Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0633194A1] The mailing envelope has a front sheet section (1) and a rear sheet section (2). Adjoining the front sheet section is a folded-back flap (9) which protrudes into the gap between the front (1) and the rear sheet section (2). The mailing envelope is closed by an adhesive strip (10) which connects the rear sheet section (2) to the flap (9). Furthermore, the mailing envelope has lateral, folded-over flaps (6,7), by means of which the front sheet section (1) of the envelope is bonded to the rear sheet section (2). Mounted at the free edge (8) of each flap (6,7) is an adhesive section (4) which extends visibly beyond the free edge (8) and has a colouring which contrasts with the colour of the sheet section (1,2). A further correspondingly coloured adhesive section (5) is located on the base of the folding point (3) between the front sheet section (1) and the folded-over flaps (6,7). If the mailing envelope is separated at the adhesive sections (4,5) in an unauthorised manner in order to remove the contents and is then closed again, this unauthorised manipulation is indicated visually by incorrect positioning at the adhesive sections (4,5). Printed on the flap (9) is an identification marking (19) which (19a) is repeated on an attachment strip (14) which is releasably connected to the envelope via a perforation (18). <IMAGE>
