Abstract

A decorative envelope packet which may be mounted on a wall, and includes detachable envelopes in the form of a plurality of stacked envelopes encased within a decorative coverlayer. The coverlayer extends along the entire back portion of the envelopes and is connected by wire staples to the stacked flap portions of the envelopes. The decorative coverlayer is folded about three fold lines so as to completely enclose the wire staples, and so as to at least partially cover the flap portions of the front of the decorative envelope packet. The total enclosure of the wire staples ensures that during shipment of the decorative envelope packets the wire staples of one packet does not damage the decorative printing on the coverlayer of the adjacent packet, and in addition, this arrangement prevents inadvertent nicking or cutting of the user's fingers by the clinched ends of the wire staples.
