ABSTRACT:
Combination mailer comprising postcard-weight stock having therein at least two areas, a first right hand area for an address and postage and a left hand area which includes a partially perfed (die cut) index card which may be removed from the combination mailer. The index cards may be standard small size or a larger size depending on the size of the mailable card used. The index card may be oriented horizontally or vertically. A vertical boundary between the left and right side areas is defined by a scoring, perf line, printed line or dashes in order to assist in removing the index cards from the mailer. Only partial perforations are used to define the index card margins to prevent the mailer from being folded, mutilated, lost or delayed in the mailing. Microperfs are preferred. Preferably, the index card is oriented vertically with only the T-shaped notches along the bottom margin being perfed out, leaving the bottom margin or top margin to be cut with scissors. A tab can also be defined by perfs inset from the top edge of the index card. Preferably the card stock is paper, plasticized paper or plastic, and may be in bright or neon colors. The combination mailers may be printed "four-up" on standard 81/2".times.11" sheet and may be removed from the sheet along a single horizontal and a single vertical line. This orientation of the index card in the postcard permits preprinting the sender's information regarding its business on the index card along with a promotional message on the back side of the mailer correlating to the address portion. Auxiliary information regarding the sender's business may be provided on the back side of the index card, or may be left blank for the user. This permits mailing the index cards at a lower postal card rate, and obviates all the costs of envelopes accompanying letters, collating and stuffing of full sized envelopes.
