Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0225135A2] A method of producing a mailable document without using an envelope, in which method a piece of paper is fed to a computer-controlled printer, which prints variable information including a name-and-address field (23) thereon. The paper is then folded about four parallel lines which divide the paper into four areas (20, 2l, 22 and 23) and a flap in such a way that printing on two areas (20 and 2l) are concealed within the completed mailable document, and the name and address are exposed. At least some portions of the overlying marginal regions are then adhered together to seal the document. Perforations may be provided along the marginal regions to assist opening of the document, and along the fold lines to assist separation of the document into separate pieces by a recipient.
