Abstract

A business form is provided that can be constructed into a two-way mailer. The form contains pre-printed non-varying information. The form user prints variable information on the front face of the form. The form is foldable in a Z-fold about two substantially parallel fold lines. The fold lines divide the form into three generally equally sized sections. Segments of pressure-sensitive adhesive material are disposed on front and rear faces of the form for sealing open outer edges of the form after it has been folded to form a sealed mailer. A recipient of the mailer can open the mailer and construct a return envelope from it. For this purpose, the form includes segments of remoistenable adhesive disposed on the rear face of form to seal open outer edges of the form.
