Abstract

A four panel mailer formed of a single sheet or ply of paper is including an elongated sheet (10) of material adapted to receive indicia and made up of four connected panels (18, 20, 22, 24) including two end panels (18, 24) at opposite ends of the sheet and two intermediate panels (20, 22) adjacent one another and located between and adjacent respective ones of the end panels (18, 24). One of the end panels (18) is somewhat longer in the direction of elongation of the sheet (10) than the other of the end panels (24) and has an address window (38). The other of the end panels (24) has two lines of apertures (66) extending in the direction of elongation of the sheet. As a consequence, the intermediate panels (20, 22) may be folded against and glued to each other to define a return envelope and the one end panel (18) may be folded over the other end panel (24) with glue (84) extending through the apertures ( 66) so that the end panels (18) and (24) are folded against one of the intermediate panels (22) to be glued thereto by glue (84) extending through the line of aperture (66).
