Definitions
- the invention relates to two perforated lines running parallel on a envelope with a strip of material in most instances glued, fixed or welded to the underside for reinforcement between the two perforated lines with a tab at each end to aid in the EASY OPEN of envelopes of all types and sizes and including the large commercial systems.
- This system allows for a window to be produce in the envelope.
- the EASY OPEN system is activated by lifting the tab and tearing the reinforced strip at 90 degrees along the perforated lines (the system is designed so that the tear strip can be activated from either end) which in turn removes a portion of the envelope (window) for the easy retrieval of the contents.
- the system is positioned on the sealing flap or any portion of a envelope, with a symbol or wording indication direction of pull for tab.
- the distance between the perforated lines will varies according to type and weight of envelope system being used.
- Envelopes that require security under this system will require the severity of the perforation to be reduced and to compensate the weight of the reinforcing under the tab and tear section is increased.
- EASY OPEN SYSTEM may be best suited incorporated into the bottom portion of the envelope.
