ABSTRACT:
A reusable, returnable envelope is disclosed, which has a removable front cover sheet and a resealable closure flap. A primary envelope body has a front wall, a back wall, and a sealable closure flap. A tear-away front cover sheet is secured over the face of the front wall and carries a first address. After removal of the cover sheet, the front wall is exposed, which forms an address area and can be provided with a pre-printed return address. The closure flap includes at least two adhesive areas separated by at least one tear strip element and at least one guide strip associated therewith. On the first use of the envelope, the closure flap is opened without destruction by pulling on the tear strip, severing the original flap across its width and forming a new, shorter closure flap. The envelope is readied for its second use by removal of the front cover sheet and resealing of the closure flap using the second adhesive area. Preferably, a second tear strip/guide strip combination is provided to facilitate re-opening of the closure flap.
