Abstract

A mailer type business form includes a top ply with a cutout having an area and position comparable to an address area on a piece of mail. A second insert ply underlies the top ply including at the cutout. The insert ply has a localized coating of self-imaging material formed directly beneath the cutout and only in the area of the cutout. The cutout is preferably completely open, free of any material in it or covering it. However under some circumstances a patch of transparent material may cover the cutout. Other plies may also be included in the mailer including a return envelope, with a bottom ply cooperating with a top ply to define an out-going envelope.
