Abstract
The recipient of a mailer, following pre-printed instructions, severs a marginal portion in order to separate a cover sheet, through a window of which the initial mail-to address label was visible, from a return envelope. The recipient then detaches a remittance document from the separated cover sheet and places it in the return envelope, e.g. together with a bank check or other form of payment, seals the return envelope and peels off the initial mail-to address label, thus exposing the pre-printed return mail to address. The peeled-off label is to be re-applied up in the upper left corner sender's return address position. The initial mail-to address label and the underlying return mail to address may be provided on the respective layers of a so-called piggyback label.
