor wheels 45, and the 3 separate elements 20 and 30 are essentially simultaneously detachably connected by staple means 50 in cooperation with anvil 51.
  • the finished article is then ready for folding along line 11 and assembly to the.catalog. See FIG. 6.
  • the envelope can be detachably secured to the cover sheet by means of a releasable, pressure sensitive adhesive.
  • the pressure sensitive adhesive can be applied as a spot or narrow strip to either the cover sheet or the envelope panel, and preferably subsequent to the folding step shown in FIG. 2.
  • the releasable, pressure sensitive adhesive permits the envelope to be detached without damage to itself or the cover sheet.
  • an article comprising cover sheets 21 and 22 and a single large envelope can be prepared merely by eliminating the two internal lines of hot melt adhesive on panels 36 and the perforarions along centerfold line 11. See, for example, FIG. 9, described in detail below.
  • the preparation of a composite cover sheet and single envelope could be necessitated by postal regulations setting minimum envelope dimensions, especially where the catalog or magazine itself is of a small, or pocket size.
  • the article comprises but a single envelope, it will be necessary for the recipient to completely remove the cover sheets in order to separate the envelope from the assembly.
  • three or more return envelopes can be prepared as part of the composite sheet by providing an additional pair of hot melt glue lines and intermediate lines of perforations defining lines of separation between the respective panels and flaps.
  • steps for completing the composite article are as previously described.
  • the relative size and configuration of the envelope, or envelopes can be varied by changing the relative positions of transverse fold lines 34 and 35.
  • the width can also be modified by die-cutting and bursting along the outside longitudinal edges of panels 36 and 36' to reduce the width of one or both of the envelopes. By die-cutting and trimming one side of the envelope portion 30 to the fold line 11, one envelope can be entirely eliminated.
  • a further preferred embodiment of the invention incorporates a response device and is shown by way of illustration in FIG. 7.
  • the composite sheet 10 is similar to that shown in FIG. 1, with the exception that a response device 60 and 60', defined by first transverse line 12 and transverse parting line 16, is positioned between envelope flap 33 and cover sheet 20.
  • a response device 60 and 60' defined by first transverse line 12 and transverse parting line 16
  • die-cut sections 40 have been provided to reduce the width of the response devices to that of the envelope pockets formed after the first folding step.
  • the response device could take the form of a prepaid post card that can be detached from the envelope flap along line 16, which is preferably provided with slit perforations.
  • FIG. 9 a further preferred embodiment of the invention which is particularly adapted for use with extremely thick or bulky catalogs distributed by large mail order firms. It is a specific purpose of this embodiment to provide a wrapper which completely encloses the catalog, and which can be sealed so that the integrity of the catalog is protected during mailing, and also precludes the inspection of the contents without removal of the wrapper.
  • the composite mailing wrapper comprises a single return envelope, cover sheets and a cover sealing flap 25, joined to the left cover sheet 21 along longitudinal joining line 26.
  • Cover flap 25 can be provided with a strip of pressure sensitive adhesive 28, and preferably is provided with a longitudinal tear line of perforations which is positioned parallel to the outer edges of the cover flap and lies inside of the adhesive strip 28.
  • the composite wrapper of FIG. 9 can be prepared in the manner of the embodiments of FIG. 1 and7,above, starting with a continuous web which is fed to the forms press where, during printing, the line holes are punched and any desired die cut configurations can also be provided. Thereafter the printed web is fed through a computer printer for personalization, and then to the folding and bursting equipment for finishing.
  • flap 25 is prepared by die-cutting and trimming away the width of the web above the flap. Preparation of the finished article leading to the use as illustrated in FIG. 10 follows the steps described in connection with FIGS. 2 through 5.
  • the composite mailing wrapper comprised of envelope 30 detachably connected to cover 20 is wrapped around bulky catalog 60 and sealing flap 25 is folded along joining line 26 and then along tear line 27 to bring the strip of pressure sensitive adhesive 28 into contact with the outside of rear cover 22,
  • This configurafion of the finished assembly is illustrated schematically in the end view of FIG. 11. It will be appreciated that where lines 26 and 27 are provided with perforations, opening and removal of the composite wrapper can be accomplished by pulling down to remove that portion of the cover sealing flap between the perforated lines. As will be obvious from the prior descriptions, this embodiment can be produced with more than one envelope and can include one or more response devices.
  • the cover sealing flap 25 can also be provided on composite mailing wrappers used on catalogs or magazines of any thickness where it is deemed important to protect the integrity of the article.
  • cover flap can be sealed after assembly to the catalog by hot melt or other conventional adhesive means, or by wafer seals, tape, and the like.
  • a window 23 can be die-cut at a position in one or both of the cover sheets to reveal the title, publisher or other information printed on the catalog cover.
