Abstract
The present invention provides a new report cover system that is useful for providing the user with a convenient, integrated tuck closure device for securing the front cover and thereby enclosing the desired report contents. The present invention also provides a report cover system with a novel information layout, wherein an inner face of the report cover and any text or other materials printed on, attached thereto, or visible therethrough, are visible as the user turns the pages of the report contents. The report cover system includes back cover means, a front cover, and at least one front cover strip, to which the report contents are attached, such that there is a groove by and between the report contents and an inner face of the front cover strip(s). The new report cover is closed by tucking an edge of the front cover into the groove created by and between the front cover strip and the report contents attached thereto. Any suitable means can be used to secure the report contents to the front cover strip(s), including staples, adhesive, and fasteners.
