ABSTRACT:
A direct mail solicitation device includes an outer wrapper folded along one edge, open at one end, closed at the other end and having an adhesive coated flap extending along the other side edge thereof for sealing the wrapper along said other side edge. An elongated inner sheet, having first and second portions, is folded about a transverse fold line and disposed in said outer wrapper with the fold line adjacent the closed end of the outer wrapper with the end of at least one of said portions opposite the fold line disposed adjacent the open end of the outer wrapper. A reply envelope is disposed in said outer wrapper between said first and second portions of said inner sheet adjacent said fold line and is dimensioned relative to said outer wrapper to be frictionally compressed between the side edges of said outer wrapper when said flap is sealed to said wrapper thereby locking the reply envelope and the folded sheet within said outer wrapper. The method for assembling the device includes folding first and second portions of an elongated sheet about a traverse fold line, locating a reply envelope having a width greater than the width of said elongated sheet between said first and second portions adjacent said fold line, inserting said sheet and envelope into an outer wrapper which is folded along one side edge, opened at one end, closed at the other end and having an adhesive coated flap along the other side edge which is opened upon insertion of the sheet and envelope into the outer wrapper wherein the reply envelope has a width substantially equal to the width of the outer wrapper, and sealing the flap to the wrapper to compress the reply envelope between the side edges of the outer wrapper to frictionally lock the envelope in the wrapper to prevent accidental withdraw of the sheet from the open end of the outer wrapper.
