ABSTRACT:
Pressure sensitive adhesive labels having postal indicia on them are used to produce mailing pieces, and allow production of distinctive mailing pieces at high speeds (e.g. 300-500 feet per minute). The labels have "POSTAGE PAID", an indication of rate such "BULK RATE" or "FIRST CLASS MAIL", and an indication of permit authorization such as "PERMIT NO.". The pressure sensitive adhesive of the label is adhered to an envelope or postcard at an upper right corner of an addressable face of the envelope or postcard. The label may have the same size as (and simulate) a conventional postage stamp, and the indicia may overlie the decorative graphics, with the indicia and the decorative graphics sharply color contrasting. The labels may simulate first class postage metering including a circle indicating the zip code of origin. The labels are typically either tipped on or blown on an envelope web, and a business reply envelope (also with a label having similar "POSTAGE PAID" indicia, etc.) may be inserted in an outgoing envelope (if a distinct envelope), or may be formed with the outgoing envelope (if a mailer type business form).
