Description

  The present invention relates to an envelope that can be suitably used when sending an application form such as a credit card.

Conventionally, application forms such as credit cards have been sent in envelopes (for example, Patent Document 1). This is because postcards are too small to meet the requirements.
Therefore, the leaflet part that introduces credit cards and the sealed letter type are widely used, but here, the sealed letter-type leaflet has been broken by the postal code sorting device. ing.

  Causes include (1) increased stress on the envelope (pressure applied to the object) due to the higher speed of the postal code sorting device, and (2) the use of coated paper due to integration with the flyer part. It is done.

  (1) To increase the speed of the postal code sorting device, while keeping the speed up, the installation space is kept at a conventional level. There is also a response, stress will increase greatly.

  (2) Integration with the flyer part has recently increased the use of coated paper in order to enhance the eye catching effect of the flyer part other than sealed letters. Coated paper is used on at least one side of the base paper. In addition, since the coating agent mixed mainly with a rubber component and a pigment component is applied to the entire surface, the air permeability is poor, and depending on the situation in which the application form is enclosed and sealed, air accumulates inside, and this air has a small radius. When passing through a narrow place, it has been broken to cause trouble by concentrating on one place.

  This problem is caused by (i) changing the paper from coated paper to high-quality paper, (ii) providing a place where no gluing is provided on a part of the peripheral edge, or making a hole in the base material itself to form a part of the envelope. A certain improvement is possible by devising such as providing an air vent hole, but if you want to take into account the flyer element of (2) above, you have to use coated paper to integrate As a result, the sealed letter had to be coated paper.

On the other hand, even if it is integrated, there is a type in which an envelope is prepared separately.
This is an application form in the form of a development drawing, which is an envelope by cutting it out at a predetermined position, bending it, applying glue, or fastening it with tape.

Since the sender creates the envelope himself, the envelope strength has the aspect that can be considered by himself, but in addition to the fundamental problem that the desire to apply is cut down due to the difficulty of making the envelope, the envelope is opened. Since the side to be used is also integrated, it was necessary to open it carefully, and the workability of the side receiving the application was not so good.
