Abstract

An improvement in the making of a rectangular envelope by folding adjoining triangular corner flaps on a rectangular sheet, and also in the resulting envelopes themselves and the blank sheets from which they are made, whereby certain sheet edge sections on each pair of adjoining triangular flaps become exactly aligned and partially coincident and an overlap of the last-folded closure flap is of uniform width throughout its length, all by application of particular mathematical formulae.
