Abstract

An envelope suitable for use in automatic teller machines is composed of two separate sheets of material forming a rectangular front panel l0 and a rectangular back panel 20 respectively. The front panel l0 and back panel 20 are adhesively secured along three marginal edges l2,l3,l4 and a closure flap l5 extends from the front panel l0 along its unsecured edge ll. The surface of the closure flap facing the back panel carries an adhesive substance l6 whereby the closure flap may be folded along the said unsecured edge ll over the back panel 20 and secured thereto to close and seal the envelope. The material of one of the panels is a translucent paper receptive to conventional printing processes and adapted to permit visual inspection of the envelope contents when the envelope is sealed.
