ABSTRACT:
One form of conventional shipping unit includes a plurality of forms interconnected at their ends by tabs for bearing information concerning, inter alia, the shipper and consignee. Most of the forms are carried by a sleeve or envelope, which has an adhesive backing for connecting the envelope to a package to be shipped. When a plurality of packages are to be shipped in a single shipment, it is necessary to prepare a plurality of forms, to provide a separate sheet of labels bearing the same information, e.g. bar codes or numerals, or to label each of the packages with a pen, marker or stamp. It has been found that part of the removable cover for the rear or bottom adhesive bearing surface of the envelope can be used for labelling purposes, i.e. can provide labels bearing the same identifying indicia for a plurality of packages being shipped with a single set of forms. This is achieved by providing adhesive on the periphery of the bottom surface of the envelope and on the top surface of the labels, which define the central area of the cover. The remaining areas of the bottom surface of the envelope and of the top surface of the cover are coated with a release agent. Thus, the labels can be removed from the cover for use on a plurality of packages, and the periphery of the bottom surface of the envelope can be adhered to one package. The cover for the adhesive surface of the envelope has until now been considered to be waste.
