ABSTRACT:
A stuffed mailing envelope is formed from webs of paper. A plurality of insert sheets are constructed from webs of insert paper by variably imaging the insert webs, and then intelligently aligning them and cutting them into aligned sheets, and then folding the aligned sheets to produce a formed insert. A plurality of interconnected envelope blanks are formed from an envelope web of paper, and a plurality of insert sheets (including the formed insert) are collected and placed on each of the envelope blanks while they are interconnected in web form. Then, while conveying the interconnected envelope blanks in web form, the blanks are severed from each other and are formed around the inserts to produce a final mailing envelope containing a plurality of insert sheets. The envelope blank typically has two parallel minor flaps and two parallel major flaps. The envelope is formed by sequentially plough folding over the minor flaps, severing the leading interconnected blank from the next blank so that the major flaps are free, changing the direction of conveyance, applying adhesive to the major flaps, and plough folding the major flaps so that the adhesive comes into contact with the minor flaps and the other major flap.
