Next, the collective cutting unit 14 cuts at the positions of the cutting instruction marks 4a, 4b by a cutter blade which moves up and down to make five unit sheets 10 overlap each other (step 103). Further, while being transported in the same direction, the unitary folding section 15 folds the five unit sheets 10 into the three-fold state while keeping them overlapping (step 104).
The enclosure 16 is used. The enclosed material 16 is further transferred in the same direction, and three leaflets 18a,
8b and 18c are sequentially placed on the enclosure 16 (step 105).

On the other hand, the envelope paper 20 in a continuous state in which predetermined information including a collation mark is preliminarily printed is pulled out in the horizontal direction, and flaps 20a and 20b are formed on the pair of opposite sides in the die cut portion 22 (step 10).
6), the front side and the back side are reversed and transferred, and the matching mark is read by the matching sensor 23 on this transfer path, and the read matching mark and the inclusion 1 transferred to the preceding stage of the enclosing and sealing part 19
The matching with the collation mark 5 of 6 is checked (step 107).

When the collation is confirmed, the leaflets 18a, 18a
The enclosure 16 on which b and 18c are placed is sent to the enclosing and sealing unit 19 and placed on the unit envelope 21 of the envelope sheet 20 in a continuous state (step 108). If the collation is not confirmed, the transfer operation is stopped, the collation mark of the unit envelope 21 and the collation mark 5 of the enclosure 16 placed on the unit envelope 21 are adjusted to coincide with each other, and then restarted. Next, the continuous envelope paper 20 on which the enclosure 16 is placed is replaced with the unit envelope 21.
To disconnect (step 109).

At the time of this cutting, the flaps 20c and 2 are newly added.
0d is formed, and the pair of flaps 20a, 2a extending in the transfer direction while further transferring the unit envelope 21 in the same direction.
0b is folded, and then the pair of flaps 2 extending in the transfer direction while being transferred by converting the transfer direction into a right angle direction
0c and 20d are folded, glued and sealed (step 110). In this way, the envelope 30 in which the enclosure 16 is enclosed and sealed is continuously produced.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and for example, the envelope 30 is not limited to one made from the envelope paper 20 in a continuous state, and a one-side opening type envelope made in advance may be used. It is possible. In this case,
The use of a window opening envelope is preferable because it is not necessary to compare the enclosure 16 with the envelope. Further, the print contents of the unit paper 10 to be enclosed are different only in the address information 6 of the enclosed sheet 1a to be superposed on the top, and other information is the same in each enclosed sheet 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e. In this case, the matching sensors 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d, 1
It is not necessary to provide 2e, and it is sufficient if the unit sheets 10 are collated so as to overlap each other vertically. In addition, flyer 18
The a, 18b, and 18c do not necessarily have to be enclosed in the envelope 30 together with the enclosure 16.
