Definitions
- the invention relates to a two-way envelope from a one-piece blank made of paper, cardboard or a plastic film, on which a front part and a rear part are formed by a folding line, which, after being unfolded, form a container which is held together by means of lateral folding flaps which can be folded about further folding lines of the blank is and can be closed by means of a closure flap which can be folded over by a further folding line and is provided with adhesive.
- Such a two-way envelope is known from DE 34 16 621 AI and is intended to be used both in the initial shipment from the sender to the addressee and again when returning the original addressee to the sender.
- Such envelopes are suitable, for example, for use in mail order companies.
- the known two-way envelope has the disadvantage that it is difficult to fold and there is a risk that it will be damaged when it is opened for the first time and that it cannot be reused.
- the object of the invention is to improve a two-way envelope of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that simple folding over is possible and damage to the envelope when opening is largely avoided.
- FIG. 3 shows the blank according to FIG. 2, however, with the side folding flaps folded in, FIG.
- FIG. 4 shows the blank according to FIG. 3 but with the closure flap folded down
- Fig. 5 shows the blank of Fig. 4 in one
- Fig. 6 two further blanks of a two and 7 way envelope in the unfolded position.
- Fig. 1 shows the blank 2 of the two-way envelope 1 in the opened position.
- the blank 2 has a central surface section which forms the front part 3 of the two-way envelope 1.
- One edge of the central surface section is formed as a folded edge 11, to which the closure flap 12 is connected as a further surface section.
- the other edge of the central surface section is formed as a folded edge 5, to which the surface section of the rear part 4 adjoins.
- Folding flaps 9, 10 are formed on the side edges of the central surface section and connected to the front part 3 via folding lines 7, 8.
- insertion tabs 15, 16 are formed by means of slots 21, 22.
- the slots 21, 22 are arranged parallel to the fold lines 7, 8.
- the insertion tabs 15, 16 are inserted into a slot 17 which is formed on the rear part 4.
- the free corner sections 27, 28 of the insertion tabs 15, 16 it is possible to design the free corner sections 27, 28 of the insertion tabs 15, 16 to be rounded or beveled.
- a transverse strip 23 is formed on the end section 18 of the closure flap 12 by means of a separating perforation 24.
- An adhesive strip 19 is provided on the surface of the transverse strip 23 that serves as the rear side 25 when the two-way envelope 1 is used for the first time.
- the closure flap 12 is glued to the rear part 4.
- this must be released from the transverse strip 23 on the separating perforation 24, which remains adhering to the rear part 4.
- a further adhesive strip 20 is formed, by means of which the closure flap 12 is glued to the rear part 4 when the two-way envelope 1 is used for the second time.
- the rear part 4 is first folded around the fold line 5 onto the front part 3. Then the folding flaps 9, 10 are folded around the folding lines 7, 8 onto the rear part 4 and the insertion flaps 21, 22 are inserted into the slot 17 of the rear part 4 (FIGS. 2 and 3). Then the flap 12 is folded around the fold line 11 on the rear part 4. By removing a protective film from the adhesive tape 19, the flap 12 then adheres to the rear part 4 (FIGS. 4 and 5).
- the blank 2 For a second use of the blank 2 as a two-way envelope 1, it is only Requires to unfold the blank 2 back into a plane and then to fold the rear part 4, the folding flaps 9, 10 and the closure flap 12 onto the front part 3 in the opposite direction as when it was first used. It is also possible to provide a rectangular or square opening in the front part 3 of the blank 2, which opening is closed with a transparent film. As a result, the two-way envelope 2 can be used as a window envelope.
- FIG. 6 shows a blank 30 for the formation of a further two-way envelope 29.
- This blank 30 has no slot 17 in the rear part 4.
- the insertion tabs 15, 16 are formed on the folding tabs 9, 10 so as to be oriented opposite to one another. After folding the folding flaps 9, 10 around the folding lines 7, 8, the insertion flaps 15, 16 can therefore be inserted into one another in the slots 21, 22.
- the corner sections 28 of the insertion tabs 15, 16 are designed with bevels.
- FIG. 7 shows a further simplified blank 32 of a two-way envelope 31.
- this blank 32 no insertion flaps 15, 16 are provided on the folding flaps 9, 10.
- the folding flaps 9, 10 are folded over to form the two-way envelope 31 only around the folding lines 7, 8 until they lie one on top of the other. Then the rear part 4 is folded onto the folding tabs 9, 10 and then, as described above, the closure is carried out by means of the closure flap 12.
- Back part 4 of the respective cut as a postcard be designed, which can then be forwarded for itself after loosening the relevant blank.
