ABSTRACT:
An envelope having two flaps, a front flap and back flap extending respectively from the front and back walls of the envelope pocket. The back flap has approximately the same vertical dimension as the envelope pocket. A set of three scrolling panels are defined on the back flap by fold lines between them. The distal panel has adhesive on its inner face and the proximal panel has a set of apertures that correspond to a set of apertures on the front flap through which the adhesive on the distal panel is wetted for sealing the scrolling back flap into engagement with the front of the envelope pocket. The front flap parks in a forward position until it is ready for use and provides a window (apertures) through which adhesive sealing of the back flap distal panel is made to the envelope pocket. This configuration permits a first mailing of this envelope structure which accomplishes the tasks of a conventional two-way envelope. The envelope also functions as a multi-path or multi-purpose envelope in that when it is sent to a recipient as an enclosure in another mail package, such as is often used in reply mail solicitations and in collecting bills, the recipient has available at least two mutually exclusive addressing schemes for mailing the inventive envelope.
