As shown by the imaginary line 17a at the portion where the opening is to be made, the width may be further reduced so as to eliminate the opening means, and the opposing piece 13 itself can be eliminated.

In the folding envelope sheet 1, a reply paper 18 and a reply envelope 19 are provided in a region other than the sheet surface which becomes the above-mentioned upper envelope and the lower envelope, so as to be separable, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. The reply sheet 18 is vertically folded in the first direction X.
, Which spreads over a plurality of continuous sheet surfaces through the sheet, and can be separated by the cutting perforation 20 which advances in parallel at a required distance to the horizontal folding portion 3 and advances in the second direction Y at a required position. Is provided. Thus, the reply sheet 18
Has a size that spreads over a plurality of sheet surfaces, but the size in the second direction Y is set smaller than the size of the sheet surface in the second direction Y. The reply sheet 18 is provided with a reply item description section 21 on one side. Of course, the reply item description section 21 may be provided on both sides of the reply sheet 18.

[0011] The reply envelope 19 is provided in a state of juxtaposition with the reply paper 18 as shown in the figure. This reply envelope 19 is cut out of the reply paper 18, and the seal portion 22 is continuous through the perforation 20. The reply envelope upper paper 23 and the reply envelope lower paper 24 which is overlapped with the reply envelope upper paper 23 and sealed on three sides are sealed. And is configured as an open-ended envelope. Then, from the side of the sheet body 2,
The perforation 20 extending along the opening reaches the opening 25 for forming the side slope of the sealing portion 22,
Since the perforation 20 for cutting between the reply paper 19 and the reply paper 19 extends toward the opening 25, the reply envelope 19 itself is provided so as to be separable from the sheet body 2.
Note that one side of the sealing portion 22 is inclined at the opening 25, and the other side is inclined by cutting out the lower edge of the sheet body 2 at the other side. Reference numeral 26 is reply address information provided on the reply envelope 23. If this reply address information 26 is predetermined as one specific address information, it is provided by printing, and is changed according to the destination of the sealed letter composed of the folded letter sheet. In this case, the address information A may be printed simultaneously with the output.

As described above, the folded letter-sealing sheet 1 is folded laterally at one end to be wound at the vertical folding portion 4, so that the lengths of the inner circumference and the outer circumference in the winding direction are different. , From the sheet surface on the winding start side to the sheet surface on the winding end, a first direction X of the sheet surface
Are gradually increased in width. Since one side of the reply sheet 18 is located on the winding end side, the reply sheet 18 is separated and
In the folded state, the dimension of the sheet surface on the winding end side is the dimension in the folded state of the return paper 18 as it is. On the other hand, in the case where the reply envelope 19 is formed on the reply envelope with a single sheet surface, there is also a sealing portion for forming the reply envelope, so that the reply paper 18 is to be stored. In that case, a part will protrude. However, in the present invention, the reply envelope 18 has a size larger than one sheet surface, and the inner depth dimension is set to a size that allows the folded reply paper 18 to be inserted. Therefore, even if the reply sheet 18 is folded with the folding habit in the vertical folding section 4, the reply sheet 18 can be properly inserted into the reply envelope 19, and the labor for re-folding the reply sheet 18 into a small size is not required.

In order to create a folded letter 27 from the folded letter sheet 1 having the above structure and the predetermined information printed thereon, as shown in FIG. Is folded horizontally in the second direction Y. Next,
An adhesive is applied to the adhesive application area 8 of the exposed sealing piece 7 and the adhesive application area 10 on the side of the horizontal fold 3, and FIG.
In (a), the right-hand side of the drawing (the side of the sheet located on the side opposite to the sealed paper 5) is used as a winding start point to perform the winding folding from the vertical folding section 4 in the first direction X (FIG. 2
(B)). In this way, the sealing pieces 7 are adhered to each other by applying the adhesive to the adhesive application planned areas 8 and 10 and winding and folding the same, and the opposing portions a and b,
C and d, and e and f are bonded in a state where they can be peeled off. After that, an adhesive is applied to the adhesive application planned area 14 of the sealing piece 12, and then the sealing piece 12 and the opposing piece 13 are superimposed on and adhered to the letter paper 6. In this way, a predetermined folded portion is attached, and a sealed folded letter 24 is obtained (see FIG. 2 (d)). In order to open the folded envelope 24 made of the illustrated folded envelope sheet, the sealing piece 12 is opened from the opening means 15 and the sealing piece 7 is separated from the easy-opening means 9. If the sheet main body 2 is opened by returning the wound and folded state while separating the scheduled application area 10 and the peeling part 11, the entire surface of the sheet main body 2 can be seen.

After unfolding the folded envelope sheet 1 as described above, necessary information is described in the reply item description section 21 of the reply sheet 18, and the reply sheet 18 and the reply envelope 19 are separated. Alternatively, after separating, the required information is described in the reply item description section 21. Then, after that, the reply paper 18 may be folded with the folding habit attached to the vertical folding portion 4 and put in a reply envelope 19 and then sealed.

[0015]

According to the present invention described above, a folded envelope can be created in a state in which a reply sheet and a reply envelope are integrated on the sheet body, and the individual pamphlets as in the related art are used for sending to the recipient. In addition, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of accurately assembling a reply envelope or the like into an envelope. Then, even on the side receiving the folded envelope, the reply sheet or the envelope can be obtained by a simple operation of expanding the folded envelope without damaging the reply sheet or the envelope. Then, it can be inserted into the reply envelope only by the re-folding operation of folding the separated reply paper according to the folding habit, thereby greatly reducing the time and effort required for replying.
